Why? Because multi-generational, pan-ethnic, creative-spontaneous happenings are only a serendipitous second away.

Omigosh, they did it again. Citibank was nice to me: or, to be more specific, my local branch. Sometimes you don’t know the right questions to ask. That’s where pro-active, nice people come in.
