The Splash-View Post-Mortem: Where Is Everybody?

It's the first warm night in a long time and streets of Chelsea are...dead.

53F at night and virtually no one is out and about, whereas only a week or so ago when it was cold, everywhere was--if not necessarily packed--full of action.

I have my theories:

• The Rapture happened and we're either saved or left behind.
• People are nervous about the upcoming eclipse (thanks astrobarry)
• That many people were at the Roxy closing?
• That many people are prepping for St. Patrick's Day?
• The Depression started without any final warning.
• New York finally got too expensive.

Inquiring minds want to know.
