Hilarious that this WSJ writer thinks 770 Broadway, just south of Union Square, could be "Midtown South". Don't know much about geography, eh?
I laughed out loud at the Midtown South designation, but after thinking about it I wouldn't be at all surprised if the EV ended up being called that. Everything that we consider Midtown is spreading south, snaking down the island, to eventually meet up with Wall Street, destroying every last vestige of the LES and Chinatown in it's wake.
Dubai on the Hudson. Midtown takes over the whole of Manhattan.
when they build office buidongs there it WILL be midtown south. get ready, here it comes!
Wall Street junior writers are dumb and dumber. She/He/It probably thinks the Coal Yard is a cool place to hang out. I mean...didn't Mikey Bloomberg mention it in one of his speeches?
I wouldn't piss on the Coal Yard's jukebox.
mick d's interview was interesting, though i dont know of his work. interesting NY is "over" from all he said, & this blog. i wonder what kind of area he lives in now? (the new jersey location).
Are you sure he lives in the Jersey location now?
