A few HK Observations....
HK, hell's kitchen is a great place. I really have grown to love the neighborhood, for it's food, it's culture and proximity to everything. There are two things that limits it's ability to be the "it" neighborhood and that is port authority and the lincoln tunnel. I love jersey, but not their drivers rushing to the lincoln tunnel after a stressful work day, charging a yellow light in their lexus. The lincoln tunnel holds up traffic on 9th avenue all the way from 42nd to 57th between the west side highway to times square. There is also traffic all the way down to chelsea coming the other way. That is why I am so shocked that the folks against the west side stadium are not doing any advertising or flyers based on this very aspect. The traffic is miserable as it is and if i was going to live here for a long time or bought a place here i'd be piping mad. How about some creativity in the flyers. all they say is "rally against the west side stadium - stop bloomberg" come on, i want to see a flyer with a traffic jam, chaos, mayhem, all up 9th avenue with people yelling and screaming after a metallica concert. I want a commercial with the jets cheerleader guy drinking beer out of a helmet on 9th ave and cabs honking everywhere. even with all the mass transit there is always the guy from nj or westchester who says they know a shortcut to the stadium. I can not even imagine what traffic will look like on 9th avenue. look at the traffic on 17 for giant's stadium! It's crazy to picture - i hope they have a plan for that, but it's not about that.
The other hk observation i have is that you can spot a bunch of broadway actors going about their business on a daily basis. but the interesting thing i have noticed is the number of red headed actresses. You would think that would be a niche, not on broadway. there are about 10,000 ready and available to play dorothy. I'm sure it's not natural and that it's not flying with the casting folks.
finally, i'm watching the bachelor right now. yeah i admit it. I guess he is going to choose one of these ladies. I want to sign them up for the pre-cana we are in right now and see if they can make it through - it's like survivor and we are half way through and have not been voted off. We were told this week, when i tried to cut down the number of sessions, that the final meeting will consist of an "investigation" - oh my!

Nobody will drive to the Jets games---does anyone drive to the Knicks games?--if you are stupid enough to drive you deserve to sit in traffic---come on Shark---its embaressing to New York that our teams play in Jersey and dont give me that NIMBY crap--its got to go somewhere--and dont even say Queens because you Manhattan snobs would NEVER go to Queens even if it was Monday Night Football and the Jets were playing Jesus and the Angels
