I went to the wharf last month to see about grabbing a bowl of cioppino

parked in front of Alioto’swith Boudin bread and The Crab Shack.

Nothing was open but, rolled down the window of my car.

Eerie.

Quiet and there were No aromas of crab boil or sourdough bread.

There was the scent of and sound of bay and nothing else ???

I had to leave.

I did not find it charming, interesting or anything else.

The atmosphere felt dead and I wanted nothing to do with it.

Hudson Yards ... lays all but abandoned

Actually, it LIES all but abandoned. "Lay" is a transitive verb or the past simple of "lie."

You have to experience it.

It is uncomfortable...

Last week I drove across the Golden Gate Bridge at 10:30am

I estimated the closest car in front of me was 1/3 of a mile away.

I don’t think that would happen on any day, unless it was 3 in the morning

They should use this time to film some dystopic future scenes for a movie.

Dystopic future? Hell, why not make it a documentary and show the dystopic PRESENT? You could call it "Liberal Success Stories."

Here's an short interesting very elaborate and expensive pre-construction sales promo narrated by what appears to be a Morlock princess. Alles ist wunderbar!

https://youtu.be/stuzUqQW0cE

This supremely ugly creature touts custom apartments from a budget price of 2.4 million to 33 million.

She mentions the decline in Manhattan real estate sales and price in October of 2016 which she attributes to the rich and fabulous just waiting for Hudson Yards to be built....LOL!

Hmmm, that mall looks like a likely place for the next BLM “mostly peaceful protest”.

Hey thanks for the “You may want to eat some spinach for strength and some carrots for your eyesight” warning, before I gazed upon this contract salesperson with no soul or passion and maybe a drug problem...

I realize that winning New York State is a long shot for POTUS, Donald J. Trump...but....I really hope, pray and wish that “TRUMPIE” has a couple or more campaign rallies in Staten Island, Long Island and Upstate New York!!! Do It, Trump...it will be worth the effort!!!

Anyway...Trump campaign rally/protest this evening, (9/18/2020) in Bemidji, Minnesota at the Bemidji Aviation Services Hangar/Ramp, commencing at 6:00 PM (CDT). Be there by the tens of thousands. Do it!!!

Go, Trump, Go, Pence, Go,GOP!!!

“Luxury retailers” were advertising mink coats in the middle of WWII!

................
Yeah, have to wonder about that...Wonder who knowing her decided she was the ultimate “sign ‘em & close the deal” magnet.

Only thing I could come up with is the “marketing” is directed towards sugar daddies providing for their babe du jour and developers didn’t want the usual normal looking saleswoman upstaging them....could be someones mother ?
