Anecdotal Recovery
Yesterday in downtown Manhattan, my husband and I were talking about how much busier the streets feel these days -- more cars, more tourists, and even more New Yorkers out on the streets. We were talking about whether it could be an early sign the recovery is starting. Then what do you know, today's New York Times takes on the same issue as it relates to heavier traffic in Manhattan.

Conversely, I'm still seeing a lot of new vacancies at places where I used to shop once in awhile. The latest is a wine shop with mediocre service in our neighborhood.
