NYC's beautiful Farley Post Office Building, where the GOP will provide space for 15,000 journalists, across the street from Madison Square Garden. That's the famous "Neither snow, nor rain...." motto running across the top above the columns.

BTW, 007 buffs might recall the scene in "Live and Let Die" where Roger Moore has to steer the out-of-control taxi cab from the back seat, and crashes on the steps of this very same building.


As of today, the facilities the Dems will provide for their press corps.

I would guess that the Farley Post Office Building is named for Jim Farley (1888-1976), FDR's first Postmaster General, who was from New York. Farley broke with FDR over his decision to run for a third term and challenged him for the nomination in 1940 (according to William DeGregorio, The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents).
