Time Square Manhole Explosion post by Suzannah B. Troy

Photo from this link and article click on this link but here is my unique take as an artist, activist, New Yorker blogger on a manhole explosion by Times Square a day after the Time Square Bomb Square.

Have you all forgotten the steam pipe explosion by Grand Central?

Mike Bloomberg put a reckless tsunami of development a head of infrastructure concerns and the safety of New York and this nightmares are way too frequent and again today we can say thank goodness no one was injured or died and it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Read the article and you all know my take on this....welcome to king Mike Bloomberg's hideous new New York where he pushed a way too rapid tsunami of community crushing development on old New York's infrastructure.   

We New Yorkers have grown used to the many man hole covers exploding, gas leaks, water main breaks like this one in the East Village where I called tv stations because it looked like the East River came to 2nd Avenue http://www.ny1.com/6-bronx-news-content/69978/east-village-water-main-break-leaves-thousands-without-water.

After since Mike Bloomberg and his reckless socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden pushed this reckless development for their developer friends street conditions are hellish to down right deadly from explosions to holes so big in the streets and sidewalks it is amazing New Yorkers and visitors do not resemble war causalities and it has nothing to do with terrorism but the reckless stupidity and greedy that drove Wall Street to implosion.

"Midnight Cowboy" Featured By Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York City

I got an email from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that they are going to screen the classic "Midnight Cowboy" in New York City, March 16th. You can gain a "taste" for the film from this fan-made trailer:

The Academy reports: "The 1969 Best Picture winner “Midnight Cowboy” will screen for New York audience as part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ “Monday Nights with Oscar®” series on Monday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York City.

"Academy Award®-winning producer Jerome Hellman will join Academy Award-nominated actress Sylvia Miles in a post-screening discussion. David V. Picker, the executive-in-charge at United Artist during the film’s development, will moderate the onstage conversation, which also will include actor Bob Balaban, cinematographer Adam Holender, composer John Barry and costumer designer Ann Roth.

“Midnight Cowboy” stars Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight as two mainstream society outcasts who forge an unlikely friendship on the lonely and unforgiving streets of New York City. The film endures as a powerful story of friendship, compassion and redemption.

The tickets are cheap: $5 and the DGA Theatre is located at 110 West 57th Street in New York City. The box office opens at 5:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All seating is unreserved, which means get their early. For more information, call (212) 821-9251
