The Bard Of Long Island City Speaketh
NUMEROUS analogies have been made between the investigative reporting of Woodward & Bernstein and LICtalk. Though these two sets of highly regarded journalists cover different subject matter and separate era’s, the disclosures they have all uncovered are equally monumental. In their own way.

If you want to catch the professional runners be there by 9:45am, otherwise the waves start coming through around 11am and continue until ~2pm.
