<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This is where I saw a homeless woman smoking one day.  Not smoking a cigarette, but smoking, as in 'on fire.'   Someone tried to pat her down to put the fire out, but she wouldn't have it.  She was certainly schizophrenic.  It was quite a sight, I must say.<br/>Tags: fire<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/50493">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Where that bum shared TMI</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I was walking along with a friend of mine to the post office, when this bum made eye contact with us.  I didn't intend for it to happen; it just did.  I guess I didn't realize immediately that he was a bum, cux he seemed, from the look on his face, to have some important information to share with us.  I thought he was going to say something like, "The Post Office is closed today" but, instead, he yelled, "I f---- Tony Curtis in the @--!!"  Although I felt relatively nonplussed, if surprised at what he said, my friend burst out laughing at my reaction.  It was insane.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/50637">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Where I was when 9/11 Happened</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This was probably the spot where I was when 9/11 happened.  I was walking to work, and when I got to the street crossing, the policeman in the road asked me if my walkman had a radio.  I had no idea why he was asking.  I just said no.  Obviously he was asking, because the first plane had just hit.  I found out when I got into work and the internet and everything stopped working.  I remember that I had to go to the bathroom, but I thought the world was ending and a plane might hit the building I was in too, and I thought, "I don't want to die on the crapper."  I waited until later to go.<br/>Tags: 911<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/50799">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Honeymoon Antiques (old location)</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This was the location of Honeymoon Antiques my friend (at the time) Joey worked at.  There were 2 locations of the store, not far from each other.  I think this one has since closed.  I'm not 100% sure of the location, but I do know it was between B & C.  <br/>Tags: vintage, clothing, defunct<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/50618">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Where I Went to that Bimbo Party</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I went to a party in someone's gazillion-dollar loft around here one time.  I felt like the entire bimboisie of the city was in attendance.  Nearly everyone at the party was gorgeous.  I'd never seen anything like it, and I kept remarking, idiotically, "Everyone here is gorgeous!"  A couple people talked to me--some accountant, some brick-wall dumb guy from Israel, bu most people ignored me.  I was taken aback.  The loft itself was beautiful (real marble in the bathroom), but not yet furnished.  I never attended another party there.<br/>Tags: party, bimbo<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/51111">Map this on Platial</a><br />
