Hurricane Sandy is lurching her way up the coast, heading for us all. Yesterday, the MTA announced it was shutting down trains in NYC at 7 pm and buses at 9pm. Here are some pictures from their official Flickr page taunting us with how delightfully empty all the stations are right now.

So who can now lay claim to the dubious honor?

New York City, 2011? Is there a new gold rush in the Big Apple?

There is for Queens native Raffi Stepanian, who literally struck gold after discovering he could make up to $300 a day by ‘mining’ the sidewalks in Manhattan’s Diamond District for the tiny bits of gold, platinum and rare gems that fall from the clothes of workers when they leave their shops.

Don't tell that to residents, however, especially the 370,000 who were evacuated from their homes. Even though Irene didn't live up to its doomsday hype, transit and travel to and from the city were affected. This of course means what is important to New York City is important to the world, as always.
