I can't imagine that anything built today will last 140 years. They just don't make things like they used to.
We were interviewed by a reporter yesterday on our way out of Jersey City. We weren't heading into the city, but we were at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel when we were approached by a very pretty, young black reporter with a camera and a mic. I was KICKING myself afterward that we didn't find out what her station was or on which news program her report would appear.
Ho hum. I've looked around a bit tonight to find my and Matt's confused mugs, but no dice. We were surprised to hear that the work on the tunnel from NY into NJ off Hudson Street would take FIVE YEARS!
We'll be into the last year of the next presidency when the construction is done and the tunnel is reopened fully. I want to be the project manager on that project!
