Each station has two long racks. They should have left some space between the racks for people to get through. Sanitation workers, people with walkers getting off at the curb, people unloading from taxis/cars, people with strollers, etc. are going to have a problem. All they needed to do was leave 6 feet of space between the racks, but the way they are set up, they are like walls. The ones that are in parking places are not a problem. They also drove our food truck row out of the neighborhood. Oh well. [ Reply | More

We have two near us taking up parking places, and they seem fine. There is one the sidewalk in front of Whole Foods that could really use a gap. Loading groceries is going to be difficult for those people with cars. There are some in front of residential buildings where you wonder how the garbage men are going to get all those bags through and around the racks. And you wonder about cabs and such dropping people off who have to unload or use walkers or wheelchairs. My mother would not be able to navigate between those bikes with her walker and going the whole way around the racks would take a lot of energy for her. Luckily, my building entrance was spared, and it is just the service entrance that is blocked. [ Reply | More

Chicken fingers and cheeseburgers were never my thing. Other childhood favorites that were typical kids food, like macaroni and cheese and hot dogs faded from my preferences around 7 or 8. I didn't start to eat a variety of foods like an adult until I was 12 or 13. I'm an only child and my parents always expected me to eat what they did. Shrimp cocktail, bleu cheese and liver and onions were favorites from the time I was a toddler. [ Reply | More
