If you find this blog too poorly edited and not illustrated enough, check out this. If you are reading this right now dance on over to WNYC and listen to the Brian Lehrer show and listen to the interview with the author Kate Ascher (also VP of the NYC Economic Development Corporation). Some sample pages of the book are on his show blog. I’m to lazy to have a wish list, so if anyone wants to send me a copy of this, I’d be much obliged. If your name is Penguin, I might even pimp the book some more.
UPDATE: Oh, and to all you Democratic apologists, Bloomberg announced the day after his election, that he is interested in reasearching the possibility of congestion pricing in Midtown. That’s about as progressive as you can get (considering the other major city mayor who is an advocate is a declared Socialist). And Kate’s not so sharp on the Q&A, so here’s some detail. The orange lights that are mounted on standards have been variously attributed to three things: one, indicating proximity of fire house, the proximity of a pharmacy (that’s what FYI says), and the highly likely answer, they indicate a fire call box is below (before the advent of telephones, call boxes were necessary to make fire calls; though the city decomissioned most of them i the 90’s, the orange lights are vestigial remnants). And the drone in Times’ Square? Art. I visited it when it was renovated, but I don’t know if it is functioning today.

My job is done. Well, obviated.
