    A lovely photograph there, aside from the skyscrapers it's like something you might find out of historic parts of Boston. Why don't we see that streetscene more often in New York tourism material?

    It's a real shame that the new aquarium look was shot down. So now they will spend fifty million on a new tank for sharks. Just great, so now they can triple their shark population to 40.

    Is she going to run for elective office? She fits in the mold of the typical get nothing completed politician.
