I had to rush back to office for a 1PM conference call. Hopefully they won't hear me typing this out!
It is already BEDLAM in this area! Huge crowds gathering. Police putting up barricades everywhere from 5th Ave (where Trump Tower is) to the Midtown Hilton.
Dozens of news trucks gathering around the hotel. Get this, there are HUGE CEMENT TRUCKS ringing the Trump Tower right now. Either the NYPD received a credible threat or this is SOP for the residence of a possible President-Elect. Not sure.
I will upload pictures and video links on this thread when I get the time. Also, I plan to walk over there again later this afternoon.
Very nice warm autumn day here in Manhattan. Temp is in early 60s.
Just to add, the ENTIRE BLOCK surrounding Trump Tower has barricades thrown up. Only people who have business at Trump Tower are being given access. For now, traffic is moving normally up and down 5th Avenue.
Sam, they had those same huge cement trucks all around The Waldorf for the Al Smith Dinner. The only time I ever saw something similar was for the Pope’s visit last year.
Sam...that is exactly what they did, surrounding Trump hotel, for the Thanksgiving Day parade!! We saw concrete trucks surrounding the hotel...from every avenue!!
Thanks for the updates!! The excitement is building!!!!
Thanks for the eye witness report.
Thanks for report Sam... I was wondering why DJT chose the Midtown Hilton for his party. Is that the closest nice hotel to Trump Tower? I have no familiarity with the city
