Bomb scare on 23rd street

As I was coming back from the gym about an hour ago, I saw the mess of traffic that had accumulated at 14th Street and First Avenue.
First Avenue was blocked from 14th all the way up past 23rd. A suspicious looking package was found in the 23rd and First area.
Ironically, it's during mini-crisis like these these that downtown Manhattan turns into a pedestrians' paradise. Can't tell you how much I love it when streets and avenues are closed down here. The quiet makes you forget you're in the heart of the world's capital.
I can't wait for that $8/vehicle charge to enter downtown goes into effect.
