Good lord, that last pamphlet's headline is incredibly morbid to read now.

It almost seems like a sick joke

In retrospect, it most certainly does.

Yeah!. You remove the word "heaven" and replace it with "hell" and it is very disconcerting.

But somewhat off topic, how can cityscrapers splatter their logo over pictures which are obviously the property of the PANYNJ? I hope they do not plan on selling those pictures.
