they will have generators running for the event organizers and media in Central Park, while Coney Island just today is beginning to receive vital assistance
a better thing might be to ask every one who registered to run in the Marathon to show up at volunteer work centers on Marathon day, and in as much as the Marathan organizers ARE very well-connected people in New York City, I would think they’d have no problem obtaining information from the city about where volunteers could be helpful the most
Drudge has a story about NONunion work crews being turned away in NJ. I wonder if that is happening in NY. (remember the snowplow slowdown that killed a baby?)
The effete elite areas of NYC are fine and clueless.
NYC does not deserve the marathon.
the savages going nuts b/c they are dependent on government, the politicians making hay, the red cross handing out cookies not blankets, the delusional reporters who think they matter that much when the rest of the country has dealt with far worse than a mere cat. TWO windstorm.
The NY officials skimmed on the disaster prep money (ala N.O.), have inadequate building codes, and have dwellers witn no notion of being self suffient.
There are too many OTHER marathons that deserve the money and attention.
