St. Patrick's Day Parade planner moves the FDNY from the front of the parade because he want drunk firefighters at the start
huh?
Thank you for publicizing Uncivil Servants. My favorite local parking abuse involves a Dunkin Donuts, an MTA bus stop, and hungry cops.
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....
Is there a link/details to the slashing on W 65th? I used to live on W 65th -- up until a few months ago.
It's MLK high school.

I wonder if it was a mother...or father.
BrooklynNative-
They do. But which vehicle is more likely to kill or injure you, a bike or a car?
Same location as the gay-bashing rob/murder from last year, actually, in which the guy was chased into traffic.
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.
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?
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.
