 On a Saturday morning at about 9am the concourse level of the Empire State Plaza is a very lonely place. I wandered this long expanse of hallway for nearly a half hour and encountered only a few people who were there because they had to be. This concourse extends the entire length of the Empire State Plaza connecting the Capitol at one end with the NYS Museum at the opposite end. Along the way it provides access to the four 20-story Agency buildings, to the 40 story Corning Tower, the Egg and Convention Center, and provides wide array of services and shops at this level. In many ways this concourse is the heart that pumps life up into the towers via banks and banks of elevators. Visit this same place at 9 am on a weekday and you would not be able to stand in this place long enough to shoot a picture without being run over by someone rushing to work or to an appointment with some bureaucrat. Bus after bus unloads to the area to the left of the doors. Walking the concourse on a lazy weekend day can be an overwhelming sensation. The scale of the place boggles the mind. And without people to give it a human touch, it takes on a life of its own. WOW Update! I did a brief search tonight. I followed one of my usually favorite browsing techniques to stumble into sites previously unknow to me. I start by following link from my own comments and then work through comments jumping from site to site. I did find a few new sites to add to my news feeds, but alas, no WOW tonight. Maybe tomorrow! | |
