“There’s no reason to do business in New York,” Mr. Weinstein said. “I can do the same volume in Florida in the same square feet as I would have in New York, with my expenses being much less. The idea was that branding and locations were important, but the expense of being in this city has overtaken the marketing group that says you have to be there.”For four months, the Victoria’s Secret flagship store at Herald Square in Manhattan has been closed and not paying its $937,000 monthly rent. “It will be years before retail has even a chance of returning to New York City in its pre-Covid form,” the retailer’s parent company recently told its landlord in a legal document.

The company’s first brick-and-mortar operations includes plans for a candy-fueled cafe, slinging unasked-for creations like a milkshake topped with a slice of rainbow cake and Sour Patch Kids-flavored cookie dough, the latter of which has been created in partnership with popular cookie dough brand Do.

Street closings are routinely disregarded from what I’ve seen. Some people get uppity and try to close them off again after the barricades have been moved but a minute later some other douche with a car comes and decides that the closure is not applicable to him so he moves the barricades ...and so forth
― ncxkd, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 21:31 (three years ago) link
yeah I'm pretty aggro about setting them back up in my area but it's gotten to the point where I can really only worry about my section of the world. setting barricades back up in deep carrol gardens is disheartening

Update: "Ventilation Action Teams are comprised of licensed professional engineers who are analyzing building ventilation components to determine if they are functioning and what, if any, repairs must be made," DOE spokesperson Nathaniel Styer said in a statement. "This includes a 'tissue test' which is a CDC recommended way of determining airflow. Air quality tests will be conducted with certified CO2 readers. The Council Member should reach out to us with his concerns before jumping to conclusions on the internet."
