Well, you've probably heard by now that some royal prick decided to set off a bomb in Times Square 'round 3 AM this morning. It damaged the military recruiting station there but fortunately hurt no one. Frankly I never understood why the military would set up a recruiting station in the middle of Times Square but hey, real estate is real estate. I don't know what point this bomber was trying to make but he failed to scare anyone or really screw up traffic. Still, I hope they catch him (I assume it's a dude) and dangle the slug from the Brooklyn Bridge with only dental floss around his ankles.
In other depressing news, it looks like Moynihan station is getting delayed yet again. Ya really gotta hand it to these New York State bureaucrats, they manage to make the Italian government look like a model of efficiency. I just saw the late great Senator's daughter on TV and she made the point that they built the Empire State Building in 13 months! As Henry Hill's father said in Goodfellas, "In months" (okay, technically a year and a month but this Moynihan station project has been going on for almost NINE YEARS). What's the hold-up? A disgrace.
But in happier city news, there are actually landlords in this city with a heart of gold who want to make it easier for artists to live here. Interesting article in today's Times: The Lords of Dumbo Make Room for the Arts, at Least for the Moment.
