There is a lot of garbage on CL, but if you know how to sift through it, you can find a lot of good stuff. I found my current job on CL!
Not everybody have a street smarts, patience and a tough skin to deal with a smelly part of it though. If you want a cheap fish and prepare to hassle for it , you go to the Fish Market. If you want no problems, you go to Dean & Deluca, and you pay for it.
