While I always just used a bandana out walking and only flipped it over my face when other people approached it still was hot at times ever just around the neck. Plus no more worries about getting severely sick from the COVID-19.
The Hotel Pennsylvania is going to come down, Steven Roth has told his Vornado shareholders. That’s not a shock. It’s an old-fashioned hotel with a great many small rooms, on an extremely valuable site directly across from Pennsylvania Station, fronting on Seventh Avenue. Because it’s lost some luster over the years, the hotel probably has a rough time drawing business travelers. I stayed there as a young person around 1984, and by that time it was passable but dowdy. Judging by some of the recent reviews on TripAdvisor (e.g., “a real life episode of American Horror Story” and “there were blood stains on the pillows”), it’s slipped further since then. Eight years ago, Roth said that he was planning to renovate and turn it into something great, but we live in a different economic climate now, and the empty air above that giant site at 401 Seventh is apparently just too tempting to resist. A 1,270-foot tower, bearing the not-at-all-phallic name of PENN15, is its likely replacement.

How they deliver power to your house and try to keep it working even when trees and other things hit the lines.
This is the kind of thing that used to start wars, but we highly doubt that this incident will come to that. A farmer who was annoyed by a historic stone marker that was in his tractor’s path moved the object 7.5 feet — unofficially making his own country of Belgium slightly bigger and neighboring France slightly smaller.
Farmers are notoriously protective of their land rights; sovereign nations tend to be, too. As you can imagine, the incident has raised some eyebrows.
First reported by the BBC, the news outlet said that the border between France and what is now Belgium was formally established under the Treaty of Kortrijk, signed in 1820 after Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo five years earlier. The stone, which is between the Belgian town of Erquelinnes and the French town of Bousignies-sur-Roc, dates back to 1819, when the border was first marked out.
Snowmobile trails planned for the Adirondack Park violate the state constitution’s “forever wild” clause and may only be approved through a constitutional amendment, the state’s highest court has ruled. It is a rare New York State Court of Appeals decision on the constitutional provision that protects state forest preserve, which includes the Adirondacks and Catskills. Four judges ruled in favor of Protect the Adirondacks, the advocacy organization that brought the suit against the state Department of Environmental Conservation, while two judges dissented. The New York Court of Appeals decision issued on Tuesday ends nearly eight years of litigation and overturns part of a lower court ruling.
The Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway (reporting mark RSB), more commonly known as the Rochester subway was a light rail rapid transit line in the city of Rochester, New York, from 1927 to 1956. The subway was constructed in the bed of the old Erie Canal, which allowed the route to be grade-separated for its entire length. Two miles (3.2?km) of the route through downtown were constructed in a cut-and-cover tunnel that became Broad Street, and the only underground portion of the subway. The Rochester Subway was designed to reduce interurban traffic on city streets, and to facilitate freight interchange between the railroads. The line was operated on a contract basis by New York State Railways until Rochester Transit Corporation (RTC) took over in 1938. The last day of passenger service was June 30, 1956. Portions of the right-of-way were used for expressway construction, while the rest was abandoned and filled in over the years.
