Wait, WTF is up with 1155 Avenu of the Americas at 44th street (with the Thomas Pink storefront)? Isn't that a midtown office for the WSJ?

It's just a matter of time until the Forigners take over ALL the real estate in Manhattan and we end up with The Bed-Stuy Journal.

I would totally read the Midtown Journal. If it was online, and free, that is.
