NEW YORK SKYLINE "The World's Greatest"

Yes Boys and Girls, New York City has without a doubt and By-Far The World's Single Greatest Skyline .... Yes there are others that are quite Wonderful, like Hong Kong, Paris, and .... ???? When it comes to a Great Skyline and Thee # 1 Best Undisputed Champ, You Can Not Beat

New York .. No Other City even comes close. New York with Wonderful Iconic Buildings like, The very cool Triangular "Flatiron Building, The World's Most Beautiful Skyscraper by Far "The Chrysler Building, The Citicorp Building, The Lipstick Building and The World's Most Famous Skyscraper of all "No Matter That It's No Longer The Tallest" The World's Undisputed Champ "The EmPIRE STATE BUILDING" of New York ...

We had The Twin Towers which were Cool, "Side-By-Side Skyscrapers" but sadly we all know what happened to them on that fateful day 9/11 2001 .. WTC1 "World Trade Center 1" and Other Buildings that are making up the new World Trade Center Complex has reached its highest heights and is part of the new and ever changing New York Skyline. These new buildings can't match the effect of those Two Giants standing side-by-side, but there's nothing we can do about them. Well when they first went up, many did not care for them, they were ridiculed as being Ugly, Horrible Architecture and what-not, but people grew to Love them eventually Especially after they were destroyed.

Anyway, back to the main point of this little piece and tribut to the World's greatest Most Beautiful Skyline of All, "New York"

WTC 1 IS "UGLY" and Why DAVID CHILDS SUCKS

REMEMBERING THE TWIN TOWERS

BRIGHT LIGHT BIG CITY

TWIN TOWER in BACKGROUND

With ODEON

I Worked at The ODEON in The Late 80's

Yes, it's a Sad Sad Fact, "WTC 1" rising down at GROUND ZERO where the Twin Towers once stood is quite disgusting. Have you looked at the awful looking tower rising into our Beautiful

New York Skyline? It's quite awful looking. How the Hell could the Powers That Be pick such an awful looking building? It's quite disgusting! It's appalling! They couldn't come up with something better. This building is an Eyesore! It's HORIBLE !!!! WTC 1 looks like a skyscraper from downtown Miami, or Phoenix, not New York... This is quite a Sin. We have to live with this SHIT for a long long time. How can these MORONS make such a blunder? This AWFUL looking Tower is going to be a part of Our Wonderful New York Skyline for years to come. It's terrible. This building is going to bring down the look of our skyline. It is a detrement to New York.

The Price Tag of WTC 1, formely The Freedom Tower is 4 BILLION Dollars. You Idiots, with that kind of Money, couldn't come up with a better design? A better Look? A building that looks like a New York Skyscraper, not a Downtown Miami Skyscraper? It's Disgusting. It's a Sin that we are made to look at this Ugly Awful looking Monstrosity. Listen, I'm not knocking Miami. It's a cool place, a nice city and I like it. And the tall modern looking office buildings and skyscrapers that are in downtown Miami are fine, and look fine. For Miami that it! But we don't want a building, and one that is so prominent and will be the tallest building in New York and one of the tallest in the World, we don't want a building like this to be set into our beautiful Iconic New York Skyline, and it looks like it was put there, picked up in Miami and plopped down in New York. It's just not right. It's Sacriligious! It's DISGUSTING! But guess what my fellow New Yorkers?

We have no choice in the matter! These Idiots; David Childs, Larry Silverstein,

The Port Authority,Skidmore Owings and Merrill, did it, it's almost done and we have to live with it. One of the most horrible Blunders in New York City History. All because of thos Bastards at The Port Authority, Larry Silverstein and That Asshole David Childs. "You've Got No Aesthetics Man!" Your Design SUCKS! It's Awful! Ugly looking and I'm Freakin Pissed as Hell that I, my fellow New Yorkers and the physical City of New York has to Live with your Shitty Ass

Miami-Looking Design! I HATE That BASTARD David CHILDS for putting such an Awful Looking Blemish on Our Beautiful New York Skyline... You Suck David!

A REDITION of

THE UGLY LOOKING WTC 1

and World Trade Center Complex

DESIGNED By a MAN

with AWFUL AESTHETICS "DAVID CHILDS"

NEW YORK and The $3.00 PBR

New York and the $3.00 PBR, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer has been a God-Send to many New Yorkers. As you all know, the US Economy has been in the Shitter for the past 3-Half years or so.

Many people are out of work, and many who are working, are taking home Half-as-Much Money or more of what they used to make. People have had to buckle down and give up or curb many things they enjoyed previous to the current state of our economy, which is in almost a Depression Era State.

Yes, everybody says that we are not in a Depression, we're in a recession. Those are the Rich and Well-Off talking. To many, the state of our Union and their feelings are of Depression.

So, because of the Terrible State of our Economy you have given up eating out 3 times a week, you buy less clothes, spend less on Entertainment and any number of things and you haven't had a vacation in the past two years, maybe more. You given up a lot. We all have.

Now when it comes to socializing, going out for a few Beers or Cocktails with some friends, you've had to cut back on that too. But hey, you gotta draw a line somewhere, and everyone is entitled to a few drinks to unwind every now and then. But if you live in the Great City of New York this can be a costly undertaking, especially in this day, and of all times, to be having a Boom in The $14, Sixteen-Dollar-Or -More-Cocktail.W hat is a Poor Working Guy or Working Girl to do??? Well Boys and Girls, let's Thank God for that great thing of wonder and the Bars and establishments who so graciously and kindly serve it, The $3.00 PBR, That's right, a $3.oo Beer in The Land of The Over-Priced $16.00 Cocktail, Manhattan, New York, NY..... It's quite Sad, Greedy too.

Yes, Thank God and let's thank the Kind-Heart proprietors who serve $3.00 PBR'S or any Beer for just $3 or $4 in a New York Bar. You are doing you fellow man a public service and we thank you for that. Whoever you are, you are to be commended, and Shame-On-You, all those places that serve $14 PLUS Cocktails. "RIP-OFF" !!! Wish the masses would Boycott these places and patronize places like Blue & Gold Bar, 7B, and anyplace who has a heart. Bars that serve 3 and 4 Dollar Beers.

I just have to say, it's great to go to a place like Blue and Gold Bar on East 7th Street and know that you can have 3 or 4 Beers for just $12 to $16, accounting for a Buck a Pop for the Barkeep. Now that's pretty good. I have had the best times hanging at Blue & Gold with some friends. You sit at the Bar or get into a nice comfy booth, drink your Beers ($3 PBR'S), relax, listen to the Music, Chit Chat, and just enjoy, and it's not going to cost you The Shirt Off Your Back.

Yes, you can have 4 Beers, tip included for the price of 1 Rip-Off Drink at one of those Rip-Off Joints. And if you are Dumb enough to have four drinks in one of those places, guess what it's going to cost you? About $75 my friend.

Well, do the Math, and if you can afford $75 for only 4 drinks, God Bless You. And if you can't, you've got an alternative. Right, your local $3.00 PBR Joint. They're a God-Send.
