The normalization of marijuana is a foolish idea. Just one recent article about the health risks: "Pot is making people sick. Congress is playing catch-up" https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/06/congress-pots-ill-health-effects-00081178 "Recently a steady flow of data has emerged on the health impacts of marijuana, including emphysema in smokers and learning delays in adolescents." And then there's this for those who care about street safety (presumably everyone): "The percentage of driving deaths involving cannabis has more than doubled from 2000 to 2018" — Marcus on Nosy Neighbor: Is a cannabis dispensary coming to Harrison?

If you make the wall out of glass and the water rises we can make it like an aquarium and people can come visit and see the fish and other wildlife. — Manny on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

How about lowering the water level by creating a massive tube into outer space which the vacuum would draw water away from the Earth and into outer space? — Manny on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

I grew up in Rhode Island home of the 1939 hurricane which flooded the state and city with 12 foot water. After years of the same (Hurricane Carol, etc) we built a hurricane barrier IN THE OCEAN which has prevented flooding ever since. Surely the Army has the intelligence (I'm joking) to do the same at the mouth of a RIVER to stem the growing waters we know are coming. I think we all need to write our elected officials now to kill this wall before a dime is spent even studying it. Studying Rhode Island. — Jean Grillo on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

Such a plaque in the sidewalk is a good idea because it would give folks something else besides their telephones to read as they walk along -- — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Removing Nazi collaborators from Broadway

Sadly, the texture and spirit of the euthanized blockfront of 19th century structures can never be recreated, and whatever is erected on this site is TriBeCa in location only. — Wayne Burkey on 65 West Broadway site is for sale

I mean...how and why anyone would think this is a good plan.......... escape from NY. 1987 movie....lol — darcy on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

Aww, goimg to miss Cicci. They have the best sandwiches in NYC. I said what I said. — Demi on The latest from Hudson Eats and Brookfield

This is so low-tech. Frankly, I am outraged. — TribecaPickleBall on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

This is the dumbest idea ever. Looks ugly too. — John Tiller on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

i like th e idea but they shoudl make all these walls clear so you can see through...I am sure there is something besides cinderblocks or cement or whatever they are using that will be more pleaseing to the eye and not block the views is why we like to live down here — Adam Glassman on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

Would love to see that area improved (and require them to fulfill their obligations) and secretly wish a few lanes north of White street on Church to be repurposed to a green space. — Michael on Zadig & Voltaire coming to 100 Franklin

Do they have an air pump available to the public? — K on New Kid on the Block: Unlimited Biking

Seems like a good membership model for those without dental insurance and who have generally healthy teeth. What surprises me is that they thought that one of the wealthiest zip codes in America is the right place to find this demographic. Maybe they are focused more on cosmetic whitenings (not covered by insurance) rather than cleanings? — R on Wally dental care is open at Leonard and Church

Is it xenophobic to ask about the vaccination status of migrant children entering schools? The CDC must be giving these children a pass, in the name of equity. — Bobbie on In the News: Holiday Inn in Fidi will be temporary home for migrants

So soon NYC will be the City at the End of the World in "Artificial Intelligence"? — Marcus on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

To the native chicagoan -- the sculptor anish kapoor lives in the building. *WINKEE WINKEE* ;) ;) — meesalikeu on The Bean, revealed

Dear tribecacitizen.com owner, Thanks for the informative and well-written post! — Rochell Macalister on Seen & Heard: Gubernatorial debate tonight at Pace

A common sense approach, I like it. — Will on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

Why so angry? — M on New Kid on the Block: L’Abeille

Maybe we should just accept that lower Manhattan will flood from time to time, at least until it is eventually underwater in the 22nd century perhaps. But until then, let's skip the Berlin Wall vibe, which likely won't actually prevent water from infiltrating anyway, but would wall Manhattan off from it's waterfront. Then focus on protecting smaller areas, like tunnel entrances and subways. And work on upgrading buildings and utilities where they won't be damaged by ever increasing salt water inundation. — Robert Ripps on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

This is the cheaper alternative. It’s cost is estimated at $52Billion where as the New York Harbor storm surge was around $110 Billion. The actual costs will inevitably be much higher. In any case. We can’t wetland our way out of future flooding and the next Sandy. — FiDiGuy on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

Leonard’s Lima — SW on The Bean, revealed

I think you may need to update your data. So far the predictions have been quite accurate and if anything too conservative. The next Sandy could come sooner than you think because the rate is not linear. It is speeding up and going to get worse. A tipping point may be near. That said, I think a London-like Thames river barrier gate makes more sense. — OK on Army Corps has plans to build a wall down the westside

This particular store didn't have many burglaries going on, very peaceful upper-middle-class neighborhood. I'm guessing it was mainly not enough business. The other newer pharmacies in the Oculus are smaller and busier, mainly just because more people walk by them. But as others noted, now we have no pharmacies south of Brookfield Place. It's a real shame as they always had Ben and Jerry's on sale.... Curiously it says all prescriptions are being sent to a Duane Reade — Brin on Rite Aid in Brookfield is closing
