Not really like Moses in reverse. Moses built some awful apartments on top of, or near his highways.
But, it would be super-awesome if we could demolish some highways around here, starting with the Sheridan.
It's JON, not JOHN, Corzine...
I don't know if Lake's assistant had a formal job description, but if she did, I can pretty much guarantee that one particular task was not in it.
where were the attractive virgins?
What's up with the guy in the picture? Is he breathing?
whats up with the double shooting in park slope?
Like the big dig but without actual digging?
"But, it would be super-awesome if we could demolish some highways around here, starting with the Sheridan."
No way! If you can only see how much traffic that thing gets on a normal basis. It's a major artery between many highways, especially during rush hour.
BigJ - please have a look. The Sheridan carries relatively little traffic:
