4.1/5 (with 4 votes)
Mean cabbies, arty subway stations, interstellar tourism and spacey bus drivers can get Fran going. Then Leonardo DiCaprio offered her an e-cigarette.
#4 | 01/08/2021Board of Estimate
4.0/5 (with 3 votes)
It's a living: Fran hates money but loves things, so she must work — though she prefers to read. Winning the lottery may be her only other option.
#5 | 01/08/2021Department of Sports & Health
4.0/5 (with 3 votes)
Knowing that some are annoyed that she's still alive, Fran understands that smoking is bad for you. "Wellness" and sports sound even worse to her.
#6 | 01/08/2021Hall of Records
3.9/5 (with 4 votes)
Fran's all about fun — guilty pleasures, not so much. Just give her a party, a movie, a small child or a luminous Cary Grant. You can keep technology.
#7 | 01/08/2021Library Services
4.2/5 (with 2 votes)
Books opened up the world to young Fran. Today, she can't throw a volume away — but she will trash the writer of a glowing blurb for a lousy tome.
