Average middle class people in NYC are going to be a thing of the past soon. It already is really. I hate when we have a performance of some kind in nyc...the hotels are getting outrageous.

Now having been in since opening, I can only call it a interactive art sculpture. I found the walking in it with all the stair fun to climb and the views at top were excellent. But I wonder, since it was open, what happens in the snow and rain???? And the outside is copper...won't that turn green eventually?

Around Rockefeller Center seems to be the only unchanged part for the most part we still know.I like this though. People panned the High Line, too. The Eiffel Towel has no "purpose" either. But like the Eiffel Towel, this could become pretty iconic in NYC. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before; it sort of reminds me of something from a dream.<br /><br />And you know Im looking forward to that Neiman post.Agnes Goldberg-DeWoofshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844026602594610700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-7327437105650066362019-03-19T21:15:44.450-04:002019-03-19T21:15:44.450-04:00Stunning architecture.

His "Garden Bridge" was always destined to be a failure (and it was indeed cancelled in 2017) yet <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/17/absurd-vanity-project-for-our-age-boris-johnson-garden-bridge" rel="nofollow">£43 million of British taxpayers' money</a> was spent on it; his <a href="https://www.crawleyobserver.co.uk/news/faulty-church-pews-spark-unholy-row-1-7302348" rel="nofollow">church pews were so faulty</a> they had to be condemned; prior to even the Olympics his <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7883496.stm" rel="nofollow">"B of the Bang"</a> was dismantled because it was so badly designed bits kept falling off it; and his new Routemaster buses for London were so totally impractical in any kind of summer temperatures they had to be <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/sep/18/routemaster-buses-in-london-to-be-refitted-with-windows-that-open" rel="nofollow">refitted with windows that actually opened</a>, at a cost of £2 million.
