In today's show, host Lee Uehara shares a tip from neighbor Leah that Flying Tiger on Columbus Avenue is closing - but wait! There's more: the 30+ employees who are losing their jobs are looking for work. So if you need to hire someone, please visit the store to check out some candidates. The store is closing in early November.
Then, Lee got a chance to talk the first female painter in the Parks department. Linda Kane spoke with Lee informally about the painting of Tecumseh playground this week. The color of the structures is Benjamin Moore's Stonehouse, by the way.
Today's sponsor: Core Zone Pilates at 53 W. 72nd St, between Columbus and Central Park West. "One lesson at a time in a gorgeous, sun-filled studio."
