October in New York

Diversity in NYC – Latino Jews in Crown Heights.

As a follow up to weird NYC animal stories – like the dog on the ledge in the Upper West Side, there’s the story of the cat stuck in a car engine (Channel 7 has the AP version, but when they were showing the video on tv, my jaw dropped by how weird the story was; there’s also the Daily News postings here and here). I was pretty stunned by how dramatic the pictures were, but good that the kitty was ok (that is one big and furry cat, by the way).

Is graffiti on the High Line art or grime? Do we want grime or no grime?
