Froufrou Fifth Avenue resembles a police state.
Officers wielding gigantic guns guard Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump conducts all transition business, and soon lots of presidential business, too. Shoppers patronizing the stores, cafes or public gardens inside must endure layers of security screening. Streets and sidewalks are barricaded; traffic is snarled; and costumed buskers milk money from the looky-loos obstructing the entrances to Gucci and Tiffany.
The challenges of securing this 58-story building in a high-density neighborhood will, by Inauguration Day alone, drain $35 million of local taxpayer money. Who knows the additional costs to commerce and property values?

They got the “gigantic guns” from the final scenes of the first Men In Black movie! Only WaPo’s Fake News Bureau could come up with that descriptor. Gigantic guns indeed!!
Is that like, a canon?
“$35 million of local taxpayer money.”....
Hitlary steals more than that in a week. No big deal. If the “gubmint” wants to confiscate any monies, go after the illegal Clinton Foundation. That should pay for a lot of guards at Trump Towers.
I like the guard in yellow.
trump should pull the post’s wh credentials. When they added 20+ investigative reports to get him and none for Hillary, they forfeited their status as “press.”
Mine certainly doesn’t look like that either.

Don’t you just love it when the leftist shills drink their own bilge?
I have just read the article, thank you. I don’t even know where to start about it.
Maybe if the left actually looked at themselves , then they would see how their aging 60’s throw backs are losing them power by going too far left.
I’m sending an email to her, but I am trying to think of all the points I want to make to her.
I would discuss guns, headbands, and breasts with her.
The tour and finding a few of the great pizza places that I have read about are the only reasons I have to visit NYC.
Does the author of this piece really want to have Mayor DeBlasio pick a fight with the President of the United States? This is literally a case of “you and what Army”

So did they lay the railroad tracks down the middle of Fifth Avenue, too? ;-)
Yuge, I tellya. Yuge.
Watch out for them ‘gigantic guns’ - no doubt each officer is packing a bazooka in case of attack by Hitler’s panzers.
If it were the a##clown and his family it would be perfectly ok
"What's wrong with big 'uns?"
Be careful!
You could put an eye out with those!
