NEG NAO Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 http://neoweather.com/Textforecast/2014/08/14/hurricane-season-will-awaken-targets-east-coast-southeast/ Florida is the most overdue place on the east coast for a major hurricane - they have been living a charmed life down there for several years with few storms of any intensity - which is dangerous in itself because many folks will not be fully prepared when the big one hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ag3 you were right, used those 5" GULP mullets in nuclear chicken and they rocked today! Tons of shorts and a 19.5" fluke. Oh and fishing in the ocean and getting the what was a solid keeper fluke to the boat a "sizable" thresher shark decided to call it lunch, on landed its head and that was it!

I had to go online and look this place up when I saw the huge tower going up while crossing the Throgs Neck bridge a few weeks back. The top floor will be the highest in NYC when it is finished.

NY_buildings_diagram_432_Park_Awenue_comparison__with_one_world_trade_ceters_and_empire_state_building_on_architecture_beast_01.png It's really something-the high end real estate market is booming like crazy in Manhattan. There's an even bigger tower planned for near Columbus Circle which is supposed to have an even taller roof height than the Willis Tower. There are also huge plans for Hudson Yards and elsewhere on 57th Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are calling it the Billionaire's Belt which will cast some very long shadows over Central Park. http://www.businessinsider.com/report-new-skyscrapers-will-cast-dark-shadows-over-much-of-central-park-2013-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There's a bunch of tall buildings in the pipeline. 432 Park Ave is the current one going up. A couple buildings have proposed heights of 1800 feet, which is a roof taller than the tip of the WTC needle. Those will be exciting to see go up.

Sundog Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 counting the antenna as part of the wtc height is ridiculous I agree. It's a cheap, crappy way to say the building is taller than it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 lol yea seriously, I think it will look ugly in the skyline. It really adds no character besides it just being a very thin, tall rectangular box. It's a den for billionaires to enjoy their view of Central Park.
