That is a lot
Has NYC cut the sanitation budget too?
Yesterday, in the Boston area, it was 62 degrees.
Ya the ground just has to be below or near freezing. It melts the snow quickly
It snowed in Hialeah once, January 19, 1977đ
And very yellow.
Not just from cats and dogs.
Perhaps now but itâs too bad you couldnât have experienced it back in the 50âs and 60âs. If what the extra-terrestrial experts tell us, that we are probably the only intelligent life in the cosmos, then New York City truly was the Center of the Universe. It was certainly the banking, fine dining, publishing, artistic, entertainment and educational capitol of earth. Sports, movies, live theater, museums...there wasnât a city in the world which could surpass it in all fields as the Big Apple did. Investing talent, retail giants, and perhaps the best part were the deliâs and bookstores along with the certainty that no matter which hole-in-the-wall pizza joint youâd stop in for lunch, youâd be getting a superior slice than anywhere else in the country. I think it was John Lindsayâs election in â64 that marked the beginning of the decline but even when I went to college in Brooklyn Heights from 1968 to 1972, it was still the most fascinating urban wonderland imaginable.
One of my fondest memories of a New York snowfall is slowly walking up the cobble-stoned sidewalk on the eastern side of Central Park, headed up to my then favorite place in the city, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was the morning, I had the day off and that meant I could spend the entire day visiting all of my âfriendsâ hanging on the walls of its galleries. The snow gently falling as I made my way north seemed to quiet and beautify the normal hustle of the last part of the morningâs rush hour. I can still recall feeling privileged to be at that spot, in that time, and thinking that, at least for me, there just couldnât be a better example of the best that civilization could have produced. But - all good things must come to an end...
“... I went to college in Brooklyn Heights from 1968 to 1972, it was still the most fascinating urban wonderland imaginable.”
I have no doubt that it was once an amazing place. It seems that NYC is simply a representation of our country as a whole. Once vibrant, resourceful, independent and adaptive. Now it is bitter, divided, ignorant, and declining.
But that sounds racist!
“But that sounds racist!”
I am white, therefore, everything I think, say or do is racist.
We have about 3 feet of a *nothingburger* sitting all over our property.
And it’s still coming down.
