The Burlington Coat Factory Islamic Cultural Center That Contains A Prayer Room
See? Not nearly as catchy as "The Ground Zero Mosque."
I've got a big post coming (a review of the delightful pie shop "Four & Twenty Blackbirds") but for now, here's a couple of things to check out on your lunch break:
This Op-Ed piece by Frank Rich is all you need to read if you're at all curious/looking for the final word about/regarding the above-mentioned Islamic Cultural Center that is set to be built on the sacred ground that is a former Burlington Coat Factory. I'm a (real) New Yorker, so people from "other places" using 9/11 for their political gain is nothing new to me, but it's particularly odious this time. Rich sets the record straight, I hope, but doubt, for the last time.
And there's this Flickr set by photographer Mike Adams. His subject?
Mike Tyson's abandoned Southington, Ohio mansion. Insanely interesting. Insanely creepy. Totally worth a look.
That's all for now.
