57th st Pyramid Tower Built for the Gods

Designs for a new residential high-rise in Manhattan have been unveiled. The construction is designed by architect Bjarke Ingles. The plans for this project have been kept secret until now and the structure is planned to be built on 57th street and the west side water front. This fantastic structure will have even the Egyptian Gods gagging.

Back on track.

The Broadway Nassau/ Fulton Street Stop on the A,C,J,M,Z,2,3,4 and 5 train lines has been a thorn in the straphangers side since Adam was a lad, but thanks to the new stimulus bill signed by President Obama, completion of the state of the art transit center will soon be back on track. 

The Metropolitan Transit Authority and the MTA New York City Transit's state of the art transit hub will connect all six of the Lower Manhattan subway lines. 

The once segregated E,R and W lines will join the A,C,J,M,Z,2,3,4, and 5 lines. The project is ment to improve access to and improve the connections between the twelve subway lines for the multitude of daily commuters.

The transit hub will also have a connection to the New Jersey Path train service and the World Trade Center Site.

The $787 Billion dollar federal economic stimulus bill is hoped to once again jumpstart the ailing economy. The Metropolitan Transit Authority announced that it expects to to spend $497 million in stimulus money to complete the Fulton Transit Center.

When completed, the Fulton Transit Center is hoped to breathe new life into the Lower Manhattan area and will contribute to New York City's status as the worlds number one global market place and top destination.

"There's no place like home"

It feels so good to be back in the familiar hustle & bustle of New York City.  Hitting the pavement on Broadway and zipping through the crowds on the subway platforms.  Like old times. 

Hong Kong is absolutely amazing and I would love to go back, but, nothing beats coming back home to the familiar. The number one feeling I missed was the joy of  laying in your OWN bed. There's just a level of comfort that just can't be described.  You just relax, lay back and .... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! 

The Temperature in the city has been so nice that I decided to walk home yesterday. I usually train it, because at the end of the day the last thing you want to do is cardio.  Anyway, I was passing Trinity Church on Broadway and Wall St.  and got a cool shot of the "Tribute In Lights"

It's amazing every time I see them.
