Dark Millie Marquee!

OMG! How sad!



:)

OMG! Everybody buy tickets!! We have to save them!


But honestly, on a serious note, this IS costing NYC MILLIONS of dollars in tickets between the shows and the Mets game and everything else that has been cancelled. The NYC economy doesn't need another hit like that. Especially after the musician strike this year costing as much as did.

What other Marqee's are black tonight?

I meant it is awful that this had to happen to them.

There were far more serious problems to contend with than just empty theaters. Imagine being stranded in a subway! I understand they were all led to safety, but those subway tunnels are pitch dark and infested with rats. Pity the elderly and those who were hospitalized!

Long Island was rather serene. All the homes in our neighborhood were lit by candles. In our case, we have a few oil lamps that were put to good use. A small battery operated radio kept us informed and we enjoyed a nice barbeque and a few chess games.

One remarkable aspect of all this was that the skies never looked more beautiful. Without ambient light the stars were brilliant and awe inspiring.

Yeah, we didn't get to see what kind of job Julie Andrews did directing THE BOYFRIEND, but we were safe and the evening had its own charms.

well on Ch 7, they showed how in this hospital in Westchester had 8 or 12,dont remember kids in life support and the generator at the hospital did not work and they were able to transfer them to one that did, but most of hte children were infants and you also have to think about the kids in incubators so not all hospital cases were fine.

"1st thing I thought of when I heard...Terrorists. 2nd thing...Broadway!"

That's exactly what I thought. How sick that my mind turns directly to Broadway in a crisis. Although I'm sure you can all understand.

I am there too. Sad, yes, I know.

You're hilarious FindingNamo LOL :)

Score a point for the sassy humored Namo

"Go and tell New York,
to grab a piece of Cork
and join that Blackout over Broadway!
Ev'rybody's gonna be dancin' on air,
when they hear 'em playin' 'Swanee River' in Times Square!
Ev'ry southern lass is gonna cook with gas,
and boy, that southern cookin's okay!
And when ya hear them moan -
on that slide trombone -
You'll wanna black-up for that Blackout over Broadwaaay!"
