well said.

oftentimes i read something that i might want to make into a print later (going along with my budding interest in letterpress). so im starting a section called "well said" where i store these quotes or passages. this is one of those, taken from an article on renaming streets in NYC:

"But in 1903, a city councilman told The New York Times that a proposal to rename the Bowery...had gone nowhere because soldiers and sailors would get lost looking for the famous party zone. 'The efficiency of the Army and Navy will be impaired,' the councilman lamented. 'Change the flag of the country, but don’t change the name of the Bowery.' "

as an east village resident, i must agree.
