Guess Who's in Town

With the Pope in town this weekend, several sections of the City are essentially shut down as security zones. My office building is about four blocks from St. Patrick's Cathedral where he held mass this morning, and it's right in the middle of a locked-down area. (I believe the security area is from Sixth Avenue to Park Avenue and from 46th Street up to 54th Street -- if not exactly, it's close). We were told that if we needed to get into the office building this weekend, we would have to have a special letter issued from our building and our official ID. This information would be submitted to the Midtown police department so we could get through the various access points. Even New York Cardinal Egal was carded this morning. It must be a ghost town down there today! For those of you familiar with that area of NYC, it includes a huge number of high-end shops, Rockefeller Center, and iconic NYC sites. What must all of the tourists be doing on this beautiful day?
