IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Highlight of the week: being the first local blog to catch on to Sludgie the Whale in the Gowanus Canal. Lowlight: VTech shooting and Sludgie dying suddenly. Increasing use of the photoshop skills in this week's entries. Let's take a look:
A Little Competition Never Hertz
Hertz stats an hourly rental service in NYC to go head-to-head with Zipcar. I guess that it will probably come down to customer service, like car availability, and the commentors agree with woeful tales.
Extra, Extra - 4/17/07
Staten Island Ferry passengers are tossed by story seas and slamming into the pier, a kid is shot in the neck and no one's talking, and a Chinatown apartment is trashed by hipsters.
Blackberry Jam
RIM's network gets dunked overnight and Blackberry users may have to consider alternate modes of communication, like speaking.
C-eau-ney Island
Downtown perfumer designs a scent inspired by Coney Island, but you can't smell the hot dogs or fried clams.
Clear for Takeoff on the East River
Mayor Bloomberg wants to turn NYC's waterways into runways using and I reminisce about Howard Hughes' 'Spruce Goose'. Some commentors are almost fooled by my photoshopping.
Extra, Extra - 4/18/07
Gondola between Brooklyn and Manhattan via Governors Island is still in the works, the search for the Hamilton Heights rapist-torturer draws closer, and a to-do over naming streets in the City Council.
