Manage episode 501567597 series 3606254
In the final installment of her summer signal-searching series, Sue returns to familiar ground—New York City—with fresh eyes and a future-focused lens. From the overwhelming holiday crowds at Rockefeller Center to the evolving fast-food landscape and the city's ever-growing skyline, she explores what these signals might mean for the future of urban life, tourism, and sustainability. This episode blends surprise, curiosity, and cautious optimism as Sue questions whether our post-pandemic behaviors reflect any lessons learned—and how innovation is showing up in the most unexpected places.
Whether you're a seasoned New Yorker or a wide-eyed visitor, this episode invites you to pause and consider what our cities are signaling about the world to come.
