Summary

Following the driest October recorded in over 150 yeaR, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a drought watch and urged residents to take shorter showers, fix dripping faucets, and implement water-conservation plans.

The city is also repairing a leaky aqueduct, leading to increased reliance on reservoirs in the northern suburbs, which also experienced a drier-than-average October.

    You’re thinking of Philadelphia. You just have to tell New Yorkers they’re tough and badass, but also smart and sophisticated, and super unique for doing <thing>.

      I thought that the issue with Philly is that it didn’t matter whether you asked them or used reverse psychology because they won’t listen and just give you the finger for opening your fuckin mouth.

        What you have to understand about Philly is that they already hate themselves more than anyone else.
