Maybe Paulie should hang around the movie trailers at the old courthouse for when they start filming Bruce Willis' movie? That way he can pitch a script for the movie "Attack of the Pajama People" (or is it Jahn that coined that term???)

B of A in Mechanics Tower. At the same time they do have another location on Main Street, but it does give some indication as to how they feel about the prospects for City Square.

Paulie has a copyright on Pajama People....his term not mine..........I just borrow it on occasion

Manager says city budget was "a fine balancing act"......so I was wrong months ago when i said the '09 budget was going to be troublesome/problematic

But the city books are still cooked to the tune of hundreds of millions re pensions and health ins. obligations due to current & future retirees. This "off the city books" handling of pensions is analogous to me removing my mortgage from my personal finances and then saying claiming it's basically just a current & future obligation that I do not include as part of my personal financial picture.
