Not just a post-pandemic record, but a record for all of time.
Clearly, our big cities are all dying.

I think they all will be back to normal if not already and if not exceeding pre-pandemic.
Suburbs and 15 minute cities can only be so much joy... eventually people will get bored of them and being stuck in the house due to remote work and crippling depression and will be back to the hustle and bustle. There is a unique charm to the crazy person yelling at 642 am on a Monday morning in the subway... a unique charm! And people miss that, people miss that!
Glad Michigan Ave is doing well. Now we just need most of our cities to all boom at the same time. Record crane activity and construction!
And Santas. Good old Santacon. Great for the holidays. Santa's in every city. Drunk and remorseful and angry Santa's!
