William B. Johnson, Percussionist

"It's a classic story in New York, the city's inability, under Lindsay, to get the snow off the streets," said William B. Eimicke, a professor of public administration at Columbia University. "It led to the reputation that he couldn't get the trains to run on time."That is true, Gothamist does love us some public services working well, but we have found that walking on the snowy, car-less streets makes us feel ALL-POWERFUL. Anyway, Mayor Bloomberg isn't announcing his formal reelection bid until June; he probably wants to be able to take the high road and say "My opponents are criticizing me...I'm not going to deign to comment on that because I'm actually running the city." In the meantime, Miller is bringing his "Bloomberg sucks" show to Albany.

With the farewell of Below 14th, Lockhart Steele gives Manhattanites (and even some Brooklynites) something tastier to chew on: Curbed, which is "based on the idea that everything in New York City comes back to real estate, rent and the neighborhoods we live in." In other words, it's not just the Lower East Side. It's beautifully designed by Khoi Uong with technology by Eliot Shephard, and Gothamist looks forward to contributors moblogging crowded open houses. We're sure Corcoran, Douglas Elliman, William B. May, and others will be rushing to buy ad space, and if not, they'll be dangling broker-free apartment deals to Steele et al. immediately.
