Corlear's Hook:

Fascinating article on how Corlear’s Hook gave way to the term ‘hooker’ and how where I live was Corlear’s Hook, where hookers roamed. The heavily religious in my neighborhood might bug out if they knew this information.

I just signed up for LearnVest.com today after viewing this video/article on what to carry in your wallet (I’m very guilty of my wallet bulking up with a variety of things, often times receipts and foreign currency), and the girl delving out info was totally cute and relateable. So I did some research on the site, and it turns out this site was started by this chick, Alexa Von Tobel, as a way to help young women gain control over their finances. LOVE IT!!! I’ve already started using some of the tools offered on the LearnVest site, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Check out this article and another cute video from Alexa talking about LearnVest.com

- “Is the F train not running again? F*CKKKKKK!!!”
- “Ugh. It’s raining”
- “Ugh. It’s snowing”
- “Ugh. It’s fucking freezing.”
- “What’s that stench?”
- “They’re not from here. You can tell by their outfit.”
- “I dont’ go above 14th street…..on the weekends.”
