April 18, 2008

Pope Benedict XVI has arrived 15 minutes ahead of time (his plane was scheduled to land at 945am at JFK Airport). He is finally in New York for a 3-day visit. If you are a Jersey City resident planning to go to NY, make sure you know the street closures. And of course, DO NOT drive. Avoid NY if you don’t have any plans to see the Pope.
