    The prewar buildings off Joralemon worked in there many times. Lucky its on the 1st floor. Its a pain in the ass with all the stairs to get to the top floor.

    10/5/24 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 4551

    I lived in Tottenville from '95-'98 and Page Av had less than half the stores there are now. That part where the restaurant is wasn't even cleared yet. One of the last places on that side was at the time called the Front Page Diner and across the street was nothing. To still have only 151/76 the...

    8/26/2024 Brooklyn Hazmat Box 3535

    Ignorant morons is about the only explanation as to why anyone would do something this dumb. Any person or animal who possibly came in contact with that garbage would have been in trouble. Hazmat is obviously prepared to handle this but not the public. I'm sure at least some of the containers...

    Brings back memories I spent alot of time on that roof running wire to the pole across the street. It wasn't a Citi Bike shop then. That neighborhood has had alot of change. The DSNY garage is over there also.

    "FIRESTORM" book.

    Television from a different time

    I remember my parents had The Button Down Mind Of Bob Newhart album. His ability to have a one sided telephone conversation and make it funny was genius. The Bob Newhart Show had some hilarious characters in his office as did Newhart. Something about him just made you sit, relax and enjoy his...

    7/13/24*Birds v. Drones [!]

    Maybe they think the drones are in their territory competing for food. I saw 5 or 6 crows attack a vulture that was sitting on the roof of the house behind me. They were diving on him and eventually he left and I never saw him again.

    AUTOMATED CAMERA ENFORCEMENT.

    Absolutely! Just looking at the 2nd alarm fire in Brooklyn yesterday one of these things started a fire that blocked the only stairway. Fortunately no one was killed and the FDNY members did a great job of making sure this wasn't a major loss of life. The anti gun mutts want to make every...

    6/20/24 Bronx 4th Alarm Box 2297

    I was wondering why they went through the car also. He was parked too close but it seemed like it took longer to do that than just go around it.
