Stormy Weather

NYC weather has been crazy lately. One day will be chilly, the next warm and summery, the next stormy and flooded.

For some reason I decided not to wear my Hunter rain boots and ended up getting caught in the rain four times that day. 

To be fair it was very, very hot that morning and throughout the day. Even through the rain.

...and this was not just normal prissy rain.

Noah's ark style downpours. 
(well not really, I can still see the ground)

I have a blister to prove how comfortable it is to wear Danish clogs while power walking flooded Manhattan streets for 3 hours.

TMI?

Yeah it was. Sorry!

Spoonful of Sugar

A major issue in NYC that comes up frequently is the issue of preserving historic buildings versus tearing them down to make room for new ones. Many native New Yorkers are upset because it seems that much of the city is constantly being demo'ed and prepped for new buildings. The buildings, which can house more people, are needed, but the cost is tearing down favorite buildings and pricing out natives to make room for the younger people who are brand new to the city and are willing to pay a premium.

Part of this change has resulted in the renovation and construction of many waterfront parks in New York City boroughs. They are beautiful and feel like an escape from the crowded city. I guess they're the spoonful of sugar that make the medicine of condominium construction go down.
