There is copy center in my neighborhood. I pass it nearly every day and enter it about four times a year – for holiday cards and faxes. Recently, I noticed a change in the sandwich board sign that sits in front of the building. The sign, which employs those slide-in plastic letters that make it difficult to correct a mis-spelling, now reads: “UPS AND FED-EX SHIPMENTS UNTIL 4:30 EVERY DAY”. And just below that, a new notice: “FROG FEEDINGS 3:30PM TUE. THUR.” And that is the difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
