November 19, 2012 Weather: Sunny, High of 48 Degrees.

Notices:
A Ken Burns talk and book-signing, a Bob Dylan interpreter and more Upper West Side events are on our calendar.

News:
Another broad daylight attack occurred in Central Park on Friday: “A 42-year-old female was walking her small dog by the tennis courts near W. 95th Street at approximately 9:00 a.m.  She was looking at her I Phone when she was approached by a teen. He hit her in the face and stole her phone….The assailant was described as black, 6 feet tall, between 13- 15 -years-old, slim and was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.” A woman was also groped by a teen earlier this month. (A Walk in the Park)

Regular recycling pickups were suspended after the hurricane, but the sanitation department apparently continued to delay pickups even after they were supposed to resume. The result: sky-high bags of recycling throughout the neighborhood. “In a statement, Kathy Dawkins from the Department of Sanitation said that regular recycling pickup resumed on Sunday, but that ‘equipment and personnel are being deployed to help fellow New Yorkers begin to restore their lives.'” (DNAinfo)

Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who was expected to throw his hat in the run for mayor…is now planning to run for comptroller. Why do Upper West Side politicians always balk in their attempts at the city’s top office (or lose trying)? (CBS)

Bryan Cranston, the actor from Breaking Bad and Argo, remembers his early days as an actor on the Upper West Side: “He declared, in front of his old apartment complex, on West Seventy-first, ‘This is it! The ugliest building on the block.” It certainly was. “Four hundred and seventy-five dollars a month,” he explained. ‘My friends and I would take gourds up to the roof, after Halloween, and toss them off.'” (New Yorker)

More on Philip Roth, who apparently has an apartment on the Upper West Side, and his decision to stop writing books. (NY Times)
