• Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: serious assault in a school in Hudson Square, pursuit/police car crash in the Bronx, and an all hands "suspicious fire" on Warren Street and 5th Avenue in Park Slope (pictured above).
• Weiner for Mayor? We kind of like the sound of that.
• New in LES: a ping-pong parlor with a single table. New on the internet: a weblog that covers ping-pong parlors in LES.
• A development at Park Slope's mystery mansion: scaffolding!
• Finally! Groundbreaking for the Second Avenue subway has been scheduled for April 12th.
• We just can't get enough of these stories on Law & Order's Fred Thompson running for president. Our fantasy: a Hillary/Obama vs. Guiliani/Thompson race.
• The New York Archdiocese is reopening St. Joseph's in Greenwich Village-- tuition is going up 900%-- from $2500 to $25000. Parents of former students are not pleased.
