Good morning, Rochester

You will never convince me that bedside rounds are a net benefit for patient care.

Hard to see how the NYU MSTP recovers from the reputational hit of pausing admissions and rescinding prior acceptances, especially at this point in the cycle.

Absolutely bizarre and callous move by the leadership.

From Supermarket Site to Logistics Center in NYC Simone Development Cos. has acquired a vacant retail property in NYC’s Bronx borough, with plans to convert the asset into industrial space.
