Videos and podcasts play in their own players, from two seconds before each line. Articles and documents are read aloud by an AI voice from ElevenLabs, reading only the words already on each yank's page, or by your device's own voice if you choose it. It keeps playing if you go to another page.

    Monstrous NY shopping mall that aimed to spark troubled downtown devolves into bane of Dem-run city

    A cautionary tale about a New Rochelle mall that spent nearly three decades proving that proximity to a city isn't the same as belonging to one.

    1. It's like Oz, and Oz isn't real. And who's the wizard? distilled
    2. It's a mall next to a main street, and they call themselves separate. You don't have people saying, 'Hey, let's go to New Roc tonight.' It's antithetical to a successful project. distilled
    3. “I grew up coming here and it used to be so lively. Now, it's all dim and dead.” verbatim
    4. The smell of urine, elevators not working, rats and plenty of homeless in areas of the garage. The fire system does not work after the city just installed a new one, most exit signs are not lit. distilled
    5. The $200 million New Roc City mall opened in 1999 with IMAX, a Space Shot thrill ride, and a Monroe College campus — and now hosts an Audi dealership, roving youth gangs, abandoned cars, and a broken fire system. distilled
