- The NYPD and FDNY collaborated yesterday to put divers in the dark and frigid waters off a jetty at Orchard Beach in the Bronx, in order to rescue a 14-year-old boy trapped in the rocks of the jetty as high tide encroached. They were successful and none of the rescuers was injured.

GO Newark! I still think they should fire bomb it and start from scratch! [sarcasm]
@edEx: That's a fantastic photo. Harde and Short, that's one of my favorite buildings in NYC. White and Willensky actually have 'Fantastic!', in the AIA entry, and you know what good natured curmudgeons they are.
Newark is a really sad story. It boggles my mind that Newark isn't as nice as Brooklyn. The PATH ride from Newark to WTC is shorter than my commute from Brooklyn. There's a pretty serviceable subway system, every train connection at NWK Penn and a lot of fantastic buildings. Most of the city never really recovered from the riots, but really the politics in Essex County are cartoonishly corrupt. Newark is mismanaged. Want a challenge Mayor Mike? Run against Cory Booker and turn Newark around.
