  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an escaped patient on the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens, a homicide on Bruner and Burke Aves. in the Bronx, and shots fired on Bainbridge St. and Lewis Ave. in Brooklyn.
  • Jurors in the Nixzmary Brown murder trial were sent home for the second consecutive day Thursday as the defense, prosecution, and judge met in secret to discuss potentially bombshell evidence that's yet to be revealed.
  • The NYPD is searching for three police impersonators who knocked on the door of a Cypress Hills, Brooklyn home last night and then pushed their way in, tying up and robbing the 77-year-old and 39-year-old male and female occupants. The robbers were wearing police windbreakers, sunglasses, and dark hats, with at least two of them brandishing pistols.
  • There's nothing like dealing with annoying riders on Amtrak and the LIRR, especially the really drunk ones.
  • Savannah, Georgia says that FDNY rank and file members are not welcome to march in its St. Patrick's Day parade this year because of prior complaints of drunken and rowdy behavior.
  • The one-time run down Park Slope armory has been impressively transformed into an indoor athletic center, but the schedule for its opening is still up in the air as the city searches for a private operator to run the site.
  • The New York Post has called Nixzmary Brown's mother many things, but we don't believe we've ever heard her referred to as an EVIL HETEROSEXUAL MOM. Still, the paper went with the hed "EVIL LESBIAN MOM LEFT TODDLER TO DIE SLOW DEATH: DA," today regarding a similar case of fatal child abuse. Classy.
  • Slice breaks down the variations in different regional pizza styles.

    I find it almost impossible that members of the FDNY would be drunk and disorderly on St. Patrick's day. It must have been some other group.
