Built in 1934 by the New York Central Railroad, it was designed to hold two hundred and twenty-seven fully laden freight cars, which arrived and departed thirty feet above the ground, at the end point of the elevated tracks that would eventually become known as the… Source link

Google CEO Sundar Pichai (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) ASSOCIATED PRESS How can you say we are sort of out of the pandemic without saying we’re out of the pandemic?

The acceleration of remote work has created an entirely new category of long-term travel, according to Airbnb (ABNB) CEO Brian Chesky. Now, he’s joining the ranks, opting to run his global company from a different Airbnb listing every few weeks — armed with nothing more than a laptop and good WiFi.  “I think that we’re living through probably the biggest change to travel since the advent of commercial flying, because the entire identity of travel is evolving,” he said, in an interview… Source link
