  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a police officer struck on 125th St. and St. Clair Pl. in Manhattan, a double stabbing on West 181st St. and Audubon Ave. in Manhattan, and a person under a train at Queens Blvd. and Broadway in Queens.
  • The six-year-old who started the blaze that killed a firefighter is sorry. His mother says he's been crying since that night and repeats "I didn't mean to do it. I didn't mean to do it."
  • Streetsblog describes yesterday's 3rd Annual Ghost Bikes Memorial Ride.
  • The number of stabbings and slashings were down almost 60% at city jails between 2006 (44) and 2007 (19). In 1995 there were more than 1,000 incidents of slashings and stabbings reported.
  • Wikipedia jargon as advertisement bomb.
  • Talmudic scholar Rabbi Shmuel Berenbaum died yesterday; he founded the Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn, which Mayor Bloomberg called "one of the largest centers for Torah study in the world."
  • New Hampshire should have been a perfect fit for Candidate Giuliani--socially liberal, pro-war on terror--but a poor campaign strategy may spell doom for his Presidential prospects.
  • Just what the Bowery needed: A luxury condo hi-rise with a gated driveway.

If you would read the curbed post more carefully, you'd see that building going up with the driveway is a condo. "GIANT HOTEL GOES HERE" refers to the already erected Cooper Square Hotel left out of the mockup of the view from the condo's roof deck.
