I was walking around my neighborhood last night and came upon this apartment building. Maybe it's because I was in South Carolina over the weekend where most of the people are nice and welcoming, or maybe because I'm in a little bit of an "New York sucks" phase, but I this door really made me stop and laugh. In case it's hard to read, the top sign says "Private Property Keep Out". And of course the bottom says "Beware Of Dog". And you know they don't have a dog. They just don't want anyone anywhere near their house. It's like the total opposite of a welcome mat. I love it. When I was in a cab leaving the airport yesterday, another cab was next to us and a mother and little kid were crossing the road. The cab driver laid on his horn. It was awesome. It was so New York. I think people here are just trying to see how awful they can be.
