Pre-Hurricane Irene walk around town – August 27, 2011

I headed out for a walk around 8:20 this morning to take in the pre-hurricane sights in the city. As expected, the streets were pretty empty because that is typical for early morning in Manhattan on a weekend. And yet, it was eerie to walk around town knowing that intense weather was just hours away.
