Hot town, summer in the City…or Citi, if you will. The temperatures in the New York-Metro area have ratcheted up significantly in the last week and a half. In typical NYC summer fashion, the mercury has reached the 90s, bringing with it shirt-drenching humidity. Par for the course in these parts, for sure, but for [...]
Law still bullish on the system even with all of the promotions.
