Everything is always changing in the big city. Don’t expect the same street you walk down today to look the same in a few months’ time. It most probably won’t. Construction is just a way of life in New York and you will often see scaffolding appearing. There’s no point in allocating landmarks (apart from the famous sights of course – they shouldn’t disappear any time soon!) because businesses and low-rise buildings can be demolished and replaced in a New York minute. Construction work isn’t the prettiest thing to see in the city, but it’s a symbol of the ever-changing landscape of New York City.
