Congratulations, Jennifer. This is by far my favorite column on Brownstoner. You are a true inspiration.

Among other things, the winner of Project Runway gets $100,000. I read a New York Magazine article about Jeffrey Sebelia, in which they were trying to say the same thing- that winning the show didn't really get him anywhere. But they did say that he paid off the debt he had incurred in launching his business. So that's something!

I own a small design business myself. I know that if I won $100,000 that would be huge. Yes, it's up to the designer to do what he/she can with the leads and money they win. But to say that it does nothing for their career?

We went here recently and the salsa was delicious.

I had the fish tacos- the filling was great, but they came in flour tortillas instead of corn. This is an unfortunate trend I've found in nyc Mexican places. Having lived in California, I don't think to ask.

The waiter was kind of snotty, inmho. He seemed to fawn all over tables where people were drinking, but gave us the cold shoulder when we ordered sodas. When we were ready for the check, it was impossible to get anyone's attention, though there were plenty of people working there.

Don't think I'd go back. Seems like a "regulars" drinking establishment.

I'm not affiliated with a party, on principle. I don't believe in the two-party system. However, the fact that I could not vote for Kevin Powell yesterday made me reconsider my choice. After all these years, I might just register as a democrat for the next election. It's a frustrating choice to have to make.

The Alberts sold the land to a private developer- there's a good chance that keeping Astroland was never part of the plan. Thor might have just been buying time, waiting for the amusement park to pack up. They're probably going to build something more lucrative, such as condos. If the Alberts wanted to keep Astroland running, they probably should have worked with the city.

But then again, working with government can be a lengthy process, and Thor was offering a good sum of money. The Alberts thought they could have their cake and eat it too.
