Orangecup: A Skinny Snack for Parkies
Orangecup is the new hip snack for chic shoppers occupying the prime real estate in Northpark Mall between Neimans and Barney’s.

The Sparkling Alley in Highland Park
This diligent street cleaner had all rotating devices in action at lunch time today and was focusing on the alley south of Potomac. A half block further south is a major construction zone so, guys, I’m thinking it’s gonna get dirty again super fast.
Questions:
- Why?
- Who pays for it?
