In Queens, to find locations best- And hey, one more anniversary this weekend. I've been your Gothamist Weekend Editor for one whole year now, huzzah! It wouldn't be nearly as much fun without all of your comments and tips (and corrections, I live for your corrections).
Avenues, roads and drives run west;
But ways to north or south ’tis plain
Are street or place or even lane.

Re: the Jersey Turnpike acciedent -
The vehicle involved was a Ford Crown Victoria, which was rear-ended. Many livery cars are old police units, and the P71 Police Interceptor model of the Crown Victoria has had a nasty tendancy to catch fire and go boom when rear ended at high speed - something that killed several police officers, including one upstate - due to a poor gas tank design.
If you own any Crown Victoria or Mercury Grand Marquis, you should see e-mail to Ford Dealers (PDF format) about the need for a gas tank upgrade.
Hey good job so far editor.
Corrections? We can post corrections?
I like Garth's posts. He has a real interest in City politics, and it shows in a cool, nerdy way. GO GARTH!
I like his contributions, too.
except for some passive aggressive postings recently. but they weren't the one's a person would categorize as city politics.
I just found your blog and I like it !
Goth is dead (no pun intended). It amuses me that mexican and latino communities are taking it up. Posers.
