    I agree - I actively like my local grocery and wine shop. I actively dislike, and feel very little sympathy for, cabs. Especially cabs outside of New York City, cabbies in Upstate New York are the fucking worst.

    A lot of suburbs shouldn't exist, and aren't willing to pay to take of even the basics. It's a ticking time bomb.
