Warning: That Gloomberg would say such a thing doesn't surprise me. I really don't think that this $3.4 billionaire sitting in Gracie Mansion does care too much about the common folk. During these 3...

Warning: That Gloomberg would say such a thing doesn't surprise me. I really don't think that this $3.4 billionaire sitting in Gracie Mansion does care too much about the common folk. During these 3...
Tragically, that's exactly what has happened to Main Street- Flushing. I remember growing up in an area that wasn't high-class but at least had its charms. That whole area today cannot easily be...
While some gas stations have been torn down, the remainder are thriving. There is a BP Amoco in Bayside Queens along Northern Boulevard, and it's effectively become a hotspot for all types of car...
Congrats, Gloomberg. You just gave me yet another reason to help vote you out next year. :lol:
It's a new complex being planned for John Jay College. It's expected to be on Tenth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets.
Well, there's that other 38% of city residents who hate his guts. :wink:
35 floors, 535 feet. That's way too inadequate. That building needs to double its height and floors if its owners (namely PriceWaterhouse Coopers) want any distinction for their headquarters.
People can complain all they want, but this isn't Boston MA (I've been up there a few times and it's WAY TOO BORING to describe here) This is New York NY. Isn't supposed to be the city that never...
Mike Bloomberg was born and raised in Medford MA, a suburb of Boston (you know, the city that always sleeps?). I no longer have any doubt that he wants the Big Apple to be a clone of that boring...
There's only so much people can do against an international terrorist group like AL Qaeda with the genocidal mentality of the Third Reich.
Here's a second, longer article, with a detailed bio:
Former President Ronald Reagan Dies at 93

LOS ANGELES - Ronald Reagan (news -...
Let's focus on the photo ban from this point on OK gentlemen?. The point is, this proposed subway photo ban is more about political grandstanding tainted by fear than security from terrorism attacks....
Maybe it was appropriate that Peep-O-Rama was the first structure to be demolished. A clear sign that Times Square is finally shedding its reuptation as a haven for drag queens, and for the better. I...
In case I forgot, here's what one photo website (It's one of my favorite ones) had to say about this disgusting proposal:
http://www.NYCSubway.org/ Without Photos?
Yes, if a ban on subway...
With each passing day, we're hearing more examples of "we must restrict your freedom for your own good" politically correct attitude taking hold in the city and state governments. :roll: Call me...
Even though I'm a non-smoker, I have no problem with those who smoke around me.
So then Ninja, what would you say publicly if the US Congress passed a federal law banning all tobacco products,...
Perhaps Bloomberg was wise enough not to take his smoking ban to beaches, cars, and rooftops. If that were to happen he would have alienated a lot more people than he already has. (I know quite a few...
Nice try Bloomy! :evil: You said that your financial expertise would help put this city's finances in order, but IMO you've failed, for the long-term anyway. I really think it may be time for a new...
Well Ninjahedge, when it comes to health officials using and abusing political power, things are not settling down; in fact, they're speeding up. Just the other day Richard Carmona said that tobacco...
Ninjahedge, I'll try not to sound offensive, but from what I've read, you're a New Jerseyan living in a state with no statewide smoking ban (and clearly resentful of it), so I wouldn't be surprised...
Apparently we're not the only people who think this is dumb. The same agency that imposed the photo ban also raised our fares to $2.00 per bus & subway ride! God this MTA is really pissing me off! ...
Obviously the smoking ban hasn't destroyed NYC's nightlife utterly, but the city's night establishments haven't been filling up with "hordes of nonsmokers" either, as Mike Bloomberg predicted. From...
By left-wingers I mean loyal Democrats of virtually every stripe except the pro-life crowd. There are a million antiwar and other activist groups who want Bush out of office, and I'm expecting the...
It's amazing how many left-wingers in this country want George W Bush's head on a platter a la John the Baptist :roll: .
First the smoking ban in bars and restaurants, and now this :evil: . Behavior restrictions in NYC may have worked with Giuliani and Bratton to crack down on crime, but now they're getting a little...
