When my colleague @maxrn.bsky.social discovered fmr NYC Mayor Eric Adams had been hired to convince Wisconsin residents to allow a 150MW data center to be built at the site of an old paper mill, we had MANY questions. So Max headed to Wisconsin Rapids to answer them. His delightful dispatch here:

Eric Adams Promised to Pitch a Wisconsin Data Center With 'Rigor.' His Failure Was Spectacular

Hell Gate went to Wisconsin Rapids to trace the footsteps of the former mayor of New York City.

What the hell was Eric Adams doing selling a data center in Wisconsin? How did this happen? And why did it all go so wrong so very very fast? For @hellgatenyc.com I went to Wisconsin Rapids to find out, and add another chapter to the Eric Adams lore. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-w...

Yes you could spend so so much money decking Sunnyside Yards OR you could just BRT Northern Boulevard and demolish the car dealerships and build so, so much housing in this transit-rich, wildly important stretch of the borough. Good to see everyone coming around to the latter idea!
