England Edition
Cheerio and pip pip and all that! This edition of the newsletter is being crafted over in jolly old England, as we are on vacation this week.  We find it quite salubrious indeed to write the newsletter while having a pint in the pub! Now, off to have a spot of tea and catch up on the cricket.

(Waiting) On The 7…
We’ve been waiting and waiting, and it’s been pushed back and pushed back, but it looks like the 7 subway line extension is finally going to happen. Originally scheduled to launch in June 2014, the elusive beast seemed doomed to suffer the fate of the fabled 2nd Avenue subway (in the works since 1929). The official start is now slated for October 2015, with a stop just steps away from Breakaway World Headquarters. 

Stump the Band
Last month we asked what a “nail house” was. Answer: A “nail house” is a lone home that is holding out against a larger development. The term originated in China.
