Maybe this place could hire someone to do coffee and simple food in the mornings.... with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays...could be something like Life Cafe in the East Village & Bushwick (it was the first such thing out in Bushwick and was very early in the East Village as well)

I miss Charrito's...they had some of the best Mex food I ever ate. Unfortunately they ran off and did not pay bills, or something strange like that. This past weekend celebrated the opening of the skankiest, filthiest diner I have ever seen outside of the Bowery on the LES (and I used to live there so I know of what I am referring to). To boot, there were 6 or 7 homeless-appearing ppl waiting for the place to open for breakfast at 7AM on a Sunday morning. Curious as I am I walked in and found the place rank, stank, dark, and the same counters, tables, and probably kitchen appliances that Charritos left were being used in this new place. Avoid at all costs. And no, I did not eat here...it smelled like a sewer backed up in there...so I turned and left.

This is the only product I have ever found that actually works. Put it on counter tops or under baseboard along the ants "path".

There seems to be an unwritten rule in my neighborhood about how far down the driveway you can put something before it lands in the "free store." We had a handtruck on our driveway for several days, maybe even a week, but it was always up near the house. One evening, we inadvertently left it about halfway down the driveway. The next morning it was gone and our neighbor told us that someone on a bike had laid it over his handlebars and rode away with it.

Yes - my neighbor did try to stop him (yelling, running, etc.) but he was gone.

I imagine that he ran his bike into a tree trying to steer it with a big handtruck laid over it. It helps.

The problem with the dollar busses is they stop wherever the heck they want. I know at least three people that got into actual accidents with them and I have been in several near accidents.

With a regulated bus you have bus stops you can count on. You see signs as you approach them.

Drive behind or next to a dollar bus at your own peril. You never know when its going to come to a halt or switch a lane right in to you .

I think the city needs a better transport system but dollar busses need to be curbed!
