"But Irish-American business owners, officials at the city’s construction unions and workers at advocacy centers that cater to Irish immigrants say they have seen a sharp increase in the number of new arrivals seeking jobs and other help. Landlords in heavily Irish neighborhoods report that applications for rental apartments have jumped this year, and Irish pubs and restaurants seem busier than they were a few months ago. "

Yay! Except these are poor carpenters who rent. Whoops.

but I don't think they're buying in new jersey, so alpine is out of luck.

Once a girl asked me "Do these pants make me look fat??" and I replied "Where are the other two tenors?"

Sorry if that last post distracted from my usual theme: As Shakespeare (should have) said, "First thing we do, let's kill all the realtors..."
