Pam, I for one have definitely appreciated seeing your updates. I lived in NYC many years ago, back when some of the big financial firms were still located in lower Manhattan, and while I know the neighborhood has changed, your posts are the only place where I've seen anyone talk about the impact of OWS on local businesses and the farmers' market.

As a sidenote I've been fascinated by not only the duration of this protest but the social organization of it that has been reported. It will be interesting to see if anything constructive comes out of it.
