After Hurricane Sandy, Manhattan and the other 4 boroughs have some bad timing. It's marathon week in New York City. Planning and preparation was going on and I'm sure the NYC Marathon will go off without a hitch...except mass transportation (Read: SUBWAYS, which are down currently).
Take a look at how things are looking the day after Sandy. Still, people in Wisconsin are optimistic about how New York will handle the adversity. Yes, you read correctly: Wisconsin. Then again, the folks at the Wall Street Journal, are using the same AP article. That is hopeful, I suppose. Stay positive. As the AP article states, "...if flooding or other damage affects the course or logistics, NYRR has contingency plans every year to adjust to any potential problems."
Also, with the race ending in Central Park, it passes within a block of the now infamous 57th Street Crane. NYC Mayor, Michael Bloomberg said last night, 57th St. between 6th and 7th Ave. were evacuated. Miles 25-26 are within a block or so of that area (albeit, they're in the park). Kind of scary! Where is our friendly, neighborhood Spiderman on this one?
