OK, 39th Street corridor, we need cookies on a string

You’ve just stopped into Gilhouly’s, the neighborhood bar across from d’Bronx on 39th Street. And, as can happen at a place like that, the pledge to drink just one beer has been left behind at least two beers ago. You flip open your cell phone, and it’s then that you notice a string hanging from an apartment window. A small hand-lettered sign is attached to the string. It says, “$1 for a fresh baked cookie. Pull the string if you wish to partake.”

Right now, this will happen only in your imagination. But I want to believe that one resident on 39th Street can be inspired by a “cookie on a string” operation that is currently taking its flavor to the streets in San Francisco.
