I work just a couple blocks from the intersection of Sixth and W. Houston. It is definitely a dangerous intersection for pedestrians.
Maya Rudolph has since decided to stay on SNL...go figure!
I just read that Maya Rudolph is returning to SNL. "11th hour reversal" sort of thing.
the woman that was run over is the 4th person to be run over in the same corner in a two year period!
WTF!!!!
everyone knows (!) that Houston Street is out-of-control. I have never ever seen anyone get pulled over for reckless driving, running lights, etc.
where is law enforcement?
