FYE: No Kids Under 18 Allowed Until After 4 P.M.  The bus-eating
abominable snowmen that commandeered I-95 early yesterday
morning flummoxed our plans to return to New York on the
Chinatown bus. As we wandered through Union Station assuring our
mother that we would take Amtrak, we came across this
magnificent sign in the music store FYE telling kids under
18—presumably a key demographic—to keep away until 4 p.m. As our
friend took a picture, a surly FYE employee sternly warned that
we were breaking the law.  http://consumermediallc.files.wordpre

is not illegal, but FYE—like any private store—can always ask
anyone to leave. We said we deleted the pictures (whoops!), but
that false friendly gesture wasn’t enough to get an explanation
for the sign. You know FYE employees, the menacing youths might
leave you alone if you were nicer. Something to consider.
Regardless, thanks for the sign. It made our day.  (Photo:
