Coyotes Roaming Suburban New York

012710coyote.jpg People move to the suburbs because of the schools and the back yards and the "safety"—and besides, when they did live in the city, they spent every night snuggling on the couch with Netflix anyway. Towns like Greenburgh (right by Dobbs Ferry, and... Irvington) are just a short Metro North ride away, and you can always make plans to come into town to meet old friends for dinner and then cancel at the last minute. But don't be fooled! The suburbs aren't as safe as your traitorous married friends claim: Last year there was a panther roaming the Hudson town of Sneden's Landing (still at large!) and yesterday a coyote attacked a 56-year-old Greenburgh woman, who is now hospitalized in stable condition. Later—just to make sure everybody got the message—the coyote bit a pit bull. It wouldn't dare pull this shit in Carroll Gardens.

    Way to go by bashing the suburbs. Though some places in the suburbs can be another whole city in itself.

    LEAVE THE SUBURBS ALONE!!!

    Like White Plains?



    Last time I went to the Hudson Valley was to Sleepy Hollow, what a weird and mysterious place that was!

  • Kelles

    Did the coyote look like Benicio Del Toro or Taylor Lautner?

  • Mookie Wilson

    Dobbs Ferry is a shithole. Hopefully that poor coyote didn't catch anything.

  • Amanda Harletsch

    perhaps they're looking for all those disappeared geese.

  • hotstepper

    fear the mystical powers of nature suburbanites!
