Welcome to the Jewelry District, a podcast by J.C.K. brought to you by the De Beers Institute of Diamonds.

Hey, everyone, welcome to the jewelry district. This is Victoria Gimelsky, editor-in-chief of JCPay and and J-CK Online.com, calling in from Los Angeles.

And I'm with...

Rob Bates, news director of J-C-K and J-CKOnline.com, calling in from New York.

I'm okay, hanging in.

It's getting a little cold.

It's the day after Halloween. Did you guys go trick-or-treating? Yeah, but a little late. So it's very unique trick-or-treating in New York

because you go to people's apartments and businesses, right? Local deli will give you candy.

And so we did a little of that. Do you just like stay in your building or do

you go to neighboring buildings? My building is actually relatively small. But yes, the neighbors had

some and then you go to, you could probably just like go around a block and you get like more than

enough candy because all the businesses and you know, your neighbors and you'll be okay. In LA,

you drive probably, right?

You drive to everywhere?

No, no, not at all.

mob scene, and it's one of those neighborhoods, and I'll contrast it to where we went last
