Id have to see a detailed implementation policy before I back said mayor. 😂

I think an important note is that there were 2 of us. So not “alone”, and car seats were not at all like they are now. They were 2 pieces of wood with a hook to go over the bench seating and they were very easy to get out of. Back then they were designed to stop us from sliding around on those benches, and had no chance at protecting us in the event of a crash.

Being strapped into a modern car seat completely alone for more than a few minutes is not right. If he was running in to cash a lottery ticket or something and was coming right back, I may think differently. If he was chilling at a craps table…

Born in ‘82. Mom left me and next oldest brother (‘80) in the car as far back as I can remember. 2 hours in the grand union parking lot as she got some of her own alone time. It was a blast. He and I are best friends to this day. She left the older 3 (‘78, ‘76, ‘75) home, very much alone as well. 🤷🏻. A different time, with different kids.

We could make toast, cook eggs, clean up and do our laundry before we turned 8 years old. There are 6 year olds at my kids school that can’t dress themselves. 8 year olds that can’t tie their shoes. It’s really strange to see.

Yup. Sounded like a really, really low plane. Slow moving too, right?

The perfect pint and Connollys are a few blocks north and a block or so east of Penn. it’s where we used to go before shows at msg or Nokia/Best Buy/whatever it is now theater.

Rudy’s is probably 10 blocks north and a block west of Penn. An iconic dive bar.

Not a twin. They just consider themselves brother/sister. There is a picture of McGillins in McSorelys and I asked about it.

The two beer thing is part of the hilarity imo.

But as an example; the perfect pint, Connollys, jimmys corner, long acre bar are all like mcgillins and all in a two block radius between 6th and 7th ave near 45th st. Help us narrow it down. You want neighborhood type stuff? You taking the train into Penn? How far you willing to walk/subway etc

McSorelys is McGillians brother bar. I think it’s the oldest operating bar in the us. A hilarious place that I frequent as much as possible.

But, as nonidentifiableuser said…nyc is exponentially larger than Philly. There’s literally 100’s of mcgillians. Back the deetz train up and I’ll see what I can come up with

Sister bar of McSorelys Ale house in nyc.

Underrated wing joint

Supposedly the place where the most marriages have begun. As in, that’s where couples meet for the first time.

I love dive bars. I used to smoke. It’s a great spot for me
