A certain demographic takes serious offense to this. I don't know why, but I've seen it before and it's definitely a thing.

We were checking out at a Nordstrom in Chicago over the summer when my wife and I were having a jovial conversation with the black clerk. My wife pulled out a $100 bill to pay for her merchandise and set it on the counter. The black clerk suddenly wasn't smiling and said "Miss, please pick up that bill and place it in my hand". We looked at each other completely confused. My wife asked if that was a security measure or something, the clerk responded "no, it's just a respect thing".

If you bought the cheap Maytag your wife will be waiting a long time till that dryer dies. No computers, a belt, and a heater will last forever. Congrats

Sadly we bought the top of the line fancy maytags. The washer lasted about 5 years before it needed a $500 controller, that's when we bought the SQ Washer. The dryer is still chugging along.

Because of this board, I bought a speed queen washer. Wife thought I was crazy to pay that much for an old school washer. We've had it for a couple years now & she's a speed queen fanatic. She can't wait till our Maytag dryer dies!

I bought a knockoff on Amazon. It served its purpose for a while until I discovered popup wallets ( Eckster).

You might try googling corporate discount codes and try a few to see if any of those rates are available, they usually have flexible cancelation policies.

I prefer Crescent 9. They've got several good flavors. One can gives a nice little buzz after about 30 mins.

transportation around the city isnt cheap.

As long as you stick to the Subway & Bus, you'll spend no more than $35 on transportation for the week. We usually stay in the UWS near the 72nd St Station. There's an express train that gets you to TS in about 5 mins.

Considering there was a massive brawl right after this would lead me to believe this wasn't a private function at the time.

I don't think yall realize how slow the system moves. It can take months for BRPD to complete a report with all the shite that goes down in this town.
