“’The whole idea of a signboard is to get people to stop, without being overtly crass,’ said Brian Peck, manager of the Meatball Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, whose own sign read ‘Spring For Our Balls’ on Wednesday.”

We walk about the streets of this city rubbing shoulders with ghosts, and sometimes they are raised up and flicker in front our eyes, wailing “Remember me,” before they are condemned to disappear once again. Then the giant glass towers and frozen yogurt shops move in.

Good news! The stolen Auschwitz sign has been recovered! “Police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo told The Associated Press that the sign was found in northern Poland. She said police also detained five men aged between 25 and 39 who are being transported to Krakow for questioning.” It’s a Christmas miracle!
