Since we’re gonna go through the looking glass, strap on your tin foil helmets people! You know what else is "within n walking distance " of this sinister facility?
- Wall Street
- Federal Courts
- prisons
The conclusion is obvious

And the NY Federal Reserve, NYPD HQ, City Hall. But this is lower Manhattan we’re talking about. Everything there is within walking distance of everything else there.

We’ll see how it all turns out, but I’m not super confident.
We’ll also see how the Maritime Building turns out too, there may be too much rust to make it into anything more useful than the Governor’s Island ferry terminal.
The Bailey house, an unexpected classic out of left field! Great interior. What an era.

AT&T is the government’s most active spying partner.
Although, people in the telecom industry seem to have known this for a long time. 2002-2005, I worked for a small ISP and the various engineers I met all had stories about how lots of places they’d worked had a room everyone colloquially referred to as “The FBI Closet”.

Suspiciously devoid of graffiti. Does it open up and eat potential defacers?

There’s history going all the way back to Western Union and Postal Telegraph cooperation with the military during WWI. As “secret” as it all was supposed to be, people in the industry have always been aware on some level.
