If I were single and ready to mingle in NYC I would make a beeline for a repointing company owner.
Every block in Manhattan has scaffolding up for months on end which often bleeds into years.
Repointing is the process of renewing the pointing which is the external part of mortar joints in masonry construction.
Over time, weathering and decay cause voids in the joints, usually in bricks, allowing the undesirable entrance of water.
Nowadays, almost every NYC co-op and condo board knows about Local Law 11 inspections originally enacted to make building facades safe and to protect pedestrians below.
The present day reality is to stuff the city’s coffers.
Under that law, the facades of buildings of more than six stories have to be inspected every five years by a licensed engineer or architect and certified as safe….such an ingenious, profitable political scam.
Mothers used to gently prod their children toward setting their relationship sights on doctors and lawyers.
Those words will cease to be part of the maternal vernacular.
In fact, I am contemplating a matchmaking business, putting my publicity and special events skills to good use.
Repointing mixers could be the next highly successful wave of dating options, eliminating the virtual and diving deep into the actual.
Talk about a pointed approached… the 21st century relationship reality is you got to follow the money, honey.
