Been stuck here for the past 15 hours on a double shift Walked around Manhattan yesterday for a few hours after skiing at the store. How can you hate that place with the crowds, high prices, traffic, and randos yelling? I love The Big Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 No game. Dropped my oldest at the airport then took my middle and her friend into the city. Just visited the 911 memorial which is pretty intense 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got pissed looking for ski slope in shopping mall. Dug out phone twice to pull up QR code while juggling ski gear. Got irritated with inefficient check in process. Thought blue wrist band thingy was dumb. Sat on floor to boot up due to crowds occupying benches. Shredded the gnar radically. Talked to cute snowboarder chick on ski lift. Forgot to get digits. Tackled steep run on left, and steep run on right. Repeated. Stood in a line. Left. Watched vultures hovering over my parking spot while slowly stowing ski gear. Paid five dollah to leave. Was totally amazing and best indoor ski day ever. Edited November 26, 2023 by saltyant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time after 911 we were working at JFK airport, and that is were they took all the taxis, cop cars, fire trucks, big parts of the towers themselves, etc.....the inspector working with us, took us over there. If you want to put something into perspective, you should have seen that. Its not something going away any time soon. Burned out vehicles, twisted steel, ladder trucks with the ladder half melted off of them.....and it wasnt just like a few vehicles. it was rows of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people there yet so quiet and somber. I got a lot of questions from my teenage daughter and her friend that I had to attempt to explain. It's funny because I saw a few other parents doing the same and struggling with it like I was. Where and how it's built is truly incredible and they really do honor those lost in a proper fashion. When we left I just wanted to hug someone. On a completely different note I really wanted to hit the observation deck at liberty tower but fiddy bucks a pop seemed a bit excessive. I'm not about splitting cocoas in any way shape or form but $150 to ride an elevator seemed pretty excessive to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people that hate America and our way of life. Is that $50 per person for elevator or $150 each? Still a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
