  1. Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a "rampaging squirrel" in Brooklyn, found skeletal remains on the Upper West Side, and a "suspicious person" on the GWB.
  2. The East 62nd Street lot that the Bartha house sat on before it was blown up by its owner has been sold for "near or above the $8million asking price." Even after all of the lawsuits are settled, that's still a nice chunk of change for his estranged ex-wife and kids.
  3. The going rate for hiring a Columbia student to take your SAT II's is $1000.
  4. Sad: "The U.S. Postal Service announced Saturday that hundreds of pieces of mail addressed to the World Trade Center still arrive each day. "
  5. 600 people were afflicted with a "gastrointestinal illness" after eating at a Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Syracuse. That's probably not going to be good for the branch here in Manhattan.
  6. This is ridiculous: "roughly 8,000 New York City employees - or 3% of the municipal workforce - earn such an abysmally low salary that they are forced to get food stamps to feed themselves and their families."

Even though I am in the neighborhood all the time, I don't often go to Dinosaur BBQ. I did stop in on Thursday night for dinner and it was really good and completely crippling illness free. Way to go Manhattan branch.
