  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A vessel in distress at Beach 169th St in Queens, shots fired on Moore St in Brooklyn and a car vs. house at Giffords La & Leverett Ave in Staten Island.
  • A lifeguard was caught sleeping on the job at Staten Island's South Beach. A witness said, "It wasn't like he was just resting his eyes, he was definitely sleeping."
  • Not shocking: New Yorkers want residents making more than $1 million to be taxed more.
  • Hillary Clinton will be answering questions live and online at noon tomorrow.
  • Bodega vigilante justice in NJ.
  • The Willets Point Industry and Realty Association mocks the city's announcement that minorities, women and Queens residents will have a large role in reshaping the area, saying, "It's like George Bush proclaiming 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq all those years ago – a wild exaggeration that only misled the American public."
  • Private kindergartens have reached a "crisis level of capacity"!
