Unfortunately our local Councilman invited people on probation from prison to clean the neighborhood. We also have two high schools nearby. Tough kids who thieve try all doors. We all have to toughen up now. Wouldn’t want to get back from lunch break to walk in on an intruder.

I really can’t understand how videos like this don’t implicate suspects 100% of the time.

Crime is down isn’t it Mr. DumBlasio. LIC seems to be seeing more and more burglaries.

Gentrification. When you see a neighborhood where people are paying at least $3000 per month for a studio, it’s assumed that’s where the money is. The divide between the rich and poor is so great now- didn’t DeBlahsio promise to fix that? He’s only helped to make it worse.

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
