The Civil Service Bookshop at 89 Worth Street in Lower Manhattan has an old yellow sign that says “Civil Service Test Books” and “Latest Paperbacks.” So what’s the deal, I needled the owner, Roslyn Rosenfeld, you need the test books to get the job, and then the paperbacks to read, on the job? “Don’t be a wise guy, I’ve had a hard day,” Ms. Rosenfeld snapped on Wednesday. “I’m really not in the mood.” – COREY KILGANNONNY TIMES – She Sells the Books on the Civil Service – February 5, 2009,

Reportedly built in 1910, 45 Canal Street is now in its centennial year. And as evidenced by the engraved stone in the brickwork, the building was once the “E&G Model Shop,” a seemingly forgotten business about which little seems to be written (anyone know?).  Later in life, the address became home to Kunst Electrical Appliances on the ground level. – Broadway Boogie dot com

In zoological anatomy, a cloaca is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts of certain animal species. All birds, reptiles, and amphibians possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces, unlike placental mammals, which possess two (or three) separate orifices for evacuation.
