I spotted this on Tenth Avenue in Chelsea today. Actually, if I had done a 9/11 post, it would have been to mention that I worry about how many people I see wearing flip flops these days. I was at Grand Central at rush hour a few days ago, and easily half the women I saw were wearing them. You can't run in those in an emergency!
I agree about the flip flops, as they are loud and useless in emergencies. What would happen to people if killer clowns were chasing them?
I'll be WAY ahead of them, running fast in my sneakers, that's what would happen.
