new york i love you, but you're bringing me down

A few weeks ago, I joined Zipcar. Since then, I have used it twice including today to go to Target to buy a cupcake baking tin.

In order to get to Target, I have to drive down Queens Boulevard, also known as the Boulevard of Death. With SIXTEEN LANES OF TRAFFIC at some points, people are apt to simply close their eyes and run across when they need to be from one side to another. It averages 10 deaths a year. In order to curb it's reputation for being a human carnival game, NYC has installed cameras AT EVERY SINGLE CORNER of Queens Blvd and sometimes randomly in the middle. So needless to say it's a long, arduous journey from my apartment to Target.

But not today. No, not today.

Today while stopped at a light I looked over and saw a sign for a strip club called "Wiggles."
