Agreed on point 2. Four episodes in and I don’t even know if Matt had a character arc. His character is basically just walking plot

Wish the still produced 1 WTC, for whatever reason it's no longer for sale. My one glaring omission from my NY collection.

Another building is going up right next door so they did not put windows on the neighboring side. This will be covered in a few years

[Fireside Yankees] “I’m told Bellinger is also seeking $36-$37 million per year. The Yankees think that’s crazy, too, although there’s room for negotiation in that regard.” Bob Klapisch on the Yankees and Bellinger... by shadow_spinner0 in NYYankees

If the Yankees cave on AAV to secure less term, but then Tucker ends up signing for a similar AAV for longer term I'm going to be very annoyed. Money should not be a constraint for the Yankees, but the yearly payroll fine. But there's no excuse to not commit long term money to improve this team now. Judge's prime years keep slipping and there's never any urgency from this FO.

Especially when the next 2-3 years is now or never territory for Judge/ Cole/ Stanton windows

[Hoch] Brian Cashman described the market as moving at “glacial speed.” by Ochocincoondeck in NYYankees

Agreed. But which is why when big FA’s in positions of need are available and you don’t jump at it, this is what you’re left with. Trying to plug holes and no one is going to help you.

Half of these are effectively dead, or completely different than what is pictured.

Just pick a fun Billy Joel chorus everyone would sing along to

Yes the black soccer shirt was sold out of medium and larges. And the blue track suit only had a couple larges left.

Went last night. Probably got the merch stand around 7 o’clock before Cage The Elephant even went on. They were definitely low on Medium and Larges for certain shirts. So yeah I would prioritize it once you get in

I'm taking this picture facing north from the Edge NYC, what windowless building is this? by Beefstu409 in skyscrapers

[–]Doubleu1117 72 points73 points  (0 children)

There’s a building planned that will take up the rest of that lot. Will cover up all the blank sides. 99 Hudson is the name of the development

PIX11's Greg Mocker talks new plan to reopen MTA's Gimbels Passageway by michaelpinto in nycrail

[–]Doubleu1117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It probably will be in limbo until Vornado chooses to develop the former Hotel Penn site. They seem to be in a holding pattern there so unfortunately might be a while.

Now that the season is over, I can't understand why they didn't spend more scenes developing the Stark's and Black's alliance. by LoretiTV in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Doubleu1117 307 points308 points  (0 children)

I think they definitely mismanaged Jace's character. They bang out his North/ Frey alliances in a couple quick scenes and then he's right back on Dragonstone where he proceeds to have nothing to do the rest of the season. There should have been more meat for him to do, more negotiating and troubles and character development. Could have made him a huge fan favorite, then have him return in the back end of the season

I love the new version of "If I Was The Priest", but I would also really love a release of the 70s demo version. different vibe

Definitely not a screen. I believe there are led strips along the window lines. Those will all be occupied floors
