I stayed out all night last night, figuring it was one of the last days of the year when the weather would be cooperative. As usual, I sat on a park bench in front of the Moxy Hotel. There’s a woman about 50, dirty blonde hair, resembles a toad, who for some reason likes to sit on the park bench with me. She got in a shouting match with a passerby last night, waking up every guest in all 3 Court Square hotels as she called him the N-word and he threatened to beat her ass. After about five minutes I moved so I wouldn’t be there when the cops showed up.
Back tomorrow with more news.
