Just back from my trip to see my daughter in Brooklyn and lucky me some guy sold me a bridge he didn't want anymore. I have several years of payments, but it is all mine.

I had a great time. Saw a lot of stuff, Ellis Island, the Lady, Empire State Building (It was worth the long wait to see all of the lights. Next time I take the express.), Little Italy, China town, Times Square, Central Park, jazz clubs, Washington Square, Yankee Stadium--the Twins won, subways,Harlem and much more. Great food. Hot. Dirty. Smelly. Fun. Exciting.

Thanks for all of the tips everyone.

Can't wait to go back.

A bridge?
Like a bridge over a river? Is it a toll bridge?

Dude, if you didn't get a complimentary troll underneath the bridge, you're getting ripped off. If you really want to keep it, I suggest you kidnap a few NS trolls from General.

Yeah. We have plenty. Nobody would even notice if a few went 'missing'.

Easy to tell you aren't from the states. An old joke here is that people try to sell the Brooklyn bridge to rubes from the sticks.
By the way New York was full of people from many countries. While waiting in line to see the Lady and Ellis Island i heard very little English being spoken. Many people from South America and Europe were visiting the city.

Where would I put them. I know. I can cut a hole in the ice up here and drop them in it. Should keep them nice and cool.

Oh. And I thought we'd have an entrepreneur in our midst...
