Is it a done deal? Nope. Could they switch it up and choose Chicago? Sure I guess. But take a moment and really try to imagine what this place would be like if that happened.

Awful, right?
Anyhow, we all know that being the turd in the punch bowl is kind of your thing. It's actually become somewhat endearing.

Pay no attention to that noise. Just bitter beans I suppose. I haven't followed this process in great detail, but I do know that checking on certain threads for progress in this forum was basically reading a conversation about Amazon coming to this city, or that. And now that we're actually close to the real deal, we aren't supposed to talk about it? GTFOH.
Amazon could still pull the plug. They could still decide they don't even want or need a new headquarters. Will anyone in New York lose sleep? Hell no. LIC is booming already. But it would be nice to see this take shape, for sure.
