Thank you for saying a few good words about city with a lot of history and charm if you look in the right places.

I toured the biggest data center in NYC a few years back. It’s on Hudson Street, near the Brooklyn Bridge. The building is the old Western Union building built when only telegraph existed. Girls wearing rollerskates used to skate from one side of the building to the other to deliver paper messages to be telegraphed.

Fascinating buildings everywhere. It will certainly come back once real leadership returns. I wouldn’t care to live there, but it’s a fascinating place to visit.
