Half mast means one flag width down from the top of the mast so technically it was at half mast in the first photo. Sorry to have to point it out, Arch Hey all,

Just take my word for it, it is at half mast now. Still, again today. And they aren't flying the McDonald's flag at all, out of some odd kind of respect, I suppose. Taco Hell is the same establishment as KFC -- go figure -- so it didn't merit separate mention. When I do go there, it's always for the chicken, never for the Taco Bell stuff. Erika,

what a fricken name — cantalope?

as far as the view goes, the train and the projects are a heck of a lot cooler things to look at than the fast food nation on w. 125th street. you and adi are lucky people to have a view that unobstructed…..

As for temptation, it's not been a big issue. In the almost three years we've been in this apartment, I've eaten at McD's maybe 4 times, and almost all salads. I did go through a KFC phase for a while, but I've gotten that mostly out of my system. Subway is also across the street in another direction, but so far I haven't eaten there (opened about a year ago). Thankfully, the nearest White Castle is a half mile or more away, otherwise I might have more of a problem with that. As it is, I've made late-night pilgrimages more often than I've been the the McD's. Can't tell you why. The TV ads just work on me more effectively ("What you crave").

Anyway, you must have either gained some powerful self control having all those fast food joints right outside your window. Either that, or the daily view of those places has so turned your stomach that you are sickened by the thought of fast food. Other than that....nice view...and convenient with the subway right there.
