The FBI investigated two extortion attempts against TV and radio personality Art Linkletter in the 1950s, according to newly revealed documents. While Linkletter was not concerned about the threats, then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover launched probes that stretched from Queens to Hollywood to protect the creator of the popular “Kids Say the Darndest Things” [...]

Outside the Betances Community Center on St. Ann’s Avenue and East 146th Street, 20 or so young men and women wearing Army fatigues scrambled to form straight lines, then raised their chins and clasped their hands behind their backs. Eric Rodrieguez stood at the front of one of the lines. He is only 12 years [...]

City launches “Safe Start” account to help underbanked New Yorkers On a recent Saturday afternoon, Leo Lendy, a 21-year-old Mott Haven resident, walked out of the Pay-O-Matic on 149 th Street and Morris Avenue clutching a wad of cash. As an employee at the Hunts Point Fish market, Lendy typically gets a paycheck of more than $500 [...]

Recently I spent a day at the Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park. It’s like the blue-collar version of the Belmont track; a throwback to a bygone era when down and out New Yorkers from across the boroughs used to flock to the track to try their luck. The track, where Cigar kicked off his [...]

There was an article in the Times recently about Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, which just closed its outpatient dialysis clinic. According to the article, the public hospital decided to close its dialysis clinic as a cost-cutting measure – because it has too many undocumented patients. “For Grady, which has served Atlanta’s poor for 117 years, [...]

Last weekend I went to the Aqueduct to take photos. I used to spend a little time at Great Lakes Downs, the racetrack outside of Muskegon, Michigan. I didn’t bet much but I liked to watch the horses. Hanging out at the Aqueduct from 11 a.m. until the last race at 4:30 made me remember [...]

After weeks of listening to all the major news networks and papers harp on how mayoral candidate Bill “Seabiscuit” Thompson didn’t stand a chance in the face of Bloomberg’s money and power, election night was especially bittersweet. Or depressing, depending on how you look at things. Bloomberg did, in fact, prevail, just like the papers [...]

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. Last Sunday I was walking through Jamaica taking photos. As I rounded the corner of 171st Street and 90th Avenue, I noticed a black cat cross the street. Seconds later another cat followed, and then another, and another, until the handful of cats turned into a streaming deluge of cats, all headed towards the [...]

For the past few weeks, hope that a health care provider would save Jamaica’s 108-year-old Mary Immaculate Hospital seemed to fade with each IV pole, stretcher and stack of office paper loaded into moving vans. The Oct. 15 sale of Mary Immaculate Hospital, along with St. John’s Queens Hospital, to a developer appeared to be [...]

I’m going to bring it down a notch; partly because I’m too wrapped up in reporting on other things but not far along enough to expand upon them here, and partly because this week, there’s something else that’s been weighing on my mind. That something is one Freddie King, the “Texas Cannonball,” the spitfire make-you-want-to-get-toe-up-drunk-and-dance [...]

It’s been months since Jamaica’s Mary Immaculate Hospital closed. But for the past few weeks, former hospital and contract workers have spent their afternoons packing up the hospital’s innards to be shipped to other hospitals as far away as Tennessee. Everything in the 107 year-old hospital has been sold—from its reams of printer paper to [...]

Last week, at Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica, Queens, workers loaded IV machines, rolling chairs, and cardboard boxes into yellow moving vans. Overseeing the purge of the hospital’s innards were massive scrap bins and, behind them, on the green lawns of Rufus King Park, the poor and unemployed Jamaica residents who have suffered the most [...]

Here is an excellent story about a Queens woman who is fighting to keep her house. Jacqueline Tamaklo’s story is similar to many I’ve heard reported in the media. After she emigrated to New York from Ghana, she opened her own business. She dreamed of starting a family and owning her own home. So Jackie, a [...]

Last week I took a stroll through Jamaica, Queens. With new development projects on the way and a bustling business district, Jamaica seems to be thriving. But if you walk a little further, you’ll start to notice the abandoned houses. Sometimes it’s just one house on a block, sometimes four. But their presence is a [...]

Bye-bye, biscotti.
The owners of Stella D’oro, the longtime Bronx Italian cookie and breadstick baker, said they have sold the company – and its operations will be moving to Ohio by the end of the month.
Some 150 union and other plant workers will be out on the street.
