Midtown covers more ground than 59th Street. It goes as far down as the upper thirties IIRC. That's a mile from 59th Street. What time did you drive to and from work? Phil, why should he answer when you refuse to "act maturely" and answer the same question? Oh thats right, you never answer questions. You are the self-appointed and annointed NetCop....YOU ask the questions!!! ROTFLOL!!!!! -- "A nickel isn't worth a dime today." - Y. Berra |
