I am not sure if I am allowed to rant on this thing, but I think I have decided what I want to do after I die and come back. I was walking to work this morning and counted 16 buildings with scaffolding on them and only 3 of them actually had people working on them. This made me wonder what the heck all the scaffolding is for:
- Perhaps Pataki has a new deal with the mob as a front to launder more money - Tony Soprano’s Scaffolding Company?! I like the sound of that.
- Maybe it is some low budget The Union Square Business Improvement District project to allow people to walk home in the rain without an umbrella.
- Maybe Harvey W. Corbett and Raymond Hood were right back in the 20’s and this is the infrastructure for it.
- Maybe we as pedestrians have all been reduced to the Ultimate Dog Challenge’ Weave Poll Competition on our walk to work
Regardless, maybe Colgate can shed some light on this or better yet, I am gonna start my own scaffolding company this year and make lots of money by doing nothing.

ha! that is funny. I think you are missing the sarcasm of my post here. It is not the actual people who put up the scaffolding that I am curious about, it is the people who pay you guys to put the stuff up. You guys are genius for always having an incredible amount of work. ha!
