What a Horrible Week!

Normally I like to keep Mr NYC upbeat blog but, since this last week has probably been the worst in New York's history since 9/11, it would be remiss of me to ignore its tragic events (not that much can come close to matching 9/11, thank God).

The resignation of our governor in an embarrassing scandal and now this horrific crane collapse on the East Side yesterday has created a palpable "Can it get worse?" feeling around town. If you haven't heard about this terrible accident, a 15-story crane at some construction site at 50th street and 2nd avenue cracked apart and fell to the ground. One part buckled against a high-rise building and another part smashed a four story building into oblivion. Four people are tragically dead and my heart goes out to their families. Let's hope the city never lets anything like this happen again. And of course, as mentioned earlier, we wish Mr Spitzer and his family the best.

PS. The 4-story building destroyed by this crane housed a watering hole called Fubar, where my beloved and I had our first date. Sad.
