  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A possible suspicious package at Laguardia Airport, a person struck by a train at West 72nd St in Manhattan, and an armed robbery on Seguine Ave on Staten Island.
  • The city will try to address the school overcrowding issue by doing things like asking for a state office to be converted into a school.
  • Way to prove the mayor of Belmar's point: Two Staten Island brothers were arrested in Belmar--one even shoved a cop.
  • A 90-year-old woman, who was a few credits short of a master's back in the 1960s, returned to complete her degree.
  • Scarlett Johanssen doesn't think her emails to Barack Obama should have been a big deal, "I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other [Obama] surrogates or supporters … there wouldn't be [any] question about it.'"
  • Riverside South is no longer Trump City--it's Extellville.
  • And is Clark Rockefeller a real life Tom Ripley?

  • matty

    why does nyc have cris crosses like that?

  • Anna_Merkin

  • The Edge

    A person got trucked by a train?

    Cool!
