    How many times are we going to see photos of the demolition of that piece of shit dome? didn't anyone play with legos when they were a kid? Things get built, things get torn down, new things get built - it's called civilization.

    So...a male teacher poses in Playgirl and it's sort of fine. Would the same thing happen if a female teacher was in Playboy?

    I'm also looking for more info on the W. 65th St. incident--my dad works there (Lincoln Center) and I haven't heard from him.

    Same location as the gay-bashing rob/murder from last year, actually, in which the guy was chased into traffic.

    They do. But which vehicle is more likely to kill or injure you, a bike or a car?

    # WABC 7 says that the Department of Ed found out public school occupational therapist Julian Fantechi posed in Playgirl because a parent saw his photo and complained

    I wonder if it was a mother...or father.

    It's MLK high school.

    Is there a link/details to the slashing on W 65th? I used to live on W 65th -- up until a few months ago.

    Now if only Transportation Alternatives could work on those cyclist who won't follow the traffic rules and the pedestrians who can't fathom the "Don't cross in the middle" song....

  • thanks

    Thank you for publicizing Uncivil Servants. My favorite local parking abuse involves a Dunkin Donuts, an MTA bus stop, and hungry cops.
