Today I went out to Coney Island, I was out on business and afterward I took a stroll down to the boardwalk. The whole sky was grey, rain was alternating between a fine mist and a steady drizzle; just light enough that you wouldn’t get anything more than damp by walking around in it. The [...]
. . . But so what? Everything is fucked. Still, today the intorwebby is all aflutter with the nymag article about condo firesales over on the Williamsburg waterfront.
