So what's happening with Gracie, then? I wouldn't think the City would want it sitting empty. Just curious.

According to wiki:
As of 2005, current mayor Michael Bloomberg does not live in Gracie Mansion, although he uses it for meetings and events. At the beginning of Bloomberg's term he launched a major restoration of the mansion, which was funded by an anonymous donor, rumored to be the mayor himself. Bloomberg has used the Mansion as a place for official visitors to stay while in the city.

There are events there a lot. Usually there are city employees in bad suits, wearing cheap ties. You shake a few hands. Sometimes there's a photo line so you can get a picture on the lawn with Mike. Things of that nature.
And Bloomberg screwed up my zip code. I wouldn't mind if people between Lex and 5th got their own zip code because I think anything East of Lex is trashy, but he had to be silly.

What about if you're between Lex and 3rd - is that only half trashy? 
And I thought you lived in Chicago now...was that a long time ago?

Just curious.. but is Fox News running a lot of crap about the fee? I'm trying to see why anyone in KC would even know or care about this.

Ha ha - I'm not talking about me! I'm a suburban girl, now. Just wondering your opinion...
You'll really think I'm trashy when I tell you where I live...think "up the river", as in prison...But we live on the nice side of town.

So you're bridge & tunnel? I'm kidding. There's nothing wrong with the burbs (or Riverdale if that's where you live?) as long as you don't come into the meatpacking district on the weekends.

Yes I'm B&T - but Westchester so I'm snottier about it!
Dude - prison - as in Sing Sing.
And the last time I was in the meat packing district is was to get headshots done at a photographer's studio and it still smelled like rotting meat - very not "hip" then...
I'm a pregnant suburbanite with a mid-size sedan now; I'm lucky if I ever get into the city.
