The city installs a sign for "Foley Square" that says "Folley Square"
is Gothamist writing signs now too?
surely the broken angel bit deserves its own post!?
awesome photo. homoerotic, yes, but, whatever. i still like it.
///...after he used his car's lights and sirens, plus a fake badge,...
This is going to make it difficult for someone who has to make a quick decision if the person that is stopping them is really undercover law enforcement or an imposter who would rob or rape them.
If you are stopped on a deserted street, do you risk running away and violating the law if you are concerned about the identity?
What the hell is homoerotic about that photo, matty?
I think you are letting your own private fantasies slip into real life.
I swear the guy in the middle has to be Billy Zane.
The same person who laid down the type for the "Folley" sign must've also created the "Vessey Street" sign for Vesey street down by the overpass to WFC.
i'm with andrew - the broken angel story should have been a feature.
it's totally Billy Zane.
