If you went outside the past couple of days, it was probably to run an errand or two or go to work, and you surely carried an umbrella. But how did you carry it? Because, it has come to the attention of The Village Voice Blog, that just as there are many types of bad pedestrians, there are also some really awful umbrella carriers out there who are breaking the laws of etiquette and man. These people could poke an eye out, or somebody else’s eye out, and that would be bad. Click through to read the definitive Runnin’ Scared Umbrella Users Guide. Please, share with your friends, for the good of all. (via The Village Voice Blog)

“April Showers Bring May Flowers” is the saying, but it’s hard to think of the benefits when you’re sloshing through the rainy streets. We try to avoid the rain at all costs. However, in an urban setting there is a certain atmosphere and mood that lends itself to all kinds of interesting possibilities. It’s a great equalizer and injects a different energy to the city. Artist Max Moran seeks to explore this time in the city with his new exhibit April Rains at the 4 North Main Gallery.
