In the headlines
In the last couple days, three stories made the headlines in New York that could have some impact on my life to greater and lesser degrees:
Big bite in Big Apple: What a surprise! Tax hit on city residents is worst in nation by far
Commentary: this sucks! If I am paying more in taxes than anyone else in the country, I want cleaner subways that actually run on the weekends and more frequent garbage pick-ups so trash bags don't have to sit on the curb.
Court: Ban on Social Dancing in New York Bars Is Legal
Commentary: Apparently the city's Cabaret Law, enacted during Prohibition, forbids dancing at all but specially licensed venues. A group of swing dancers said this infringes on their freedom of expression, but the state's Supeme Court Appellate Division disagreed and the law is going to stay on the books. I guess my days of dancing on table tops is over:-(
But just when those two stories got me thinking that maybe living in the city isn't worth it, I saw this article in the NY Post:
MCSTEAMY'S: INSIDE N.Y.C.'S HOTTEST (194°!) SINGLES SCENE
Apparently the Turkish and Russian baths on the LES are the place to be...FIELD TRIP!!

I think technically it does, although the case was brought by a swing club so I think it has more to do with organized couples dancing. It's strange any way you cut it!
