Coming back from my run on the west side pedestrian highway, I noticed that the Dunkin Donuts on the corner of 9th ave and 41st street, a veritable landmark, was closed. Things never stop changing around here. There's now a barber shop a few doors away offering "men haircut 12$". There's been at least 3 stores in that front over the last couple of months.
One thing that hasn't changed is that the neighborhood is still grungy. I came home yesterday after work and was in and out of the apt, ferrying laundry back and forth. The same bum sitting on my doorstep asked me 3 times whether or not I had any change. He looked drunk, but not that drunk.
I've seriously considered moving out to Broolyn to save some money, since with my current fixed expenses, I don't really save any money each month out of my monthly paycheck. After spending some time on craigslist though, it looks like most of the savings come from having roommates. I enjoy living by myself, but a grand a month seems like a worthy cause.
