Tappan Zee Bridge demolished
they built a new one

Too many years ago, I spent thanksgiving in Nyack with a girl and her family, and we went over that bridge
Poor version of Ponte dei Sospiri. If you had taken her to Venice, she would have been your wife now.

I got my Italian geography mixed up. For a moment I thought you meant Ponte di Morandi, but that was Genova.

The New York City public schools system has 250 times as many administrators as the New York Catholic school system (6,000 administrators in the public school system versus 24 in the Catholic school system), even though New York public schools have only four times as many students as the Catholic schools.  In general, Catholic schools operate much more like private enterprises than unionized, public school monopolies, so it’s no surprise that Catholic schools don’t suffer from “administrative bloat” to the extent public schools do.
