1. Insurance rates/Corners/Bx Rvr/Brosi [1]
Hi all, Several topics here... Auto theft down by 59%, accidents down 11%... rates? UP over 26% during the same period. This has local officials fuming. Corner's owner has paid a penalty of $400,000 and must now pay back all of his profits from an illegal numbers operation headquartered at the White Plains Road store just north of Allerton. Thanks to 'our own' Rep. Jose Serrano for his efforts on maintaining the Bronx River. In reply to Edward's post -- Sorry, no listing for 'Brosi' in the local phon
2. A few replies... [1]
I think the safety warning signs in subway cars are mostly pictograms now. A sign like that would have been at the ends of the cars, just outside the conductor/motorman (er... train operator) cabs. BTW -- the newer trains don't all have such cabs. The ones that do, have full width cabs -- the conductor no longer needs to switch cars to open doors on the opposite side of the train. The MTA has also been testing a new train on the #2 White Plains Road line. Among the features: fully electronic signs and

On the subject of bizarre lawsuits... The tree that fell on a bus full of school kids was reported to the city as overgrown and in need of a trim. Additionally, the bus was not a traditional yellow school bus. It was a passenger van that lacked much of the reinforcements used in official school vehicles. There was a story that made the network news just this morning -- a near riot at Rikers Island (which is part of Bronx County) and the DA referring to it as a scam to create a bogus lawsuit. Sorry, that
4. Crumble in da Bronx [1]
Still no word if Yankee Stadium is safe enough to reopen on Friday. Repairs to the broken beam are well under way, and an army of about 300 city building inspectors are poking holes into the the ceilings, checking on the condition of other beams. Wednesday's game has been relocated to Shea. First pitch has been moved up to 12:30 and the Yanks must be off the field no later than 4:30. Seems like a logistical nightmare is in the works with Yankee fans leaving, Mets fans arriving and all of it at rush hour.
5. The Sky is Falling! [1]
Well, almost... A 500 pound support beam came crashing through the ceiling over the lodge area at Yankee Stadium this afternoon, just hours before the start of tonight's game. It was fortunate that the stadium was empty at the time, as the beam fell directly onto front row seats in that section. Tonight's came was called due to "Technical Difficulties" and the next game will also be postponed. The city (owner of the stadium) will repair the damage and will send a team of building inspectors to check on

7. Tree story [1]
The story that ran locally had the following paragraph to explain the fine: The parks department said bicycle chains can damage the bark of a tree, making it more susceptible to falling on a passerby in a storm. Damage "can" be possible, implying there was none in this case, hence the waiving of the fine.

8. FLASH!>> Yankee Staduim CLOSED! [1]
After the Yanks fifth straight win came some shocking news... Tonight's game was called on account of "Technical Difficulties" but now the announcement came out that the stadium has severe structural problems and will remain closed until further notice. The Yankees are working on a schedule that would shift future games to Shea Stadium. St. Luke's RC Church is still around at 138 th Street. In other local news... The daily MetroCard has seen a snag and will not debut when the weekly and monthly cards w
9. Where is everybody??? [1]
At least I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather we are having here. A few random notes... Opening Day II at Yankee Stadium -- George sat through part of the game, as promised, in the very seat under the beam that fell. Jay Leno had a few jokes to tell about the entire story. It seems as if the Mets will be getting their new stadium, with a targeted "move-in" date of 2002. Among the features: a retractable roof and a playing field that 'rolls' out of the way for other events. To top it all off,
10. Yankee Stadium -update [1]
Well, the inspectors are only partially through their work and though they have not yet found any serious damage, there is enough to keep the stadium closed for more than a week. This means that there will be no 75th anniversary event at the stadium. The 'beam' that came loose (now referred to as an "expansion joint" connecting other beams) did considerable damage, crushing one seat, damaged an entire row and created a six inch hole in the concrete floor. Steinbrenner himself vowed to sit in that very se
11. News from da Bronx... [1]
Guiliani again stated that he would like to keep the Yanks in da Bronx, but at the same time offered a proposal to build a "new" Yankee Stadium over the west side rail yards in Manhattan. (He also suggested rebuilding the current stadium and perhaps another alternative as well.) The money would come out of a fund that was about to reduce commercial property taxes. In other Yankee news... Has anyone seen the cute TV commercial for Brisk Iced Tea? It has an entire cast of 'characters' from yesteryear. "

16. NYC Speed Limit -- 15mph! [1]
In an ongoing effort to make NYC a better place, the Mayor decided that we should be driving no faster than 15 miles per hour in some areas of the city. Trouble is, the Mayor does not have the authority to reduce the speed limit to such a low level without the State's OK. What's next...?

Greetings all, Sorry -- I just noticed I deleted most of the message I typed yesterday as I was sending it. Apologies! Speaking of that... A local item making news again today -- A local merchant was given a $1,000 fine for leaving his delivery bike outside the store. No, not because it was on the sidewalk, but because it was chained to a tree. No damage to the tree -- just a chain looped around it and the bike. But then Parks Commissioner Henry Stern said that the fine would be waived if the perso

Fordham University recently won a court dispute regarding their half-built radio tower. The Botanical Garden has made every attempt to halt construction calling it an eyesore and a danger to wildlife. It is now up to the FCC to decide. At the very least, the tower will need to be dismantled and rebuilt about 30 feet from its present location (at the very edge of the FU Campus, just across from the conservatory) to comply with City building codes. At 550+ feet, it will be the tallest structure in the Bro

20. Yankees, and inter-generational stuff [0.978381]
Dad was, and still is, into participatory, not spectator sports. I think he single-handedly taught "Flyer's Up" to a generation of Co-op City youth. (He also isn't into that whole Little League regimentation/competition thing -- just get out there and hit the ball and catch the flies.) But this meant I went to about one baseball game with him in my life, when we got complementary tickets to a Mets/Braves game. (I think Hank Aaron was playing.) Sorry about that. He was, however, a Yankees fan, dating ba

22. Re: FLASH!>> Yankee Staduim CLOSED! [0.978381]
I was about 7 years old when my father took me to the Yankee Stadium. We lived at 1060 Sheridan Ave, in walking distance of the ball park. We used to hear the roar of the crowd from there to our block whenever an important play was made. Anyway while sitting in the park enjoying my hot dog, my father said, "see this guy. he's going to hit a home run". I watched and saw this ballpayer hit a home run and I thought my father was the smartest guy in the world. How could he know such a thing? It was years lat
23. More Memories of Orchard [0.978381]
Dominick mentioned that he learned how to drive in Orchard Beach's parking lot. Well, I forgot that I too did some of my driving there with a learner's permit. Also, my former husband was teaching my mom how to drive there in the parking lot. He would take two big garbage pails and make her drive between them (and she was really doing quite well), but we got divorced and that was the end of my mother's driving lessons. She was thrilled that I finally got rid of him, but she said I could have AT LEAST w
