State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal has gotten the city DOT to reinstall a bus shelter on 72nd Street just west of Broadway that was taken away when Trader Joe’s was built.
Monique sends us the following plea about her lost cat: “My cat went missing on June 17th on 77th street between Columbus and CPW. I have literally been posting signs for 8 days and they keep getting torn down. I am searching for her day and night. Am desperate to get the word out (with her picture). Also, a reward.” See pictures below and let her know if you find it by calling 917-841-3400.
Anyone else think we should name a street on the Upper West Side for longtime local Nora Ephron?
