$300,000,000 sounds preposterously high. Insanity. |
$300M for replacing that bridge? How?
$30M ought to get you a titanium version. |
That's what I'd like to know. It's absurd. No wonder NYC can't build anything.

And yeah, I did have a slight look of confusion on my face, but certainly not because I was looking to go to the Statue. There was a brief squall that forced everyone indoors, and I was looking for the elevator and places to sit to eat our lunch. But seriously, fuck some of those hawkers. After I told one of them "we don't need your help, thank you", he started laying on some ethnic slurs at us. Great business model, asshole. I really should have taken his name and his company down to either report him to the company, or if he refused to give me his name, give a bad Google review of the company. Also, the same guy got into a fight with some other hawkers because apparently not even the other hawkers like him. |
^ oh geez i am sorry to hear that. the only thing worse than the pushy hawkers and the lunatics are the pushy lunatics.
the nypd does sweep through there occassionaly and run them out, but they always come back. ugh. and yes we do have makerpark nearby in stapleton. its great and they have fun events. wfmu gets all the non profit alternative radio buzz, but makerpark radio is also terrific (as is the lot radio in w’burg). https://makerparkradio.nyc/ |
