1) Two CVS's (CVSes?) are about to open in our fair city, and I've noticed something strange about their signage: the word "pharmacy" is covered up.
Why is that? It's obviously some legal thing, but what exactly? Why does "pharmacy" have to be obscured, but "CVS" is OK? Is it to prevent Vicodin addicts from lining up outside before the store is even open?
2) Why are the waterwalls at the train station dry? To save money? They were one of the few pleasant aesthetic touches at an otherwise drab and unwelcoming facility.
3) Why is there a replica Mississippi River-style steamboat docked off of Canal Street?
4) Why did we get FOUR phone books the other day? Who still uses phone books?
5) What the heck does this banner at Prospect Market mean?
What are "New Jersey prices"?? Do you get a free bottle of self-tanner with every purchase?

1. They don't have their petmit from the state to operate a pharmacy at those locations yet.
2. Summer water restrictions required ornamental fountains to be turned off.
3. No clue.
4. Because companies are still dumb enough to buy ads in them. Only people without computers.
5. Don't know, but if a gas station had that sign up the line would be down the street.
Walgreens on East Main had the same "Pharmacy" mask while under construction and before it opened. I always assumed it was because of addicts trying to break in.
Re: NJ Prices, I don't know what it means, but I want some.
My husband and I have been puzzling over the "New Jersey Prices" banner for weeks.
The steamboat looks like the one that used to docked in Greenwich on Steamboat Road by what was then the Steamboat Inn. Think it's now the Greenwich Harbor Inn.
NJ prices for Indian groceries are among the lowest around (or have the reputation of being the lowest).
Hmm...I'm going to have to investigate these "New Jersey prices" and report back.
I just heard about a concert on the Annabel Lee.
Really? That would be fun. The Annabel Lee was (is?) based in Richmond, VA, but I don't know why it's docked here in Stamford. Here are two links I found about it:

It's also for sale! (Or was at some point.)
