The first week back to the grind was not particularly exciting - but life on the streets had me looking around my fair city.

The shots here speak to two thoughts.

The AT&T building certainly makes you ask yourself how bad is your office - do you have a window view??  I have a feeling this is where a bunch of the data is collected on our phone calls to and from NYC.

The other shot is of the rail yard leading into Penn Station.  It's amazing so many tracks come from under the Hudson River and into Penn - and this is part of the area being discussed as getting covered and used as "new" land for development on the west side (that may be scrapped with the 2009 economic outlook)
