true, 9:22, but it's the kind of topic that was made for blogging; plus, our office is around the corner so we can't help but notice every incremental change.

At about 10:15 a.m., the DUMBO Improvement District sent out the following e-mail:
"Due to the severity of this morning’s storm, flooding across the city and subway delays, today’s press conference for the Pearl Street Triangle has been cancelled.
It is tentatively rescheduled for tomorrow at 12:30pm, but this depends on the Department of Transportation’s ability to respond to the storm. Please expect an e-mail later today to update you on the press conference. We’re sorry for the inconvenience."
