Quoted from beelzeboob:

I can't believe I just paid $90 for a steak last night.

At least it's free next weekend!

Quoted from kaneda:

I'm not low income, but I am even wondering why the need to even own a pin. I say this because there are so many bars on location now with pinball and I can go out, get my fix for $20 and then not have to deal with any headaches later on.

Maybe where you live, but there aren't as many in the wild as you'd think

Quoted from kaneda:

It's why city prices are so high. People pay more because they are closer to more.

I've lived in NYC, and a couple of cities with just as much, just as close, for much less money.

I never understood the allure of NYC. Yeah, I'll pay a 50% premium on EVERYTHING to walk around smelling garbage and piss all day

Quoted from kaneda:

In most cities in America, kitchen is closed at 10pm...in NYC the fun is just beginning then.

In buffalo, you usually don't even go to the bar until 2am
