Retrieved 11 October 2022. Just opposite, on the side of the hotel from the terrace, is a garden seat in the usual pattern of the esplanade. It really is an esplanade divided into two exactly equal sections, with a few weightlifting machines, a basketball court and a few bathrooms that few will dare to do. The history of the “Esplanade” is completely at the level. The Italians created “spianata” for a flat section of land from their verb “spianare”, which means “to level”. “Spianare”, in turn, comes from the Latin verb explanare, which also means “to make level” and is the source of our verb “to explain”.
Middle French speakers borrowed “spianata” as “esplanade,” and in the late 1500s we borrowed the word French. At the end of the 17th century and even later, esplanades were associated with war. The word was used to refer to a free space between a citadel and the house closest to a city, or a slope around a fortress used to defend against attacks. Today, however, esplanades are usually there for fun. By giving up the land the city needed to approach the bridge and for a 200-foot-wide plaza, it received a deferral of all tax increases for the rest of its land during construction – and permission to develop it. Adriana continues her friendship with Danielle, an undercover FBI agent, and arranges a meeting with her at the Crazy Horse. When they meet, Adriana talks about her fears of not having children because of complications from an abortion she had before she was with Christopher. Danielle had urged Adriana to reveal Chris` involvement in the mafia, so she`s a little surprised by what she`s learned. However, she sympathetically offers to recommend a good OBGYN that her sister knows in New York (she just had a child herself). Chris and Little Paulie arrive at the club and Chris gives Little Paulie cocaine right in front of Danielle. Sapinsly calls Tony and tells him that he will release him from the sale, but that he will keep the $200,000 deposit. He offers negotiations, but Tony refuses.
Benny and Little Paulie take the speakers from Tony`s home theater, set them up on Tony`s boat, anchor it right in front of Sapinsly`s house, and play loud music at noon. The fir trees try to ignore it. At night, when they sit peacefully on the terrace, the music starts again. When the cables are lost, Tony immediately calls Chris to reprimand him. Tony tells him that he doesn`t see the financial potential of the construction contracts and that he is angry at the unwanted attention the thefts will bring to their involvement in the work. Christopher returns home to get high and complain to Adriana. He also passes on the reprimand to crew members Patsy and Little Paulie, but Patsy insists Chris gave him “a look” which he took as the green light. Meadow argues with her mother about the breakup and asks her how she was able to eat Tony`s “” for so many years. Tony returns home and becomes violent when Carmela tells him to leave.

While Bobby and Janice are partying, Junior, suspicious of Janice, finds an excuse to stop her. While Tony is lying in the pool, Carmela confronts him with a minor nuisance, which leads to another argument in which she finally reveals her feelings for Furio. Tony, initially incredulous, becomes violent again and almost hits her, but stops and hits the wall next to her head instead. He told her that in his business he was looking for women with different qualities than her, but she replies that he barely knew most of the women he slept with. She then moved with her son-in-law into a magnificent mansion overlooking the Esplanade des Invalides. As they leave the meeting, Chris jokes to Silvio that the first thing he`s going to do is put wings in his hair — much like the gray hair “like wings” Paulie has on the side of his head. Silvio is not amused; He is also pushed out of the promotion when he realizes that Chris is beginning to usurp his place in Tony`s inner circle. Chris then visits the construction site where Patsy, Benny Fazio, Little Paulie, Donny K.
and Vito Spatafore work without work. The guys noticed valuable fiber optic cables lying around; They tell Chris about it and he seems interested.

In the case of The Sopranos, this is a major redevelopment project for the city of Newark that aims to demolish the city`s dilapidated and abandoned former industrial area on the city`s riverfront and replace it with new buildings that attract businesses and investors. From the point of view of the crowd, it`s important because it brings hundreds of millions of dollars into the neighborhood, some of which they want to steal or embezzle. A lot of construction means a lot of money goes into bribing their union, a lot of demolition means a lot of waste management. My understanding is that in the north end of the East Coast, you cannot find concrete suppliers who are not a mafia front. In addition, any company attracted by the reorganization can be blackmailed or robbed, so there is a bonus.

Christopher returns from rehab in very good shape.
