They've evacuated couple of blocks...

Someone lit up a cigarette and in response, Mayor Mikey Bloomberg closed down several blocks so as to minimize the effects of the second hand smoke and Gov. R. Pataki dispatched the National Guard.

It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay....

There is something going on [in] the city.

Well, you know those New Yorkers - there's always SOMETHING going on...

The police have closed off 5th Ave between 41st & 42nd. I work on 42nd street and there are lots of police, ambulances and noise. One man told me it was a man with a bomb and another said it was three men. I finally asked a police officer and he said it was just a bomb scare. Still very noisy and confused.

Probably some smokers in a bar.
Or someone dancing in a bar without a "cabaret license". Or perhaps a beer can on a beach.

The only thing I know that is going on, is a wake for Councilman Davis.

They have him lying in state at City Hall (can you believe it?) and are expecting oodles & boodles of people.

The area between Grand Central and Rockefeller Center is perfectly normal.

"As usual" perhaps. But "normal?" ;-)

If the smoke Nazis don't make a big deal of it how can they further vilify the evil of smokers. Stone the smokers! Stone the smokers!

Probably just Bloomberg testing out his Mayoral powers again, just for the hell of it, or to impress some friend of his.

There are 8,000,000 stories in the Naked City - this has been one of them.

Maybe that's where they intend to put the new gay high school.

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway. They say there's always magic in the air.

Interesting, laying in state in the building where you were murdered.
