For the 2nd straight week, the Office of General Services had to move the Wednesday night concert at the Empire State Plaza indoors due to rain.
This week's headliner, 80's star Sheila E, was supposed to headline last year's Fabulous 4th, but that was rained out, too. The event went on a few days later without Sheila.
That's no way to live "The Glamorous Life".....!

In the wake of Saturday's attempted "assassination" of former president Donald Trump, WROW went back to airing CBS radio news briefs, but it lasted only a couple of days.
A special report feed ran during Brother Lou Roberts' Saturday night soiree, and, on Monday, the familiar CBS Radio cues were heard between 5 & 8 am, prior to and during Magic in The Morning. Morning host Ben Patten was caught off guard on Monday, and, as a result, his usual chat with WRGB meteorologist Alyssa Caroprese was postponed, and listeners only heard a pre-recorded forecast from Caroprese throughout the day.
On Tuesday, however, the cues remained, but Patten was back reading the national headlines himself between 5 & 8:30 am. Apparently, Albany/Pamal Broadcasting owner James Morrell felt the national news feeds needed to return in the short term because of how important the Trump case was.
Oh, well, it was good while it lasted.
===============================================
More blight along Congress Street between 3rd & 4th streets.
Vivian's Lounge, a neighborhood bar, lost its liquor license a few weeks back, and has to petition the State Liquor Authority to get back in business.
Across the street, La Victoria, a Mexican restaurant, is now open Thursday-Tuesday, with Wednesday as an off day. Probably the slowest business day of the week. We'll see how long that lasts.
In an effort to ward off panhandlers and allegedly homeless types, the owners of Flippers Barber Shop at the corner of Congress & 4th, now have a sign stating the police will be contacted if anyone trespasses. The sign's been there a few weeks, and, so far, everyone's complied.
The city does need to address the issues of homelessness, real or imagined. Yesterday.
