Yesterday, a two-alarm fire broke out in a Corona home and after firefighters put it out, they found the body of 5-year-old Jason Guallpa, curled up behind a TV. The police later arrested his 24-year-old brother Diego with endangering the welfare of a child. Diego Guallpa was supposed to be baby-sitting his younger brother, but he decided to meet his accountant and file his tax returns. He left little Jason in the home alone (a......

The NY Times' Styles section describes the lonely existence of new residents of the Plaza Hotel condos. Why lonely? Well, if you can afford the pricey digs ($6,400 per square foot!; an owner interviewed paid $5.8 million for a two bedroom), your neighbors are also rich people who probably have other residences and don't live there very often.

We know we've been missing him lately, so tonight's the night to head over to Symphony Space (95th and Broadway) to check out Wong and Stephen Lang read stories from Roald Dahl and J.

The condo-conversion at the Plaza wasn't going to be surprise anyone with a hefty pricetag. But who knew that a one bedroom would cost $4.5 million? Oh, okay, that 1155 square-foot one bedroom has Central Park views - one with inferior views goes for $2 million. The viewless two-three bedrooms are $3.75-8.5 million, while the park views means the asking price is a few million more. And the triplex duplex - $32.5 million. Upside: There......
