NYC is basically a wasteland when it comes to Tech. Wasn’t always that way, but it has happened in the past 25 years.
When I graduated college 30 years ago, most of the power plants in the country, as well as other big facilities, were designed by consulting engineering companies located in the area around Penn Station: companies like Burns and Roe, Ebasco, Gibbs and Hill and more. They have all moved out of the city.
You used to have 4 major Bell Labs facilities in New Jersey, now there is only one. IBM closed up its lab in Kingston, NY. Engineers generally don’t make anywhere near what financial types and lawyers make, so companies cannot locate in this area.
Definitely sticking in Bed-Stuy. City declared weather emergency but won’t decide about school until tomorrow morning. (No biggie for us–high schools that give regents, which is most public high schools, off from yesterday through next Monday. But my daughter was supposed to take the Chinatown bus to Boston this morning to visit family and help with babies but trip called for snow here and there.)

DIBS, you just won $10 for me
“Can you handle 10″, Cobble?”
Snort!
No comment, DIBS.
Christie told the federal government to fuck off b/c he’s not paying back the money they want from the cancelled tunnel project!!! LOL
Can you handle 10″, Cobble???
Snow accumulations of up to 10″ expected!!
“My mother in law”
Your mother is also a lawyer?
Snowing in Manhattan but nothing’s sticking, just a slushy mess.
