Fragano #149: That makes sense. I've walked across the GW Bridge a time or two; it's a nice stroll from Fort Lee to Manhattan.
Well, these days, sure. It's not clotted up with zombies, anymore, since they all put on silk scarves and goggles, and climbed into those zeppelins.
And certainly, once the trolls started using EZ Pass, that sped things up for everyone as well.
@ Fragano Ledgister, #130: I suppose that depends on whether they were trying to come in above or below the George Washington Bridge.
And to their delight, it works; the revenants feast on poetry, puns and politics in full measure. They brighten up again, shamble less, move to New Jersey.
A friend of mine from college who grew up in the Bronx told us that he used to watch zombie movies with his father and younger brother when he a kid. At night, when the two children got scared that the zombies were going to get them, their father explained that they were safe, because zombies all live in New Jersey, and can't get to New York, because they can't afford the tolls.

It is Boston. Lucky you didn't have any exposed wiring or printed circuit boards showing in your car. They'd have shut down the city for ten blocks around and charged you with a bomb hoax.
Also, hi, nice to meet you, sort of, though I didn't know I was meeting you at the time. I was the guy in the black suit behind the desk. ("Certainly! Coat room's over here, and then you're going to be in the Library, which is across the way, and to the right.")
I would just like to state, as a person who works a service job that caters to the reasonably affluent, that I cherish the phrase "wunch of bankers."
Also, let #63 be the epitaph for my heart.
Marketing. High end: makes you grateful for the privilege of being allowed to throw money at the object of adoration. Low end: vile and annoying spam.
I am a marketer, you are a salesman, he is a propagandist?
