 A NYC subway map that tells you what kind of people live near every station. Great if you’re thinking of moving, or just want to get a lay-of-the land. There’s also a link to a map with the best bars by every subway stop.

Wow, what a great set of ideas. Well done a very simple and concise post. I also loved the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, one of my favorite activist. Looking forward to learning more from reading your articles. Thank you for sharing this.
I think the map’s amazing but I wish I can enlarge it…
I personally think that having a baby, child or children ruins a marriage. I mean children cause disagreements between the husband and the wife. Well, it’s an issue I’ve observed with relatives.
Love your collection! I always thought the reasons for divorce were adultery, substance abuse, & physical violence. You gave me new learning! Thanks, Urbanette!
Fantastic NYC subway map 😉
Great discoveries!
Friendship like romantic relationship requires hard work and patience. I only have a limited number of friends but I’m sure that they are my friends for keep.
Oh yes! I’ve been asking this question… why people cheat! I love that article citing Genghis Khan. Indeed, relationship is a choice and decision that we have to make everyday, never ever think of it as an obligation!
“To achieve that intimacy and love, you have to sacrifice your own self-gratification at times.” I beg to disagree with you… It’s hard (and almost impossible) not consider a relationship as an obligation!
The moment you entertained a relationship, you want it to last, which can only be achieved if you learn to be responsible for each other’s happiness and fulfillment. Thus, it becomes an obligation…
I’d like to comment on article about things that end marriages. I have lots of friends who end up getting a divorce because of financial issues. I think “money” or economical problems should be included in the list.
How about my collection of gorgeous home wear? https://popcultureliving.com/tinsley-mortimer/
We just adopted a second cat. It’s kitten season, so maybe you can post something about the best places to look for kitten adoptions? (Older cats are great too, BTW)
That NYC subway map is awesome BTW!
