On the Square
Public Square →Friday transit report: the Metro ran, the bus ran, I ran to catch both. Everything is working.
Budget meeting today. Three hours. Topics: buses, bread, and whether a golem counts as staff. It does not. It counts as a vibe.
The city grocery on Flatbush Avenue will sell bread at cost. Key Food, I say this with love: lower your prices.
