Century 21 has reopened on Cortland. Oh baby
they haven't raked their forests lately.
I was hoping there might be a thread dedicated to this, the video and pics coming out are alarming to say the least.
School canceled in the city tomorrow. (Unofficially)get it together Canada

But the official NYC thread will work as well.
I've never seen smoke flow into areas like that, pretty creepy looking.
wow. we had a few days like that here in Washington a few years ago. I couldn't leave my house.
Two friends in the city are reporting this but I don’t see anything official yet. Don’t want to be “that guy.”School canceled in the city tomorrow. (Unofficially)get it together Canada

I've never seen anything like this before, and the smell is tough to take. The news has said it's the worst since the 80s, but even though I was a kid in the 80s I don't remember this kind of air quality. Had to wear a mask early afternoon when taking the dog out and going to get lunch and again a couple of hours ago for her evening walk.
Now imagine you live where the fires are actually happening.
Waaaaaaay worse than 9/11, which was localized south of the towers due to prevailing winds and pretty gorgeous sep days. I was in a zoom after lunch with my GC in philly... The empire state building is 18 blocks due north of my office and it looms over the buildings outside the window at my desk- I have a direct view of it. I literally lost sight of it around 3 today. And eyes and throat feel like rubbed with sandpaper. Awful out there.I've never seen anything like this before, and the smell is tough to take.

Wow. After 9/11 it was pretty bad and the smoke lingered for days downtown but this looks like a completely different beast. Hope it starts to clear up for you guys.
What do you guys think about this new composting thing?
Not quite sure how they enforce this.
Two weeks ago one of my friends was looking at his phone waiting for a train and was randomly pushed onto the subway tracks as a train was entering the station. Luckily, he managed to avoid the train. No mention in the news. Stay safe our there.

It's a sad world that we even have to think about this.
But yeah, my head is always on a swivel when I'm on the platform. Never on my phone, never stand directly facing the platform. (Always at an angle). There's absolute lunatics out there

That's so random. I went there during architecture grad school. Very cool spot, but not exactly go out of your way worthy unless you're a huge R Wright fan. Reminds me a lot of California style mid/late-mid century modernism... the woodsy, built to site stuff, not the international style Neutral stuff (which I also love)We are probably going to go to Manitoga in Garrison NY on Saturday. Have any locals ever been there? It's the home of Russell Wright, an industrial designer
My sister lives in Newburgh so we were going to be driving that way to get there. Figured it was worth a stop. We collect and sell MCM/Modern design stuff so we are familiar with his furniture and dinnerware/pottery.That's so random. I went there during architecture grad school.

Spent Thanksgiving in the City with my family (wife, 13 yr old daughter, 10 yr old son). Had a fantastic week. Stayed at the Knickerbocker, did all the touristy stuff. Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Museum, Top of the Rock, saw the Parade, ate well, etc. Flew into JFK and didn't get in a car all week. By the end of the trip, my kids were grizzled Subway vets and fell in love with the energy of the City.
Had great food in Little Italy, China Town, and several pizza spots. Did Thanksgiving at Jacob's Pickles - not Michelin level dining but for a family of 4 on TGiving they knocked it out of the park. Never once felt unsafe. This idea that NYC is some kind of hellhole (as a certain cable news network describes it) absolute nonsense.
Central Park was beautiful. The Rockettes aren't my cup of tea, but my wife wanted to see the show and it was great spending an evening at Radio City MH.
Such an incredible, wonderful place to live and visit. I hope one of my kids either goes to school there or works there for at least a year or two. The older I get, I realize my life regrets will be not living in more amazing cities if even for a short time. NYC at the top of that list. Those of you who make the City your home - kudos.

Sounds like a great trip. One of my best life choices was leaving my first job out of school, moving to NYC and finding a way. Definitely miss living there.

I am done with the subway.Well... First time for everything..
With my daughter at the 2nd Ave F stop heading uptown. I noticed a guy laying at the bottom of the stairs on the downtown side acting kind of crazy...thrashing around and yelling moaning. A minute later, I watch him yell louder and start rolling to the edge of the platform...right down onto the tracks. Seemed unfazed by falling or anything else, still thrashing and yelling/moaning.
I called 911 as soon as I saw him go over (and hope I wasn't the only one) and then heard the downtown train coming.
Fortunately.. and I'd guess somewhat intentionally, he rolled into the inside and rarely/never used express tracks- not the active downtown local tracks where the F was arriving.
2 random strangers reached down and lifted him up and stood with him on the platform while he continued his thrashing moaning on the platform.
Then our uptown train arrived and off we went.
No emergency services showed up during the 4-5 minutes while this happens.

My wife and I took our 13 year old daughter and her friend for 3 days between Xmas and New Years. We did a lot of touristy stuff and had a great time. I haven’t been to NYC in almost 20 years and it was as fun now as it was then. My buddy has a daughter that’s lived in the city for 15 years and she took us to a few places one afternoon. She came from a small town in Ohio and says she hopes to never leave the city. That led my wife and I into the conversation about regretting we didn’t live in a large city in our 20s too.
