I mean, for a city is huge and internationally known as NYC to have these safety hazards...not to mention those ugly things sticking out of some manholes (not sure what they are) with gates around them..in the middle of street no less.

I found your blogger through a friend of mine. Together we visited New York City in september 2005. I took a lot of pictures, some of which I enlarged and framed. They remind me daily of a fantastic vacation.<BR/><BR/>I am very much impressed by your photo´s. Please keep on the good work so that I can weekly visit your blog.<BR/><BR/>Greetings from The Netherlands<BR/><BR/>Marco de VriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-40280438007672317702007-05-30T10:21:00.000-04:002007-05-30T10:21:00.000-04:00Never a dull moment in Manhattan.During my years t...Never a dull moment in Manhattan.<BR/><BR/>During my years there, it wouldn't be at all uncommon to walk past some bank or airline with bombed out windows. The first major 'terrorist' action on Wall Street was in the 1920's when some irate investor wheeled a horse driven wagon full of dynamite up in front of the stock exchange and blew it all up.<BR/><BR/>I guess making political hay out of such events wasn't the perfected art form back then as it is today.John Nezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428052549806632272noreply@blogger.com
