••• Because of the winter light, I could only take a somewhat pretty photo of the new Citibank at W. Broadway and Duane, which is a shame, because what’s happened to the building is disappointing at best. The dropped ceiling, the disposable bank furniture on prime display, the southern window being devoted to someone’s office….

••• I clicked on my first Facebook ad today. The pug is a ploy to get peo0ple’s attention, I guess. Where would they get such an idea? (Although maybe it’s less desperate than the tattooed face above it. Facebook can be such a dump.)

••• I went to the CB1 FiDi meeting last night, hoping to learn about the fitness permit being renewed at “110/120 Church,” but I got had to leave before it came up. I did learn that the 9/11 Memorial is planning a Family Day on Vesey on Sunday, Apr. 21, with a 5K run. Also, the Bill’s Bar & Burger coming to the Marriott at 85 West wanted a 4 a.m. closing (which CB1 is unlikely to do). Two amusing parts: Bill’s said it may occasionally have a DJ for events such as weddings (!), and when the committee’s resistance to 4 a.m. became clear, one rep from the restaurant said they need to stay open late for travelers from abroad who arrive late at night and need something to eat.

••• Also: I’m pretty sure the fitness permit for 25 Broadway is for a Planet Fitness.

••• Spoon! Spoon! Spoon!
