It's a sad story. But your editorial choices ("snip" locations) suggest things about your priorities and editorial bias that might be pitiful. For you, a chance to use NYC and "poop" in the same paragraph.

Unremarked, of course, is just how routine, normal, and good "summer in New York" is for the millions of other residents of the City.

I live in NYC (Manhattan) and the city is turning back into the cess pool that Giuliani fixed. Yesterday morning, my kids got the chance to jump over a big pile of vomit on the sidewalk on our way to get some bagels for breakfast. As well as spying on the Puerto Ricans digging through the trash bags on our street looking for discarded electronics and other trinkets.
