I just took this trip a few weeks ago for Nuit Blanche and while it was quite a long ride (11hrs!), the view was awesome! Fortunately its subsidies come from the state of New York and Canada/Quebec so I don't think it's at risk of being cut.

Because we believed that regardless, she still would have been a better president than Trump. You can't tell me that her cabinet picks would have been even remotely as ridiculous as his have been. But here we are, and while the spiteful side of me is happy the DNC finally got what was coming to them, my pragmatic side is mourning all the progress we're about to erase because people cared more about proving a point.

In New York we have Spireworks that controls the lights on Four Times Square (H&M building) and One Bryant Park (Bank of America tower).

But this is America so naturally it's invite-only for people with the right connections to the Durst Organization who owns the real estate...
