985 Fifth a Week Later... Raindrops On the Empty Pavement

I had a thing at the Met this morning, and on the way back to the office walked by 985 Fifth Avenue. That's the building from which Eliot Spitzer dashed a week ago today to go resign as New York's governor.

Last week, the apartment building--which Mr. Spitzer's father Bernard developed in the late 1960's--teemed with gawkers and media. Today, raindrops smacked the empty pavement outside.

My colleague Eliot ("spelled just like the former governor") Brown has a piece on the prospects for the city's larger development projects now that David Paterson's governor. And speaking of Mr. Paterson, political ace reporter Azi Paybarah has a piece on His Excellency.
