dWave Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 August 14,2003 Blackout ( 12 years ago ) I remember this like it was yesterday https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003 I remember too. I was in Harlem I ended up walking about 6 miles home. getting free ice cream and such along the way given away before it melts. I was tempted to sleep outside that night it was so hot inside.

IsentropicLift Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I think a lot of us are bigger fans of nice, warm pleasant weather but when the first model runs come in showing a blue bomb inside of 120 hours, very few will be complaining.

UnionWeatherWx Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Anyone know what happened today out in route 22 in Springfield? I was heading to Panera Bread, but the traffic was so horrid I had to turn back and return home. This trip usually takes me 20 minutes, today I was out on the roads for a good hour.

bluewave Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Brooklyn may join the 1000+ foot skyscraper club. http://www.citylab.com/housing/2015/08/brooklyn-may-join-the-super-tall-skyscraper-club/400592/ A skyscraper more than 1,000 feet tall might be heading to Brooklyn. Towers that tall are hard to come by even in Manhattan, and there aren’t any plans to build anything that large in any other borough yet. But there’s plenty of demand for a super-tall residential tower in Brooklyn—and now, one of the developers who has nurtured Manhattan’s Billionaire’s Row has the air rights to build something as tall as the Empire State Building in downtown Brooklyn.

Some of the buildings going up lately are completely unimaginative. I had a couple friends go into architecture and the designs they were able to come up in high school in their sleep were 100 times better than these glass boxes that are passing for design these days.

I had a couple friends go into architecture and the designs they were able to come up in high school in their sleep were 100 times better than these glass boxes that are passing for design these days. Did you see big burst of development that is planed in the coming years for that part of Brooklyn? http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2015/08/18/brooklyn_will_get_22000_new_apartments_in_the_next_4_years.php According to the Brooklyn New Development Report from the data gurus at City Realty, Brooklyn is about to see a huge surge of new residential development. This is not exactly shocking news, but the numbers themselves are still interesting: 22,000 new apartments are on track to introduced to the market by the end of 2019, with almost half of them being built in Downtown Brooklyn (6,400 new units) and Williamsburg (4,300 new units). Not only will the "crush of [new] buildings with 20 or more units" bring a huge amount of apartments to the borough, but it will also dramatically change the Brooklyn skyline. Some of the Brooklyn listings in that general area are off the charts. http://streeteasy.com/building/one-brooklyn-bridge-park/1216b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s good and bad news for Boston and other East Coasters. It almost certainly won’t be as cold as last year in the Northeast, but fierce Nor’easters could be commonplace, bringing a return of heavy snowstorms.

bluewave Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Looks a lot better than the Brooklyn proposal. That part of Brooklyn is growing so fast that Prospect South is becoming the new suburbs for a house with a yard as people are looking SE. I believe Boardwalk Empire filmed not to far from this location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmillz25 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I live in Williamsburg and I tell you those condos really suck. I've been here all my life and the worst thing thing they could have done is build those condos near the east river like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The building explosion in LIC and Astoria is remarkable. The whole area by the Long Island sign in LIC has become a new city with skyscrapers, beautiful parks, beautiful water front activities and high end buildings. What a change.

The regular wealthy need somewhere to live. Manhattan is becoming so expensive that it's only really for the ultra rich and foreign investment money.

jm1220 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 So jealous of that cold front that hit the plains and midwest. It's actually supposed to come through here and stall just south of us and finally bring some rain. The high tomorrow might stay below 90!! The 100s have subsided for now, we have a daily high range around 97-99 now. This summer needs to end-pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
