barnes and NOBLE. NOBLE! no s! gah!

Check out the Park Slope B&N link.

And, of course, try to avoid crossing in front of a moving bus or truck at all times, even if you have the walk signal.

If you've never driven a truck/bus then it would be difficult to understand how that would occur, because the stress in trying to get through a crosswalk makes it difficult for both drivers and pedestrians. It seems almost every story I read about someone getting clipped involves a TURNING vehicle. That's why it is ever so more important to OBEY the crosswalk signals. To disregard the "don't walk" steady red hand while 5 cars are backed up trying to make a turn is, to me, as irresponsible as a driver running a light. You're contributing to the antagonism and detracting from any possibility of a safe flow for pedestrians and vehicles.

My heart goes out to both the pedestrian and driver, and for all who read this, PLEASE take walking and driving in this big city seriously.

The bank robbery perp had an iPod. The left earbud stayed intact through the entire incident.

Why was I not suprised to read this line:

So far no arrests have been made and it is unknown whether the driver even knew that he had hit someone.

I am SO sick of reading about clueless drivers mowing down pedestrians and cyclists -- and nothing being done to punish them!
