Whoa! Is that the hotel on Wyckoff near the graveyard? Always wondered about it. For truckers, maybe. Sure would be nice if could put the folks there….doesn’t seem like a good idea though.
“And you all wonder why I rant about unions?????? This is typical union “work slowdown” bullshit.”
class warfare works both ways.
CGar: That’s good to know. Was under the impression that one needed to be logged in to see most NYT stories anyway but phaps that’s wrong?
I had one yesterday.
Is the photo of the Brooklyn Motor Inn meant as a suggestion that we all go out and have nooners???
Gabby, you can’t open any of the NYTimes links without logging in to the Times website. At least that’s the message I get.
GM, dave.
New York’s Strongest used a variety of tactics to drag out the plowing process — and pad overtime checks — which included keeping plows slightly higher than the roadways and skipping over streets along their routes, the sources said.
The snow-removal snitches said they were told to keep their plows off most streets and to wait for orders before attacking the accumulating piles of snow.
And you all wonder why I rant about unions?????? This is typical union “work slowdown” bullshit. These people need to lose their jobs, or worse, be prosecuted for some of the deaths that occured.
FUCK THEM.

Hope this is thoroughly investigated and not just “Plowed Under” in the coming weeks.
