Gorgeous. Looks like a ghost town.
I can't imagine your employer is going to be renewing their lease at that location. Paying top dollar for Manhattan office space and then having it open at 25% of its capacity after 4-5 months of a lockdown is ludicrous.
Just my two pesos here ...
I think eventually the whole face mask thing will just go away and everybody will pretend it was never such a big thing to begin with.
Wish I had taken some more pictures of my day today.
Many other corporations have the same mindset. Having a footprint in NYC and other "elite" cities tells the world you are a player.
We'll see how that stands up over time now that the world has changed.
Lonely, lonely sits the city
that once was full of people.
I’m not sure our civil society is ever going to come back. If any Freeper had ever been in Grand Central Station before this insane Marxist disease panic, you would know that you really couldn’t have seen more than a few feet in front of you because of all the people rushing to and from trains, heading for work or for dinner, or even just passing through and talking and looking around. Busy, busy, talking, talking. I loved it.
They used to have dances here in Grand Central under Giuliani and you could dance or stand on one of the balconies at the side, get a drink and watch everybody dressed up and dancing (waltzes, fox trots, etc. - just old traditional dances, not twerking).
Now we have an empty space with silent, masked people. How the heck did this happen? And so fast?
In any case, thanks for the report. Family members who still live there have told me much the same . If you go to Soho or parts of Fifth Ave. it’s all smashed and boarded up, but they appear not to have messed with Midtown that much.
That is one weird photo...
I will never forget the evening of March 13, when I left my office and entered a nearly empty Grand Central. That was when I first realized how things were about to change. Little did I know that it would be over three months before I would see Grand Central again - and it would be just as empty, if not emptier.
Columbus Circle is where the Trump International and Jon George are located.
Blocks away from Trump Tower and at the opposite end of the park
Now that is an even weirder photo @ 8:15am
Never seen that before and never saw people looking like they worked at a morgue..
P.T. Barnums hometown.
That would be Bethel, CT
But that makes the Maoists at Rat Party Headquarters very happy indeed...bring the economy to its knees...bring us back not to 1933 but to 1833!
I am somewhat shocked to read your good report. I watched NYC rioting for days and have been thinking its in a bad state. Do you have info about the encampment at City Hall?
