One of NY's higher quality contractor's was taking down the building
next door and weakened NY Central's foundations. They told me that
there were huge cracks appearing in the walls upstairs. (A manager
there said the crew was the same one responsible in the accidental
destruction of a building on Orchard street a few years ago.)

NY Central takes orders and then sends up an intrepid staffer once a
day to pull the order. So they will get you paper just not on a while
you wait basis.

This was the situation as of last Wednesday. I think they were hoping
to get repaired and back to normal in a week or two.
