Five years. Never off the market. Made and adjustment after the first six months and sat there for 4 and 1/2. Market finally caught up with them.

That’s a shite ton of people walking around, is it still like that?

What’s the deal with not going in the park after dark?

---

It's not as safe after dark. It's 843 acres in the middle of a huge city. There are parts of the forest there where you can't see buildings and feel like you're in the woods on the northern end. You can go but as always be prepared.

Does anyone actually own a vehicle?

---

Yes. Although it's a lot of work if you don't have a dedicated garage and parking which is very expensive. To park on the street means moving your car around to accommodate for street sweeping, parking hours, etc. Some people are just determined to drive everyday and that's allright. I found it easier to rent a car on the occasions I wanted to drive out to the Hamptons or upstate or go shopping in Jersey across the river. I used to store my car in a huge parking garage on the Piers on the West Side Highway and that involved a long walk to it or a taxi to get your car. So unless you have the means for a parking space in your building's garage it is effort, not to mention the traffic and hassle.

Hope that helps

I would delicately say that you are out of your depth in dealing with the situation. And judging from your questions and the responses in this thread I would surmise the OT and its opinions on realtors is not the best place to garner experience. I would highly recommend you engage a knowledgeable realtor to aid you in your search. If you have a realtor they are the wrong one. The good ones are quite worth it when you lack the knowledge to deal with it yourself. Any reputable realtor would not have allowed this situation to develop. Move on and don't waste more resources on an attorney. Not trying to be harsh, only truthful. Feel free to disregard. :cheers:

I would like to see some quality remakes of:

Flash Gordon

Buck Rogers

Barbarella

Unless you have a catering gig I would suggest you find the darkest grey you can find- or a deep charcoal or navy blue. Black suits never make anyone look good except for a formal tuxedo. No way to sound non harsh with the advice but it's the truth. Feel free to disregard. :cheers:

I remember one year in the mid to late 70's when the temperature for Zeus was -4 degrees with a wind chill of 15 below. It was cold, wet, and windy. I've been to the Canadian Rockies and Swiss Alps in January, and lived through a lot of snow and Noreasters in NYC, but I have never been that cold since that Monday night in Metairie. :lol:

One of the floats was a group of notorious Mandeville swingers/wife swap chicks.

I didn't know that Pontchartrain Yacht Club sponsored a float.

Watched the first episode when it dropped last night. The first episode is promising. I liked the pacing, storyline, and writing. I enjoyed season 2 but not as much as the first season. Here's to hoping it continues on an upward swing. Nice to see Anthony Michael Hall and the interplay between Reacher and the Giant looks to be satisfying. Too early to tell but I seem to like the lead federal agent. She's just ballsy enough without being over the top. We'll see.

This movie was not good.

It really kind of dissolved into mediocrity when they went into the Gorge. But I kind of mentally checked out when they had the drumming and chess montage- almost as if they were playing off Whiplash and Queen's Gambit. Whether intended or not (and how could it not be) it felt like a meta joke that just kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

No, Superman is not supposed to be dark at all. Like even remotely.

This is YOUR idea of Superman and I can respect that. Right up until the point you decide that your version is the ONLY acceptable version. Read Action Comics#1. Here's a link to the first issue pdf so you can know what you're talking about. LINK Superman was righteous retribution for bullies, criminals, corporate slum lords, and the disadvantaged. And he doled out that retribution with an unforgiving smirk. He was written this way by young, nerdish men for whom this all powerful agent of protection was born out of wish fulfillment. He was their answer to the inequity they themselves experienced, both economic and physical. The Superman you speak of truly arrived in the 1950's and by the time of the Superfriends in the 70's had become the norm- but he didn't start that way and he didn't stay that way. He has been reinvented time after time and will continue to be long after we are gone.
