57th street

Like everything else once celebrated but eventually discarded for being too successful, it’s been out of vogue for just long enough to be good again.

Despite rampant sidewalk-blocking all along the route, the NYPD, so vigilant in protecting the public from this crime during both Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter demonstrations over the years, were nowhere to be seen.

It's a bird, it's a...crane! Sorry, let's try that again.
