As they say, When in Rome do as Romans do. Meaning, that whenever you travel anywhere you must observe what the local protocol is and behave likewise.<\/p>\n
So….. whether you are from out of town or have lived here all your life there are a few things you can do to make it easier for you and everyone else. <\/p>\n
When you are driving northbound on Broadway and you come to the intersection of Broadway and Caroline keep in mind that there is no left turn light for those vehicles who are driving in southbound lane. Please do not block the intersection for those of us who are trying desperately to turn left on Caroline. Don’t pretend that you don’t know what I’m talking about and don’t pretend you don’t see me because I know that you do. The same rule applies for when those of us are trying to take a left on Spring Street at Broadway, just let me turn.<\/p>\n
Also, when you are filling up containers of water in the Saratoga State Park it is strictly first come first serve, so if the person in front of you has fifty empty containers and you only have two, it does not mean you can just jump in, you must ask politely if you can fill up your two containers or you simply must wait. That’s how it is. (People from New York City, please make a note of this.)<\/p>\n
Note to tourists regarding the various mineral waters springs scattered around our beautiful city: please don’t tell the locals that the water tastes fishy, rusty, rotten or otherwise disgusting; we know; that’s why you don’t see any locals queuing up to drink it! I must admit that I am absolutely delighted when I see the look of shock as you scrunch up your face when you realize how bad the stuff tastes. You are only creating endless hours of amusement for me not to mention endless writing material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
