From Crane Collapses to Politics as Unusual: 2008 in Review

Here are our picks for the top stories that affected NYC and our state this year. It's been a very eventful year.

Change Has Come to America, November 4: The eagerly anticipated 2008 election—complete with long lines at voting districts— brought a historic win, with the first African-American elected as the 44th president. Celebrations occurred all over the city and there was even a run on newspapers. (Photograph of celebration in Harlem by dantekgeek. )

You missed the best story of the year... How can you not include the President's near death by shoe? Love him or hate him that had to be one of the top three by my estimate.
