He is actually showing some consideration with his scheduled departure time at least.

Arriving during evening rush hour is not too voter-friendly.

They are currently on the 22's. Do you think they will stay on 22 or go with 31-L

Matt, I agree, however, I am not there so I am not sweating it. Come to think of it, in the span of his catastroministration, I don't think he's ever not traveled at douche bag hours when JFK is concerned.

Where were you? Brooklyn Bridge?

Where were you? Brooklyn Bridge?
Brooklyn Heights Promenade at the end of Clark St. Perfect, unobstructed view of JRB, though you need a slightly longer lens than what I was using (28-135) for good photos. Also helps if the sun is out, and helps more if it's in the morning or early afternoon, otherwise it's backlit. Actually thinking of putting together a spotting guide for it.
