- 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.
- 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.
- The going rate for hiring a Columbia student to take your SAT II's is $1000.
- Sad: "The U.S. Postal Service announced Saturday that hundreds of pieces of mail addressed to the World Trade Center still arrive each day. "
- 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.
