CANAL STREET BLUES
There are so many things about Canal Street that I hate…
Fuck the shady street vendors – constantly annoying with their fake watches and fake handbags… Fuck the dumbass tourists who don’t know how to walk as they waddle along the shitty, knockoff, wannabe Fifth Ave – gawking…and plugging up sidewalk traffic. Fuck the harried NY’rs who litter and spit at will – disgusting and insane.
But most of all…FUCK the decrepit and dangerous “street” itself – and the fucking hole in the pavement as you cross Wooster, which I fell into – hard! – on Friday (with high school kids pointing and laughing from behind) and which is still producing bruises and limping today!
Canal brings together all the worst parts of living in NYC – all on one horrible street…
