NYC - Page 2

Hooking up with NYPD is easy if you want a couple of hours of their time with no guarantees that they'll actually be there.
Most of these guys are so over worked it's not funny. And even if I could talk one of them into diving me around, if I'm in the middle of a run and they get a call, off the'll go and I'll have to start over.
Maybe if I make enough noise they'll cave in and send our sales guy for this area down with me. He'll bitch, but good at tuning that out.

<a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/parking/pidpindex.html">This</a> is a cool site I found. It has interactive maps of NYC that show where all of the parking lots and garages are.

I will probably be alone and the gear will be packed in two 1500 series Pelican cases.

Plus I'd have a laptop with me. I would probably look pretty conspicuous out of a vehicle. Plus carrying around, ummm a significant dollar value of ummm, not for the general public type gear would give me ulcers.
Plus for large portions of the testing I would need be on the street or at least be able to see the sky.

Well, my offer stands. The GTI is a good vehicle for this sort of thing; the rear can hold the gear under its deck, the hatch to it can be unlocked with the press of a button. Its ride is a little stiff, but it's nimble enough to get around.

Tell you what. Hold that thought.
Once I get more information on dates and if there is any hope of me talking one of the sales guys into coming down or not I may talk more details with you.

And anyone got leads on cheap tickets to Spamalot?

I hope not, 'cause then I'd feel stupider for paying a sucker's price.

Does it include distance to crack corners in the info? Now that would be useful ...

Undertoad · 05-19-2005, 04:18 PM

Eventually it will. Because they just announced one for Chicago...

Oh my word that's sweet.

Philadelphia needs one of these. Once John Street gets Philly fully set up for WiFi it would be the most useful page in the city.

Apparently about 5 blocks north of 290 and SW of 294 is the hot area for sex
and drugs in Chicago. Unfortunately it's also a hot area for homicide.

actually, depending upon tastes the higher end places in chicago (like The Drake) provide the same services with considerably less danger to one's well being. places like Excalibur, etc... are also known to be purveyors of vice related entertainment.

I can point you in the direction of cheap club drugs and transsexual hookers. They look so real, you can't even tell the difference.

Silent, your employer has a frighteningly mysterious homepage. I won't get one of those "firm knock on the door" visits to discuss the fact that I looked at will I?

You won't either, will you?

Nope. Our home page isn't hard to find so as long as you don't try and scan or hack it no one will take notice.

So what key words did you search on to find it?

Keywords? What keywords?
