A portion of the Manhattan island might become an amusement park - pay,
park and have fun. Pay extra if you come to the city by a vehicle.
Some of the obvious benefits are: less air pollution, less gas
wasted during a stand-still traffic, less traffic, less agitation for
both pedestrians and drivers, more walking is better for health.
But walking takes longer you say - NOT, longer than your
sitting-in-traffic time! For a detailed proposal read the
nydailynews.com article and make your own decisions but think about
the future, too.

Con Edison is under heat in two ways. It's getting
hotter and the system may not handle the load as the ACs that are being
turned on. Customers are worried about possible situations,
similar to the last summer's outages, when Queens residents were left
without electricity, some for a full week. The concern was raised
after the power outages in parts of the Bronx and in the Yorkville part
of Manhattan on 06/27/07 (press
release). However, Con Edison is doing more and is prepared
better to serve its customers. Please, visit
customer central for more hints and tips.

educate people about the hazards of smoking and its side effects.
Smoking Kills!
