I work a few blocks away from the Trump Tower and all this week I've been walking by it. Since Tuesday, it's been an absolute zoo around that area. 56th Street between Madison and Park is completely shut down to through traffic. Concrete barriers are going up all around the tower. Huge dump trucks full of sand block the front entrance of it. Massive police presence with some of them in battle fatigues with machine guns. A no-fly zone has been established over all of Manhattan!

On the upside, our President Elect is well-protected! On the downside, I can understand the residents and businesses in the area being uneasy about the whole thing.

I'm thinking things will settle down a bit once Trump moves to Washington full-time.

Thanks for your report.

It is sick that these protestors can cause so much disruption.

...all of Manhattan? Well, no. Here's the actual Temporary Flight Restriction to which he's referring:

I’m thinking it will stop with the first “wintery mix” or snow. What’s the weather been there this week? No rain, no well below freezing temperatures, people are willing to be out.

(Madison and 5th)”

Thanks for the on-the-scene report!

What have you heard thru the grapevine on whether residents want to move from there?
