A fabulous piece of reporting about violin repair shops in the NY Times, that will probably be edited out of the story pretty soon:
"Even in an age when cranes are toppling, concrete strength tests are suspected of being faked and entire building facades collapse, the Tanen repair shop has managed to draw attention from the city."
They might have added a note about the city's failure to provide safe infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians, too. Or how about the state and city's inability to keep people on seizure medications from driving dump trucks and mowing down pedestrians.
From:
Caution: Violin Work Not Allowed in This Zone: A violin repair shop in a residential neighborhood runs afoul of the same department charged with overseeing the safety of New York City’s buildings.
