After all, it only takes the U.N. opening to totally paralyze NYC traffic, and the security for that is nothing compared to what we will see at the DNC - and the Republic Convention is taking place over Penn Station, in the heart of the west side, NOT smack on the East River.....Will be fun to watch.... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Don Dory Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 10:14 AM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] How is life in Boston this week? I am sort of curious what several hundred thousand people will do when Penn Station becomes security central. I suppose they could shut down the tunnels with shuttle buses coming from NJ if train passengers get off in Newark. That would be a sight. As an aside, during the Olympics in Atlanta, the same thing occurred with traffic. For about a month you could go just about anywhere in no time, the only exception was the trains, sardines have more space than was available in a train car.

Because the media so successfully convinced people that the sky was falling, everyone fled town, the city is essentially empty, and there are no problems what so ever. Well, okay, I'm sure that if someone IS at work this week, and work is right around the Fleet Center, it's a pain in the butt. But other than that, no problem. What I can't wait to see is what happens to midtown Manhattan when the RNC hits town and an already hopeless traffic mess is magnified. ;-) B.

All of my friends in Boston, The news is all about security shutting down traffic in Boston both auto and mass transit. So, how has security affected you?
