NOAA to East: Beware of coming 'Frankenstorm

[garbon]

I typically use between 59th street (which is start of central park) and 34th (as they you start getting distinct neighborhoods like Chelsea). For Lower Manhattan, I'd say 14th street and below.

[Grey Fox]

That makes sense. I don't know why but I was under the impression that Upper started at 34th street.

Per google, midtown is everything from 14th to the ends of the UES and UWS. Wiki has 31st to 59th street.

Are both Upper Side rich Neighborhoods?

Here's an interactive map but generally yes though depends on how far you're calling the UES and UWS.

Just imagining how one would live on that with the COL up there, s'all.

Well that map details out where you'd live. You could even do the LES what with its ranges in the 15-30k.

I don't even care about COL, I just can't imagine how you could live there.  The place is packed like sardines.  My blood pressure spikes anytime I have to go there.

My parents still don't have power.  They took a shower at the YMCA this morning.  Are they: poors.

Power != shower.

So what was the deal with the non-union electrical workers from Alabama being turned away by union thugs in Joisey?   Was there some sort of strike going on?

I haven't seen the specific story, but that isn't surprising especially for East Cost unions.  They would probably rather let people sit in the dark rather than let scabs take their money for turning the lights back on.

Stuff like that is a big part of why I was reluctant to join the union, but like everything else unions are a lot more mellow out here and there wasn't a lot of choices if I was to stay in the industry.

Supposedly the IEWU wanted them to abide by union rules, and they told them to get stuffed. ROLL TIDE.

Why didn't you break your unions in America?
