the rumors of socrates' death have been greatly exaggerated.
On a weekday B61 ride up Manhattan Avenue, around 3:30pm, it seems that only ONE side of Socrates is for rent. The other side appears to be alive and kicking. Why it was not alive and kicking on a Saturday afternoon (when the photographs were taken) might be WHY that side is up for rent, but at least part of Manhattan Ave. has been saved from the Blimpies and Soup Men of the world.
At least for now.
Tomorrow, a report on a tree massacre and missing lightpost.
