-- The WTC Museum is putting up photos of the attack on the fence outside Ground Zero. We give it two days before the vendors start selling copies.
-- Good news for you flat-chested gals: gel-filled bras are once again being allowed on flights.
-- Corky from Life Goes On is a surprisingly compelling dancer!
-- Where is all that CBGB money going? They're definitely not using it to keep their bathrooms clean.
-- This planned greenway would make it much easier to bike from Red Hook to Greenpoint-- but who knows when it'll get built?
-- It's looking like that Mineola decapitation was just the tip of the iceberg-- detectives in three states are looking into various unsolved murders that may be connected to Evan Marhall.
-- NYC has 14 of the 17 most dangerous schools in the state, but the Board of Ed says 14 should have been exempt because they're for Special Education students.

    Estella, couldn't have put it better myself.

    9/11 has been so grossly exploited within the past 2 years. It's a gigantic slap in the face to survivors and the families of.

    As for NYers, we were there. It was the clearest day we'd had all year. No one missed a second and no one is going to forget. We don't need pictures.

    Thanks for posting the info about the WTC photos. I'll now know to avoid that area, which I pass daily for work. I understand the importance of the photos for the museum, but posting them like that, so close to the anniversary, will be retraumatizing for many of us who are not gawking tourists.

    Maybe when Jake went to stuy, there was a bd of ed and it just stuck. remember those engraved door knobs with the nyc bd of ed seal?

    did you know Jake was mentioned as a notable alum of Stuy in wikipedia?

    There is no Board of Ed. anymore--you mean Dept. of Ed.

    Thank goodness. My leopard-print gel-filled bra was giving me no shortage of security troubles.

  • If you think the men's room at CBGBs is bad (and it is- there's no door, so when you walk by, you see guys standing there using the urinals- and the women's room is after the men's room, so all girls see), you should see the ladies' room. It was sooooooooooo gross. At least guys don't have to touch their parts to the urinals.

    I think Jake means Manhattan....

    I kinda feel sorry for the Chicken man. It must be hot as balls in there.

  • 10-4 good buddy

    k-

    No, obviously not. That would be like the editors here actually having to do editing.

    how can nyc have 14 of the 17 most dangerous schools in the city? shouldn't all of the dangerous schools in nyc be in nyc?
