NYC-DOH is right near that crane collapse. Any genealogists could have been walking in that area on Friday. Negotiating those narrow streets one tends to weave around walkers, not look up. Thursday night I just looked up my g-grandfather's restaurant address on West Broadway and thought about going there; it was also nearby the accident. The crane accident distracted Mayor di Blasio's from pending horse carriage negotiations. But, that issue is now resolved! The NYC Council refused to vote, so the horse drawn carriage industry will continue as it has for a hundred and fifty years.

Only had a few hours so I decided not to make my wife mad and stayed with her and the maniac children. I guess now I will send a written request for it.

Great news about the horse carriages staying industry! If and when I ever get to NYC again, i will finally get to ride in one!
