  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A car vs. building on Kings Highway in Brooklyn, a water main break on St Marks Pl on Staten Island, and a home invasion robbery/shooting on 223rd St in Queens.
  • If it's Thanksgiving, then there will be deep-fried turkey fire incidents.
  • Barneys security caught a thief who attempted to hide two suits (one Gucci, one Alexander McQueens) inside his pants.
  • Two of many Citymeals-on-Wheels volunteers, actress Kathleen Turner and her daughter helped prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals to the needy in East Harlem.
  • A woman who allegedly killed an 11-year-old in a hit-and-run turned herself in and had her bail set at $250,000. Newsday says the suspect "had just finished a court-ordered driver safety course and had a suspended license."
  • Because apple prices have fallen, NY apple farmers say they are leaving imperfect apples on trees because it's cheaper than picking them and juicing them.
  • And on Thanksgiving, slightly more people went to see the inspirational/"Precious for white people" football movie The Blind Side over Twilight.

Another hit and run by a serial violator. Licenses should be taken away, not suspended after a 2nd or 3rd incident.

Uh, Jen? The two turkey fire stories cover the same fire. Manufacturers should include a DVD of the Good Eats episode about deep fried turkey safety ("Fry, Turkey, Fry") with every fryer.

If there were two links to the same story as the above comment hints, and you removed one... you removed the wrong one. Why link to Newsday's subscription-only articles when few of your readers can read them?

As much as I agree, I hope too many people won't heed turkey safety advice. Those stories are the best part of waking up after Thanksgiving.

100% agreed. I just wish there was more video.
