Lots of good info in that article. Especially about the “City Square” portion of the project

only ever went to one game at Shea. It was a non-subway series Yankees game. They had to close the original Yankees Stadium for some reason.

Go Yankees!

I was driving down the Van Wyck this weekend and saw these cranes and thought they’re for the soccer pitch.

It’s surprising to read they’re for the apartment buildings, as in my experience it’s unusual for tower cranes to be used in the construction of low-rise buildings in NYC.

What would be nice is if the Bland Houses NYCHA development in Flushing is demolished with its residents moved to Willets Point, and the Bland Houses site is redeveloped.

Unfortunately, that’s never going to happen.

I predicted this correctly eight months ago.

It’s kind of sad that Emirates Airlines paid $20m to name a soccer stadium.

Turkish Airlines purchased City Hall for a much smaller amount. They got a lot more for a lot less.

Keep your eye on the ball…probably a body feint and the ball has already been sent to the pitch in D.C.
