NYC: What the NY Times Thought Happened Today

The New York Times is not very interested in the lives of people like cops, firefighters or thousands of people losing their church...

It is more interested in things like the highest new condo for millionaires etc.

The Times cannot help it, it is a Limousine Left-Liberal paper and reflects the opinions of the gentry, Wall Street, and the "important" people it thinks are its audience

Oh, the Places We’ve Been

Updated 10:11 a.m. Good morning on this chilly Friday.
New York has lost a political giant.
Mario M. Cuomo, the former governor and father of the present one, died on Thursday at 82.
Here’s what else is happening.
Last year, we sent photographers to shoot obscure places and curious things around New York.
The assignments involved climbing, boating and spending the night at a museum without a sleeping bag.
They didn’t necessarily involve talking.
So we called the photographers and asked what it was like.
Ruth Fremson perched on the 76th story of 432 Park Avenue — the city’s new tallest residential building.
“While the views were spectacular,” she said, “it felt to me that humans should not be living at that height, in a completely sealed environment.”
When Kirsten Luce was assigned to a story about inspections of rooftop water tanks, she asked to climb inside one.
“It reminded me of swimming underneath the docks on the lake at my great-uncle’s house,” she said of the interior, “dark and disorienting.”
Bryan Thomas admitted to feeling a bit scared as he photographed two rare ice boats on the frozen Hudson.
“Once the boats took off, the sound they made as they chattered across the ice was mildly terrifying,” said Mr. Thomas, who is from Florida.
Here is a slide show with the results of their missions, and several others.
