It’s kinda lonely at the top
I’m not talking about me, oh no, even though with this view I often feel like a princess in her tower.

It’s not often one can find an empty spot of this size in the heart of Manhattan, where every available inch is too valuable to be left unused.

… thus spake Mercurius, and lo and behold:

Bearing the mark
Some are still standing. Others may already be gone. Such is the fast changing fashion in New York City – here today, gone tomorrow. So fast, it makes you wonder: were they ever really there?
