What I’ll miss: Duane Reade
They’re everywhere in the city! It’s a pharmacy! It’s a convenience store! They give you $5 for every $100 you spend! It’s where some friends and I saw the wonderful, adorable Elijah Wood!
What I won’t miss: Garbage day
Sometimes they stack the bags six or more feet high! And it takes up half the sidewalk! And I fear the piles toppling and burying me alive! What a shameful, putrescent death!
A Little Thinking 
I remember being there on garbage day and was definitely somewhat disturbed by the monstrous piles of garbage on the curbs, but equally disturbed at how LOUD the pick-up was the next morning. Even up on the 11th floor it woke me out of a sound sleep way too early!
