Wtf?
suspcious package found.
not sure if cartoon network had to do with it or terrorist again.
MOONITES!
The cam won't load - it must be getting hit a lot right now.
After the recent guy was captured, it's not totally a surprise that this happened. No one works alone.
i remember just after 9/11 people would set their briefcases down as they got their paper or threw somethign away and hysteria would take over. people see others running and take off too.
part of me wants it to be something to justify the fear while part of me wants it to be innocuous and this was all just a fire drill.
I am guessing this sort of thing will be frequently occurring for a while

I only assume so, thats why i posted as welcome back last time. This is going to be an ongoing occurance till either a) someone gets bored, or b) something goes off.

haha, i just read that it was a cooler left in front of a hotel. nobody takes coolers to hotels.
someone is probably going to stop for gas and tyo grab a drink from their cooler and realize it's missing. they will then hear that times square was evacuated and feel like a complete jackass.
NYPD - x-ray completed: info inconclusive

I think time will pass without incident and the hype will again fall back to normal.
I just hope for all that option b doesn't happen, but one of these times those make the beast with two backsers will succeed, unfortunately.
People are walking around again. it was just food. lol
Cooler contained water bottles.

Where do you get gas if you live in Manhattan?
Is it just Midtown that doesn't have stations or the majority of Manhattan?

Who drives in Manhattan?
For many parts of Manhattan, theres only gas stations toward the east and west where the rivers are. past 9th ave, and past park ave. youll find a few inside the island when you get somewhere thats more residential, but even then its very few and the price is :o. $2.25 in brooklyn $2.90 in the city.

$2.25? When was the last year you bought gas? As of right now, the cheapest gas in the city is $2.97 in the Bronx and the most expensive is $3.97, also in the Bronx. My buddy used to sell gasoline at the highest prices in NYC. He no longer sells gasoline. Strange enough, he wasn't making enough on the gasoline. Problem is wholesale price changes station to station depending on location and quantity pumped. Anyway, the Shell on 96th and 1st is reasonable, as are the Mobile on Houston and the Mobile on Pike.
Oh sorry guys that number is NOT current. That price point is stuck in my head because i got stranded in the city once and had to push my bike to the gas station down by ~170's and riverside.
Its ~$2.90 last time i filled up at the mobil near me for regular. By my rule of thumb it should be about $3.60 as the cheapest in city.
Cali Gas is suppose to be ridculously expensive isnt it?

Definitely more than the other states (except probably Hawaii).

I'm not so sure that I trust either your thumb or any of the rules you wrote down on it.
Currently 2.80 up my way.
