'Sexting': A New Crisis for Relationships?
'Sexting'… So what is it anyway? 'Sexting' by analogue is sending or accepting sexually absolute letters or photos by adaptable phones or added amusing media. This is a trend that has added steadily through the years as added and added humans acquire activated phones as their capital adjustment of communication. In fact, 88% of adults acquire affianced in some affectionate of 'sexting' aural the ambience of a accord according to a cardboard called: "Reframing Sexting as a Positive Accord Behavior." 2
Is 'sexting' added accepted than we acquire or are these analysis studies just axis up coincidences with this blazon of behavior? Emily Stasko, at Drexel's University in Philadelphia, surveyed 870 heterosexual individuals and activate that added 'sexting' was associated with a college akin of animal satisfaction. 2
These are just two studies, you ability say, and don't represent the citizenry at large. Well, addition way to attending at this is that technology is something that a lot of humans (in beyond cities or burghal areas) apply on daily. Humans are actual complex with amusing media on adaptable phones, computers & tablets. They are application these amusing media applications for assorted affidavit (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Tumblr, Vine, Snapchat, etc). Is there any acumen to think, even for a minute, that humans are not application technology to date or enhance their present relationships? Humans all over the country (and the world) acquire admission to texting/messaging, amusing media, and video chatting (Facetime, Viper, etc.). It is acutely simple to use any of these modalities in the ambience of a relationship.
So how do humans appearance 'sexting?
The botheration is that not anybody defines 'sexting' the aforementioned way. Is it the sending of sexually absolute or annoying messages? Is it primarily the sending of animal images? Some humans see it as one, the added or even as both. This has been cryptic because there acquire been assorted opinions about the subject. 'Sexting' may not be bound to just messaging but could aswell cover the use of Twitter, Facebook, Skype and Facetime, as able-bodied as, added amusing media platforms. This could aswell beggarly sending sexually absolute video or assuming nude physique locations while video conferencing. This complicates affairs even added and broadens the accepted definition.
Most humans acquire absolutely broiled up to the abstraction of 'sexting' and according to the research, ahead cited, a actual top bulk of humans acquire affianced (and abide to engage) in this behavior. These analysis studies and surveys acquire focused on how 'sexting' can advance relationships and rekindled sex lives. However, there is a darker ancillary as well. This commodity focuses on those individuals that use 'sexting' as a way of gluttonous excitement, sex, and/or absorption alfresco of their present relationship. The curve are sometimes blurred with commendations to basic or internet relationships because they are not beheld as accepting "real."
Is 'Sexting' alfresco of a accord advised cheating?
That is a acceptable question. We already apperceive that 'sexting' or sending these sexually annoying letters can absolutely enhance a committed relationship. However, what happens if humans advanced these types of letters alfresco of a committed relationship? How is 'sexting' beheld a allotment of the accepted population?
"A 2013 Huffington Post commodity of 1,000 U.S. adults activate that 85 percent of women and 74 percent of men accede 'sexting' a anatomy of cheating." 1
'Sexting' alfresco a accord can be agitative abnormally for those individuals that are searching for 'that added something' in their lives. Perhaps these individuals adulation their spouses or ally but assume to acquire 'lost' the amore or activity in their relationship. For added individuals, maybe they are searching to acquisition anyone abroad online or in a basic faculty (i.e. via texting, online websites or added media) that they can coquette with and is advised "safe." That could abatement into the "grass is greener on the added ancillary of the fence" scenario. A accepting may be actual blessed or mostly annoyed with their accomplice but anticipate that they ability be able to acquisition something bigger alfresco their relationship.
Other scenarios could cover men or women that assume to feel as if they are airy to their ally or spouses due to over ambitious careers, children, brainy illness, concrete illness, alcoholism, etc. These individuals may acquisition that through 'sexting' with a 3rd activity that they can feel loved, adapted and even sexy. It is through this media (and possibly added reasons) that humans absolve their accomplishments and acquaint themselves that they are not cheating because there is no concrete relationship.
Is this behavior wrong? Is it cheating? There are assorted affidavit why an alone may adjudge to appoint in 'sexting' alfresco of his/her accord but what is the ambition exactly? Some humans may acquire that due to the basic attributes of 'sexting' that it isn't necessarily wrong. 'Sexting' doesn't acquire to absorb concrete acquaintance and it could just be chalked down to a simple fantasy (or something that they don't intend to pursue). It may acquire started as something actual banal (like work-related letters beatific to a colleague, aide or adolescent student) but again it confused advanced to a added animal blazon of relationship.
However if a accepting is deleting texts, ambuscade corpuscle buzz bills, or accepting backstairs about this basic accord again it seems that he/she has become added complex with anyone added than a apron or partner. This accepting is now cerebration about addition person, sending pictures to that person, and possibly adulatory he/she could absorb time with that added person. If we are searching at the bloom of a alliance or relationship, any time anyone abroad becomes involved, that bloom has now been compromised. We could aswell altercate that the charge against the accord or alliance has waned because of the 3rd activity that is now allotment of the equation.
Case Examples:
Maria and Thomas (not their absolute names) acquire been affiliated for 3 years but acquire been calm for about 12 years. Thomas had been ambidextrous with all-overs issues for his accomplished activity but had developed a bubbler addiction to aloof the acute animosity that he dealt with on a circadian basis. This bubbler botheration had become so bad area Maria had activate him anesthetized out on the couch a few times afterwards plan and he spent a acceptable bulk of time bubbler with colleagues. This bearings acquired her to feel actual alone and cagey of Thomas. She didn't feel as if Thomas admired or adapted her and that his bubbler had become his new relationship. Maria absitively to acquaintance a above macho acquaintance from academy with which she began a 'sexting' relationship. She never beatific any sexually absolute photos of herself to this added accepting but the letters they aggregate were actual provocative.
Maria never had any intentions of in fact cheating on Thomas but she just acquainted abandoned and unattractive. She approved accompaniment with anyone that showed absorption in her and chose to abide this 'sexting' accord for a brace of months. She mentioned that this accepting fabricated her feel adult and desirable. She aswell acquainted acceptable that anyone was absorbed in her and although this accepting requested to accommodated her in person, she never did. Maria had some answerability that she was active sending letters to anyone added than her bedmate yet she continued. She got so balked with Thomas that she even 'sexted' this acquaintance of chastening while her bedmate was next to her on the couch.
Now, although this behavior of Maria's was not accepting a concrete activity it was an affecting affair. Maria was annoyed of aggravating to get through to her bedmate about his bubbler and abridgement of absorption in her. She spent a acceptable bulk of time searching for amore alfresco her accord because her bedmate was not accessible to her. If Thomas activate out about this 'sexting' accord that Maria had started, he was devastated that she would do such a thing.
Maria fabricated the accommodation to seek analysis to altercate her apropos and disappointment in herself and her relationship. Obviously she accomplished that while her alliance was not in the best accompaniment that she bare advice to put things into perspective. Afterwards a few sessions, Maria capital to accompany her bedmate to accompany in the sessions. These sessions were spent accepting both of them altercate their animosity and how they were anniversary aghast with one another. Maria was able to altercate how she acquainted abominable and abandoned while Thomas accustomed validation for his all-overs issues. Thomas was confronted for his booze corruption and how that was affecting their relationship. This brace was able to communicate, absolve anniversary added and move forward.
A additional couple, Julio and Gabrielle (not their absolute names) were not so lucky. Julio started 'sexting' with addition woman he met online just afterwards the bearing of his daughter. He had been black with Gabrielle for some time about just didn't apperceive how to acquaint his feelings. He had appear from a ancestors in which communicating animosity was awful discouraged. So while his wife was abundant and annoyed a acceptable allocation of the time, Julio was online searching for some attention.
At first, things were actual mild. He beatific a few texts actuality and there just searching to see if added women were interested. However, already his babe was born, Julio spent a lot of time on his phone. He 'sexted' with a accurate woman with whom he had a affiliation at plan and in the car. He aswell deleted all of the letters because he didn't wish his wife to become apprehensive or to acquisition them 'by accident.' So he was able to accumulate up this foreground for some time…a acceptable 6 months.
However, one day he wasn't so careful. Julio forgot to annul some letters and his wife looked at his buzz while she was up in the average of the night agriculture the baby. She was afraid and devastated at what she found. Gabrielle chose not to say annihilation appropriate abroad because she capital to see if she could bolt him or get him to acquire to this behavior. And one day she was able to do just that. She activate him in the bath demography pictures of his genitals and sending the pictures & messages. She confronted him on the atom and but he denied anytime affair up with this woman. Gabrielle accomplished that they bare some austere advice and approved therapy.
She announced that she admired Julio and capital to accumulate their alliance complete but was not traveling to acquire this blazon of behavior from him. Julio was able to finally, afterwards some encouragement, to acquaint that he had been black with Gabrielle for years. He declared that he alone affiliated her because she had become abundant with his babe but he didn't feel that the two of them were actual compatible. She aswell activate out in analysis that Julio had aria about affair up with the woman that he was sending letters to and that they had been dating. It was at this point that Gabrielle and Julio absitively to abstracted because their accord was not reparable.
So what should you do?
If you acquire activate yourself absorbed in award absorption alfresco your alliance or relationship, it is important to ask yourself some important questions.
What do you wish to accomplish? What are your intentions? Acquire you activate that you are not absorbed in advancement your alliance or relationship? What is the acumen you are aggravating to affix with anyone else? Are you searching for some absorption because you are not accepting it at home? Are you gluttonous out something added agitative or accordant than your partner/spouse? Or is your accord salvageable with the advice of anyone who can animate bigger advice and engagement? Are you just searching to accomplish you're your partner/spouse jealous? These questions charge to be answered afore the accord deteriorates accomplished the point of no return.
If you adjudge that you are artlessly not absorbed in continuing with your present relationship, again some honest chat needs to activity with your apron or partner. It is important to acquaint your animosity and to acquiesce this added accepting the befalling to apprehend that the accord is over. This allows your accomplice to alpha the activity of afflicted the accord and eventually affective on. Hopefully, you are able to accommodate some abutment and benevolence for your apron or accomplice and acquiesce for a added accordant separation.
However if you acquire afresh activate out that your apron or accomplice has been complex in a 'sexting' relationship, it is important for you to advance composure. It is absolutely accustomed to acquire acute affections apropos the bearings about it will not advice in the advice process. Amuse ask questions about this added accord and acquisition out about your partner's intentions. It is important to apperceive if your apron or accomplice is absorbed in continuing with your accord and catastrophe the added one or not. It is accessible to acquire an cold 3rd activity there to advice both of you to actuate in which administration you both wish to travel.
Emotions will be top in either bearings abnormally for the accepting that has just activate out about this alfresco relationship. If you are too acutely aching by your apron or partner's 'sexting' accord to break with him/her, again this accept to aswell be addressed. Anniversary accepting deals with awful affecting situations in altered ways. One brace ability be able to acquaint finer even in difficult situations while addition brace ability not be able to be in the aforementioned allowance together. So it is important to apperceive how your apron or accomplice will acknowledge in this bearings and acquisition a way to appear to a applicable cessation that best fits both of you.
Since 'sexting' has become such a accepted activity a allotment of adults in austere relationships and with those that are dating based on the analysis provided in this article, it is important for anybody to be added abreast apropos the topic. The analysis shows that 'sexting' can enhance a austere relationship. The case examples appearance two altered scenarios that can ensue. If humans are black in their present accord and accept to advance 'sexting' to acquisition activity with addition person, the end aftereffect could be accord or conjugal dissolution.
Couples are encouraged to seek out help. A counselor, therapist or analyst can advice couples to acquisition their way through this situation. If a accord has been abundantly damaged by 'sexting' (through which a concrete accord may or may not acquire begun), there are important animosity on both abandon that charge to be addressed. Depending on the desires of both humans involved, these relationships can be adored but does yield time to clean assurance and confidence. Since a lot of of these relationships abide of one (or both) bodies gluttonous out anyone else, it is basic to animate exact advice about the things that anniversary accepting angle is defective in the relationship. Animosity charge to be announced and anniversary accomplice or apron needs to acquire the befalling to accurate him/herself. Absolution plays a HUGE allotment in this blazon of situation. Anniversary accepting has to ask him/herself if absolution is an advantage and if so, they can advance against creating a new accord together. They can do this by spending time calm and discussing how to amuse anniversary other's needs. Alone afterwards these important issues acquire been brought up can the brace activate to move advanced on a new aisle against happiness.

Lamar seniors have score to settle with McNeese
It's ironic how things work out in life, especially for the 18 seniors on the Lamar football team.
Last season, after a 21-year hiatus, Lamar re-launched its football program against rival McNeese State, a perennial FCS power, went to Lake Charles and in a game that no one outside of the Lamar locker room gave the team a chance to win, nearly pulled off the upset in a 30-27 loss that set the tone for a 5-6 season that very few people saw coming.
"We should've won that game," said senior Asim Hicks, perhaps the most outspoken and passionate member of the football team.
"We made too many mistakes," said JJ Hayes, who along with fellow senior Marcus Jackson, has combined to form one of the most talented receiving duos in FCS football.
Now, in the week leading up to their final game as Lamar Cardinals, five Lamar Cardinal seniors took time out of their last week of preparation as collegiate football players to speak with The Examiner to talk about the last two years playing for Lamar and what the future holds for these five and the Lamar program.
For Andre Bevil, the West Orange native who was the first recruit to sign with Head Football Coach Ray Woodard, it's been a tremendous ride. He goes into Saturday's game as the starting quarterback and has already thrown for more than 3500 yards in his Lamar career. He holds single-season records for most yards in a game, 429, which coincidentally came against McNeese last season, as well as most completions in a game, 34, which came last season against Southeastern Louisiana.
And unofficially, he holds the record for most scrutinized quarterback the last two seasons, yet all he's done is go out each and every Saturday and play to the best of his ability, including last week's performance when he came off the bench to throw for 186 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-26 win over Nicholls State to stop a five-game losing skid.
"It's time to turn another page," Bevil said, "being at Lamar has taught me a lot. When I first got here, there wasn't a program, so I've been here since ground zero. I've adapted to new cultures, different players, different attitudes, and I've never been in a program like this. This has really flown by. But it's helped make me a better man and to make better decisions in life."
With Marcus Jackson and JJ Hayes, the tandem has been together for a while, playing their JUCO ball together at Navarro before moving to Lamar. They've overcome injuries, adjusting to a new program and expectations to form a receiving duo that Beaumont hasn't seen in a long time.
"It's been an emotional roller-coaster," said Jackson of this season, who like the rest of the guys, including senior safety Tim Hayter, tested this team and really showed not only the other seniors, but the rest of the team, who could be counted on after demoralizing losses to Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. "This team, these guys, we never quit. But we want to go out on a winning streak for these younger guys."
"We've given these guys something to build off of," said Hayter, who along with Bevil, will graduate in December and is looking forward to getting his master's degree and beginning a career in coaching. Often one of the overlooked members of the defense, Hayter, along with cousin Marcus Jackson, has always worked to be a positive force on and off the field.
"They picked us to go last," Hayter said of the preseason conference polls that had Lamar eighth out of eight teams, using that as motivation for the last game of the season.
All five men, Bevil, Hayes, Jackson, Hayter and Hicks; have had their ups and downs throughout their careers at Lamar. They all have aspirations after football, with all of them either wanting to play professionally – whether that means in the NFL or Canada, or coaching. And of course there's Hayes, who like the rest, is just as quick with a joke as he is when shaking a defender, who wants to join the military when his football career is over and join a special operations unit, whether it be as a Navy SEAL or as a Marine – "I just want to be active, because when you slow down, you get fat," – and he dismisses Hayter's prognostication – "he'll have a beer belly in ten years" – to a chorus of laughs.
As for Hicks, the Jersey native playing in Texas, he said it's all about laying the foundation. "My pops was a mason, and he said using concrete was better than using powdery clay. We're trying to end as concrete."
While the entire team wants a win this weekend against rival McNeese, Coach Woodard, who acknowledges this group of seniors has laid a great foundation for the future of Lamar football, the rest of Cardinal Nation can definitely feel good about the work and dedication these five young men and the rest of the Lamar senior class has put into this football program. And there's no question that a win against McNeese to close the curtain on their college careers would be an appropriate ending. But before they go out and do it, there's still one thing they'd like to see before hanging up their red jerseys.
"At Lamar, let's see a sea of red this weekend," said Hicks.

USC is set to hire Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola to serve as offensive coordinator under coach Lane Kiffin, causing Titans coach — and USC alum — Jeff Fisher to question the professionalism of the Trojans' head man.
"Typically speaking ... there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant. So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voicemail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism."

Three former NFL players living in Maryland have filed a suit against the league alleging it hid information about the long-term health effects of concussions and endangered players' lives by "mythologizing" violent hits.
The class-action suit seeks more than $600 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The players join almost 4,000 peers in filing suit against the league, according to Paul D. Anderson, a lawyer who specializes in advocating for traumatic brain injury victims and retired NFL players' rights.
The plaintiffs in the suit, filed Oct. 5 in Queen Anne's County, are Jody Schulz, Warren Powers and Willie Williams.
Schulz, 52, lives in Queen Anne's County and was a linebacker and special teams player for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1983 to 1987. Powers, 47, resides in Carroll County and played on the defensive line for three teams from 1989 to 1993; he is a Baltimore native and played at Maryland. Williams, 41, played cornerback for the Steelers and Seahawks from 1993 to 2005 and lives in Montgomery County.
All three say they suffer from various neurological conditions and symptoms related to multiple head traumas.
The complaint lists NFL Films videos -- such as "The Best of Thunder and Destruction: NFL's Hardest Hits," and "Crunch Course" (I and II) -- as evidence that the NFL promoted activities that put the players in danger of injuries that the league knew could leave them severely disabled for the rest of their lives.
Jamal Lewis is the most prominent former Raven involved in such a case.
(Tip of my newsboy-style cap to the intrepid Justin Fenton for noticing this.)

Levi and I started decorating our new M.I.L.F. headquarters and we thought it was going to be easy. Once we saw how hard it really was we contacted a bunch of interior decorators. This dude showed up and had some awesome ideas. We were going to hire him until Margo showed up a couple hours later. She was a bit older than our usual M.I.L.F.'s but sexy as hell because she kept herself in great shape. Levi pounced on her right away and for a minute there, I thought he was going to fail since she kept shooting him down, and he has not been doing this too long. Everything she would decide to discuss about the home and how she wanted to decorate it, Levi quickly turned it into something sexual but nuanced. She picked up on what he was up to and eventually relented. She knew this was her chance to get some young, strange guy and just have a ball, or two balls and a cock. Levi pounded her interior and decorated her face.

Grizzlies oust Clippers in six games
Memphis, TN – The Memphis Grizzlies earned some payback this postseason by sending the Los Angeles Clippers home early.
The Grizzlies used a balanced attack in a physical Game 6 to come away with their fourth straight victory in the Western Conference quarterfinals, a 118-105 decision thanks to seven double-digit scorers and their ability to get to the foul line.
Mike Conley and Zach Randolph each scored 23 points, while Tony Allen filled the stat sheet with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists for fifth-seeded Memphis, which will play the West's top seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder, starting on Sunday after they finished off the Houston Rockets on Friday.
The Grizzlies, who lost as a No. 4 seed to Los Angeles in last year's first round, became the 16th team in NBA history to rally from an 0-2 deficit and win a seven-game series and the 10th to finish it off in Game 6.
"I was never in desperate thoughts down 0-2. Our guys just rose up and showed the discipline they showed all year," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said.
Chris Paul paced the fourth-seeded Clippers with 28 points and eight assists, but was ejected with 2:29 remaining in the game after receiving his second technical foul for throwing a cheap shot into Marc Gasol's abdomen.
Matt Barnes stepped up with Blake Griffin limited due to a high ankle sprain and put in 30 points on 11-of-14 shooting, but Los Angeles could not stop the suddenly-clicking Grizzlies.
Memphis earned its way to the foul line 47 times and shot 15-of-20 from the foul line in the first quarter alone en route to a 29-26 lead.
Barnes and Paul kept the Clippers close, with the former hitting 6-of-6 from the field, including four 3-pointers, for a surprising 18 points in the first half. His triple with just over five minutes left in the second gave the Clippers their first and only lead at 45-44.
Paul capped his 16-point half with a driving bucket in the closing seconds, but Memphis was in the midst of a 23-8 run spanning the second and third quarters to turn a tie game in its favor.
Conley led the way with eight points during the surge. He sank two free throws after Chauncey Billups hooked him around the neck and took him to the hardwood for a Flagrant 1 foul, then drained a 3-pointer for a 74-59 Memphis lead with 7:13 remaining in the third.
Randolph was hit with a technical foul when he and Griffin got tangled up and went to the floor, and the play momentarily stalled the Grizzlies' momentum, as Los Angeles clawed to within 85-79 in the final minute of the third.
In the final 38.6 seconds, however, Memphis regained its double-digit cushion, with Quincy Pondexter draining a 3-pointer, Gasol hitting a rainbow jumper, and Jerryd Bayless beating the clock with a 22-footer after Grant Hill was whistled for a moving pick in the backcourt.
The closest the Clippers got in the fourth was 103-97 after Caron Butler connected on a stepback jumper with 5:15 to go. Billups turned the ball over on the next possession, and Conley and Bayless answered with consecutive 3- pointers.
"That got the crowd back into the game and we never made a big run after that," said Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro, who led the team to its first Pacific Division title this season.
Randolph connected on a turnaround jumper the next time down for a 111-99 game, and even though he too was hit with his second technical foul down the stretch, it did little to silence the excitement at FedExForum.
Game Notes
Memphis scored over 100 points in each of the last three games of the series and improved to 26-1 this season when doing so ... This is Memphis' second ever playoff series win, the other coming in the first round against San Antonio two years ago ... Bayless finished with 18 points ... Griffin did not start and totaled nine points and three rebounds in just 14 minutes ... Memphis shot 38-of-47 from the foul line, compared the Los Angeles' 16-of-24 effort at the stripe.

Office space in SoHo puts businesses in one of the most popular neighborhoods on the planet. Short for South of Houston Street, the upscale neighborhood is synonymous with style, luxury, art, and NYC culture. The area is best known for its cast-iron buildings, cobblestone streets, spacious lofts with large windows, and collection of boutique and chain fashion stores. SoHo has a rich and varied history, from a manufacturing area to a hub for artists to now one of the most expensive and in-demand locations in Manhattan.
Office Space | SoHo Lease Data & Trends
The high demand for SoHo office space is largely due from the neighborhood's prime location, access to subway lines, amenities for employees, and proximity to the city's other major business districts. With nearly 5 million square feet of office space available for rent and another 300,000-plus under construction (as of July 2018), the neighborhood has options for businesses of all sizes.
Based on SquareFoot's New York City office space leasing data, the average asking rent for SoHo office space in a Class A building is slightly above $100 per square foot, among the highest of any NYC office space submarket. However, there is nearly 3 million square feet of Class B office space in SoHo that rents for a more affordable rate of $70 per square foot. The vacancy rates for both Class A and Class B office space for rent in SoHo hover around 10%.
|Office Space for Rent
|Class A
|2 million sf
|Class B
|2.9 million sf
What Our Brokers Say About SoHo Office Space for Rent
SoHo has the world's largest collection of cast-iron buildings, with memorable facades and fire escapes. Large warehouse windows allow for tons of natural light, and there's plenty in the neighborhood for employees to enjoy. Notable tenants in SoHo include e-commerce, retail, technology, media, and financial services companies such as Warby Parker, Two Sigma Investments, DigitalOcean, FourSquare, Harry's, Thrive Capital, Group Nine Media, Accenture, Wieden + Kennedy, and WeWork Labs.
SquareFoot brokers regularly help businesses of all sizes find the perfect SoHo office for their needs. Here are a few of our recent clients:
Hinge: The popular dating app moved into a 5,000 square foot space on LaGuardia Place.
Point One Percent: The marketing agency moved their 15-person team to a third-floor office on Broadway.
Instacart: Now valued at $4.5B after its most recent $150M round of funding, the grocery delivery startup previous worked with SquareFoot to find office space at 580 Broadway.
SoHo Neighborhood History
SoHo's history dates back to when Lower Manhattan was a Dutch settlement known as New Amsterdam. The land that is now SoHo office space was the first free black settlement on the island, given as farmland to freed slaves of the Dutch West Indies Company. By the mid 19th Century, large commercial shops had opened in the area, including Tiffany & Company and Lord & Taylor. During this time period, a number of the neighborhood's iconic cast iron buildings were built. Shortly after the Civil War, SoHo became a hub for textiles, manufacturing, and dry goods distribution. However, following World War II, many manufacturers moved south, leaving SoHo warehouses and factories empty.
As these businesses left the area, SoHo fell into decline. In the 1950's, artists began moving into the loft-style buildings, taking advantage of cheap rent, large, open spaces, and an abundance of natural light. This is the beginning of the culture and style of what we now associate with SoHo. In 1963, city planner Chester Rapkin created the SoHo moniker. This was around the same time a plan to build a highway connecting the Williamsburg Bridge and Holland Tunnel was shot down, saving the neighborhood.
By the 1970's, there were thousands of artists living in the neighborhood, and the decades have seen the likes of Andy Warhol, Philip Glass, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Twyla Tharp, and David Bowie all reside in SoHo at one time or another. Changes in zoning laws over the past 30 years have drawn in more affluent residents and raised both residential and commercial real estate prices. However, more than 600 buildings are marked are designated and protected by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
In addition to being an abbreviation of South of Houston, SoHo's name is a reference to Soho in London's West End. SoHo's naming convention became the model for renaming emerging and re-purposed neighborhoods throughout the city, such as Tribeca, DUMBO, NoHo, Nolita, and NoMad. The naming convention is also used across the country to rebrand commercial and residential redevelopment zones.
For food recommendations, be sure to check out our SoHo Lunch Guide.
Getting to, From, and Around SoHo
SoHo is easily accessible by train. The 1, 6, A, C, E, N, R, J, and Z trains pass through the neighborhood, as well as the PATH train, making SoHo easily accessible from Brooklyn, Queens, and nearby suburbs. Additionally, many regional buses such as MegaBus and Boltbus have stops along 6th Avenue.
Because of cobblestone streets and the flood of tourists, roads are usually congested, making for a less pleasant bike ride than other parts of the city. For less traffic, cyclists can take the Hudson River Greenway. Commuters using CitiBike can dock at any of the near-dozen stations in the neighborhood, some of which hold as many as 45 bikes. Employees based closer to the popular shopping streets may have a more difficult time finding an opening to dock their bike, especially during the warmer weather months.
SoHo, like the rest of Manhattan, suffers from debilitating traffic, so we recommend alternative means of transportation whenever possible. However, SoHo is close to the Holland Tunnel, allowing for relatively quick access to New Jersey, Newark Airport, I78, and I95. Employees who need to travel for work can take the PATH train to Newark, or the A train to JFK Airport.
Nearby districts include Hudson Square and Chinatown.

The General Manager of the Nashville Predators David Poile has some big decisions to make on his two top defensemen Shea Weber and Ryan Suter. Weber will become a restricted free agent on July 1, while Suter becomes an unrestricted free agent. Can Poile resign both players?
At the NHL All-Star media day Friday, both players discussed where they were at in regards to their contract negotiations. While I was in conversation with TSN's Darren Dreger, fellow TSN analyst Pierre Lebrun shared some breaking news with us. He informed us that Ryan Suter announced he had decided that he was not going to sign a contract prior to the February 27 trade deadline, and that he was going to market July 1. The announcement of this decision really puts some pressure on Poile to decide if he wants to keep Suter as the Predators have a playoff position with a ten point cushion and may be able to have a long playoff run. Having Suter would be a key factor in their playoff chances. Or, does Poile really want to take the risk of allowing Suter to sign elsewhere and lose such an asset while receiving nothing in return.
Poile has expressed his desire and intention to keep both players, and is indicating that Nashville is prepared to pay the top dollars; something that the franchise historically has not done. Poile took the first step towards proving those intentions when he resigned starting goalie Pekka Rinne to a seven year $49 million dollar contract.

Shea Weber has also made the decision to not have any contract talks or negotiations during the season. "I told David (Poile) I didn't want to discuss it during the season since January 1st came around. I dealt with a lot during the summer with negotiations and arbitration, so put that on the back burner and just focus on winning." He told me. Weber also commented on Suters decision saying "We talk a lot. It's been weighing on him. David (Poile) has been trying to get a deal done, and (Suter) doesn't want to deal with it and that's why he came forward and said that, and now he can move on."
The trade speculation will continue to surround the Nashville situation over the course of the next few months. Who will stay, who will go, and who may be coming in. If Poile is serious about keeping both players and becoming a big spending team, perhaps the trade focus should be who will be added to the Predators line up. Players such as Ales Hemsky or Jeff Carter have recently been rumored to be available. By adding an impact player up front and having a successful playoff run, the Preds would show both Weber and Suter that Nashville is serious about winning and spending. A long playoff run would also provide the club with significant revenue to support lucrative contracts Weber and Suter will command.
It will be very interesting to follow this story line and see what Poile does as the decisions he is about to make will shape the Nashville franchise for years to come.
