So, since the last half of June things were rather bleak around here, and we didn't feel like playing the anniversary game. But there's too much currently going on to allow much time for licking of wounds. Instead, Let's look at all we've accomplished, and learned, over the past 13 months.

Every large edifice starts with a foundation.
There are executives at 250 Broadway who are learning that the Authority's foundation is not beneath the various buildings in the Developments.

Now, the closest Ruben Franco gets to his old office at 250 Broadway is when he visits a local bar in the City Hall area.
