Catsimatidis To Bring Beloved World’s Fair Back to the Big Apple

The Republican billionaire has launched his mayoral campaign with few concrete proposals — save for an ambitious plan for the city to host its third World’s Fair.

“I respect John Kennedy for saying that he had a dream that we’d go to the moon before the end of the decade,” Catsimatidis continued. “I respect Martin Luther King saying he had a dream we can have a black President.”

“This is my dream,” he added. “I think our country needs more visionaries.”

This is guy is considered seriously as a contender to be our next mayor.

Pizzapocalypse

Does two pizza joints = a trend? Hope not. But regardless, worth a link for the headline alone.

Trading Parking Spots for Potted Plants

If the plaza goes through, it will not only take part of the street, but also nix seven parking spaces in an area where every space is prime real estate.

Uh, this stretch of Broadway is not exactly overrun with traffic. The bigger impact will be that cars turning right on Bedford will have to go about 20′ out of their way. I think we’ll survive.

I am switching hosting providers, which may result in some down here and will definitely put me out of email touch for a short while.

Salvation Army Demo

Wow – that started quickly.

For those wondering, all signs point to this being another Salvation Army building. Renderings that I saw back in June or so were clearly for the Salvation Army, and knowledgeable people I spoke to at that time had no information to the contrary. You’d think they’d cash in, and maybe they plan to, but I’ve seen nothing to indicate that that is in the offing.
