  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a shooting on Cambreleng Ave. in the Bronx, a perp search on Morton Ave. in Manhattan, and a school bus accident on Richmond Ave. on Staten Island.
  • The Mets future home--Citi Field--is starting to take on the appearance of an actual ball park.
  • Farewell Baggot Inn. Well drinks were served well. Musicians and comics ventured to your venue. Closing just means moving somewhere else.
  • Hold the film reels! Non-English-speaking people still live in Williamsburg and someone made a film featuring them.
  • A Brooklyn great-grandmother was rescued from a mugger by a number of concerned neighbors who came to her aid when she started screaming. 76-year-old Rafaela Tlatepa was punched in the face by the mugger but resisted long enough for concerned residents to restrain the man 50 years her junior until police arrived.
  • A Queens woman is suing 97.9FM "La Mega" after she "won" a cruise that actually cost $399 plus airfare to the Dominican Republic.
  • You know what the BBC needs? Sue Simmons, dropping F-Bombs all over the place like it's the Battle of Britain.
  • The Hamptons Jitney is for proletarian losers; one may as well take Fung Wah. Anyone with dignity or class will buy a Helicard, which is like a Metrocard for the helicopter shuttle between Manhattan and Southampton and East Hampton.
  • And thank you for your patience with our site difficulties earlier. We're working on resolving all the issues over the next 24 hours.

Not only are La Mega's contests a rip-off, but they are responsible for the lousiest eyesores to unyieldingly grace the subways (this side of Dr. Zismor).

"CON LE MEGA NO SE JUEGA," indeed!
