Um, St George is a neighborhood on S.I., not a street...and there's no St George Dr, as the newsmap claims. Hell, just look at the map marker, for God's sake.
Great journalism.
The little girl that witnessed the murder-suicide of her parents was 4, not 5.
Shark DOA? So who's "D", the shark or a person?
Google Maps can't find a "Roma Road" in S.I., although there is a Roma Ave. It is nowhere near a St. George street/avenue/road/anything, and miles from the neighborhood of St. George (where the S.I. Yankees play). The map marker is in New Dorp, on S.I.'s east shore.
I thought Staten Island was a part of Jersey. When did it join NYC?
You've got to be kidding me #5. It's always been a part of New York and joined the city in 1898.
1898, that's when New York became a poor excuse for a city. The outer boro's just suck the taxes out of us to support their crap way of life. Close all the bridges and tunnels and charge twice the amount for those people to come into the city. The only true New York City is Manhattan.
it was a white family for blurb number two. boro park.
Serra in the Garden...? Hmmm
How come no one ever figured out that if you
cut the top off a giant oil tank and walk around inside of it that it is a lot like Mr Serr's "Art"
Mr Serra...typo
