In America’s oldest cities, it was where you came from that mattered. In new urban centers like Seattle, everyone thinks it’s where you’re going that counts. But New York has always known that those focused on the past and the future were both wrong: It’s how you plan to get there that makes all the difference. That’s why shipping fortunes were made in Lower Manhattan, followed by larger fortunes in railroads. That’s why, even though the car business was domiciled in Detroit, the supply of gasoline that made those cars run was controlled from 26 Broadway, the headquarters of Standard Oil. Today, New York is at the forefront of multiple, simultaneous revolutions in getting from Point A to Point Z. If Governor Andrew Cuomo has his way, driverless cars will soon be tested on the streets of the Financial District. If Uber has their way, flying taxis are in our future. And if Amazon gets a vote, drones will be delivering packages Downtown before too long. All of which seems to prove that as long as Lower Manhattan finds new ways to keep going and going, it will never be gone.
