Was Albee Bockman on the scene?
This is perhaps not directly related but I was in Monsey recently and the middos of drivers was horrible. Pushy, honking, parking badly, entitled. The pedestrians were also dressed in black and there were no sidewalks. I was very happy to return to Canada after that experience where there is some civility, street lights, and some people believe in reflectors. I acknowledge I’m exaggerating and whining.
“Pushy, honking, parking badly, entitled.”
