    Park row was not closed down for security reasons. I went to school across the street and they started blocking the street way before 9/11. Same with the offramps and the park underneath Brooklyn Bridge, they've been using it as a parking lot before it was even designated as one (including the closed off ramps)

    Living there a few months out of the year, I can say that eastern virginia's rather pleasant.



    On the other hand, if that's true, by century's end, summers in Eastern Virginia are gonna be hot.
