Double Parking literally chokes the life out of this city on a daily basis. What does the NYPD do? Nothing.

"The Department of Investigation suspended licenses of two constructions workers removed a platform's guardrail which led to a worker's fatal 40-story floor at a West 42nd Street site." Huh?

It's the GIL Hodges Bridge, named after the late baseball player from Brooklyn.

God, don't close the Star-Ledger down while it blows the lid off Asian Swamp Eels.
