Useful uselessness
…so I’m going up Canal St. this morning about 9 and I get to the Carrollton intersection. I look to my right, at the gutted Robert Fresh Market, and there’s a semi-trailer sitting in the parking lot with the doors open and a table set up on the parking lot. On the table are dozens of brand-new Yellow Pages phone books, apparently there for the taking. Or for someone to hand out, I dunno.
1) This is MID-CITY — no one lives there for now. Who’s going to come get these things?
2) What percentage of the listed businesses even open?
Actually, I’m sure lots of folks would love to have a Yellow Pages or a white pages right now, since they lost theirs in the flood.
It just struck me as odd.
