Approx 18 million...alot of eyeballs there...and can't forget that NJ factoring in.... As for Lowell sounds like you have a solid plan, no doubt Lowell.com & Burbank.com will be a great successes, congrats!

NYC Population - Approx. 18 million US Population - Approx. 300 million Global Population - Approx. 5-6 billion I do agree value might be found in a micro-economy such as NYC, (I know, hard to think of NYC as micro) but a fraction compared to what's out there. Just a thought, Mark Hmmm….

NYC Population – Approx. 18 million
US Population – Approx. 300 million
Global Population – Approx. 5-6 billion

I do agree value might be found in a micro-economy such as NYC, (I know, hard to think of NYC as micro) but a fraction compared to what’s out there.

Just a thought,
