Hats off to Wilkes-Barre again. Bram wanted to stay another day in WB instead of heading to NYC to see his cousins. I was quite taken by the life in WB but it was time to get to NYC, our northermost stop, to see everyone in the city and get going on the final planning relating to mom's party on Saturday.
It's amazing that NYC and Wilkes-Barre are just over two hours apart. A world of difference. Yet one similarity. I got a parking spot literally right in front of the door of Jeff's building on West End Ave just as I had on Charles St. Unprecedented. Bram says we can never leave. Alas, we must leave by 11 AM on Thursday when they street clean. Yet another similarity between WB and NYC. Regular street cleaning days. One crazy thing about WB I forgot to mention, though forward thinking I might add, is that they charge per bag of garbage for pick up. Actually you buy these stickers in advance and put them on your bags. You don't actually pay the garbage man directly. Wonder if this is a common practice I've never come across....
