1. Today is an all Brooklyn edition of the Gothamist Newsmap: a multiple murder suicide at the Walt Whitman Housing Project in Fort Greene, a bomb threat on Meserole Avenue in Brooklyn, and at fire on St. James Place in Park Slope.
2. Most amusing Craigslist Missed Connection EVER: "I vomited in the bakery and you asked me if I was ok - m4w - 27 I answered that it must have been the tacos I had eaten the previous day. You smile, I left in shame, feeling rather rancid. But maybe from this sorta awkward beginning, friendship or more can bloom? I am familiar with all Apple products, and own a Wii. Let's talk about it."
3. Streetsblog has video from the Eric Ng Memorial Ride yesterday-- over 100 cyclists showed up honor his memory and voice their outrage over his death.
4. The Bronx has an unemployment rate of 5.5%, which is the highest in the state. Only 15% of its residents have bachelor's degrees.
5. Some more surprising economic news: many mobsters are broke. They're derided as "brokesters" by their criminal associates (can you imagine the mobster "Your momma" jokes?).
6. And finally, some very sad news from Phillyist: Star Foster, our co-editor there, passed away suddenly this morning. We'll have more information soon-- but right now, we want to express our condolences to her family and friends. Star was a great colleague and a wonderful person, and she'll be missed very much by all of us.
