Not by me it hasn¹t. One used to be able get a dozen eggs or emergency paper towels, cat food or something as recently as five years ago. Sam¹s never closed before 6 PM. It was always open before 8 AM. Now one never knows when it¹s open. On 1/25/08 8:35 PM, SKnight [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

The regular pick-up day for the Friday route during a week with a holiday is definitely Saturday. I used to run into this all the time (and others do now) while working at the Partnership recycling site. Applauds to Andy Frischkoff for his comments. City workers (I'm one) are people, too!

Seems this is a bad period for losing cats. Just saw a medium sized, meowing cat by the tattoo parlor at 43rd and Pine. Looked lost and anxious. Very unusual coloring pattern; mixture of thin patches of black and medium brown. I was rushing to an appointment, but the cat tried to follow me

The selection of popsicles was definitely better back in the 70s when Sam owned it. They also had candy cigarettes and pixies sticks. It started getting a little too upscale when Jeff and Joel owned it. I don't know why they stopped selling Wacky Packs. -Lew On Jan 26, 2008, at 12:17 PM,

Yes, I quite remember when Sam¹s was like that. Even in the 36² snowstorm of Œ96, they were open, had fresh bagels, groceries and took MAC cards. It was a lifesaver especially since most of the city was shut down for nearly a week. On 1/26/08 12:17 PM, SKnight [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's

Well, that's a lot of words which still ends up sounding like you don't want trash collectors to get time and a half to work on Saturday.? Overtime pay really doesn't have anything to do with pensions and health care. Paul -Original Message- From: Dave Axler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
