      - aah, too bad. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:28 5

        the Brooklyn Museum is an overlooked gem. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:32 1
        
        They have an amazing Rodin collection, more than they could put on display. Easily one of my favorite NYC museums. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 10:37

  - Unless it's Fri night :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 10:15
- I use the ATM so rarely that when I do take out cash, it's for a specific purpose, which mean the amount varies -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 10:14 1
  - *ding.* and the minimum is $20, so often I just get that, pay my parking ticket, and keep the rest. -- nm - campus wifi loves mandy lane Jul 2, 10:16

From BB's: Teenagers and millenials do not Twitter, its people 35-49 that do.....(link) - Walt_Disney Jul 2, 10:09 3

      - Absolutely. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 10:24
  - oh wow, I remember using them -- nm - zork Jul 2, 10:12 1
