- From the Gothamist Newsmap: A perp search at E 144th & Bruckner (near the Coca Cola Plant) in the Bronx, a fire at W 25 St & 10th Ave in Manhattan, and shots fired on 33rd Street in Queens.
- A rescue operation is under way to remove 180 cats from a Long Island home. Newsday reports the owner is giving up the felines willing because she cannot afford to feed them anymore.
- A contractor was charged with stealing $1.2 million from the Deutsche Bank building demolition project. Oddly enough, the city allowed Robert Chiarappa to stay on the project, though he worked for questionable sub-contractor John Galt Corp., which was taken off the job.
- Smith Street restaurant Patois is closing; owner Alan Harding says they are looking at other spaces for possible new locations.
- Because of layoffs at CBS News, the lead reporter for its stories on Israel is usually the London-based Mark Phillips. The Observer notes that's just 2,200 miles away!
- If two dancers for the New Jersey (and, someday, Bruce Ratner hopes, Brooklyn) Nets move to Brooklyn, does that mean the Nets might actually play there some day?
- Giants quarterback Eli Manning turned 28 last week and headed to Tenjune where he got a lapdance... from his wife Abby.
- Aw: Cute polar bear Flocke (of the Nuremburg Zoo) has a new friend: A Russian bear on a one-year stopover before heading to Spain!
- Just a stranger on the bus: Does Joan "If God Were One of Us" Osborne live in Cobble Hill?

wow. news of a jumper at the ESB and then directly below a pic of Frosty on a high floor of another building...you stay classy Gothamist...
Ugh, that was totally unintentional, pkreder. The EA picture was selected much earlier.
frosty isn't going to jump, he's waving to his fans.
happy birthday!
MetroCard has been used to establish an alibi--news item
TALE THE 'A' TRAIN
It's the biggest bargain in this town,
Protection that's hard to buy;
For just two greasy bucks you get
A ride and an alibi.
I can't believe that Smith St. is going to loose Patois. The service, food and atmosphere is just lovely - not to mention that beautiful patio out back. Hope they find new real estate really soon.
Don't jump, Frosty!
