The Word On The Street, Part II: Metropolitan Avenue
This one goes out to my friends at the Department of Sanitation and Department of Transportation whose snowplows (no less than four of them) kept me up a great deal of the night. Not that I am complaining, mind you. The sound of metal scraping nearly bare asphalt brought tears of joys to my eyes!

Remember that vote about how the ~$7,000,000 of funds the DEC recently allocated against nearly 40 years of being non-complaint with DEP regulations should be spent? Well, here are the results.
One thing I found of particular interest was individuals under the age of 21 we classified as “youth votes”. It rather bothered me, truth be told. If 18 years of age is good enough for city, state and national elections (and registering for the draft which would theoretically— if not in reality— result in some of these youths being sent to fight for their country) why are these individuals not classified as adults? So I emailed David Rivel (of the City Parks Foundation, which conducted this process) to ask why.
And here’s his answer.
So there have you.
