    Was waiting for the elevator at Filene's in the Cappelli City Center and opened the wall mounted red box labled "Fire Warden" out of curiosity. Inside was a bare wire and nothing else. Is there supposed to be something there in case of an emergency? This was the elevator area on the Mamaroneck Avenue side of Filene's.

    Thank You and Keep Cool.

    Can't complain since I got in for free, but this movie was quite lousy and overly vulgar like every other Adam Sandler film.

    Were those real rigs used? Did not appear to be the usual ones from pixxcars.com or movietimecars.com. I believe the firehouse used was someplace in Brooklyn, but some of the early scenes of rigs enroute to jobs may have been done in Los Angeles.

    Usually when training rigs are rented, the filmmakers stick on non existent firehouse numbers.

    But that wasn't the case this time...never saw a movie rig with a tiller either until now.

    FYI: The first fire of the turreted building was actually done on St. Nicholas Avenue uptown.

    This position has nothing to do with the 911 dispatchers except that it will be located nearby.

    Oswegowind: Did you really get a call from a scanner user ???!!!

    If somebody from the media calls asking about a job, will they get an answer or be told to call the Commissioner's office???

    Is that your child in the picture eating junk food ??? ??

    Was told there was also a stolen Honda with PA plates chased by Anti Crime someplace in northwest Yonkers and ending with a foot chase into the old carpet shops on Lake Avenue at Nepperhan.

    Perp I think escaped onto a very, very low rooftop, but left behind his girlfriend and pit bull in the stolen car.

    This was a day after or before the BP incident.

    Those temporary paper dealer plates are another scam begging for a traffic stop.

    Glad to hear the YPD force has increased, seems like every other perp has guns...and good luck changing the retirement rules for dispatchers. Long overdue.

    With the foiling of the recent JFK gas line explosion plot, was wondering logisticly if mass casualties can result if a gas line is sabotaged. The utility company claims it would not happen as easily as presented in the media. Maybe this was just bs media fodder, maybe not. They claim a long distance explosion throughout the gas line cannot occur if one point is detonated.

    I remembered seeing an entire neighborhood devastated a few years back in either South New Jersey or maybe Pennsylvania after a gas line somehow exploded. Thinking of this is absolutely frightening.

    Channel 13's "Expose" segment last night about railroad chemical tankers as potential targets was quite disturbing.

    Sorry, but it's only a matter of time one way or another for us unfortunately. Hate saying it...

    How do so many non residents continue to get away with registering their vehicles in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc ?????

    It came to mind after reading about the MVA in Yonkers with injuries on Odell Avenue yesterday. The owner's NY address was located this time by a lucky break, but what happens if the driver escapes and your only clue is a license plate registered out of state ?? How can you determine the identity of the NY resident owner??

    This is a big problem with illegals doing hit and run accidents.

    Thank You and stay cool.

    Saw the disturbing report on Channel 2 news the other night about easy to make sode bottle chlorine bombs and very stupid kids who use them.

    Has anybody encountered them in Westchester???

    I hope the answer is no....cringe at the thought of perps chucking them off rooftops or out of moving vehicles, etc. Very disturbing...

    Not only will the stadium riders benefit, but so will the entire surrounding area.

    Watch for the Yuppie pioneers to slowly embrace this area.

    You might laugh, but they are already moving into a few buildings along the nearby Grand Concourse. In particular, Executive Towers, it's the big white brick co-op with the Caesar's Palace type statues outside.

    The MTA previously would not commit to building the station without knowing if the Yanks would stay in the Bronx. There is a piece in today's NY Post about a new retail mall being built nearby just off the Deagan. The Bronx Terminal Market and House of Detention have both been demolished for this project.

    Oswegowind,

    Speaking of license plate checks, can plates from foreign countries be run through NYSPIN or any other law enforcement database ?

    Was under the impression that Canadian plates are the only ones linked into USA lae enforcement databases and it might only be those from eastern Canadian provinces such as Ontario and Quebec. Can anybody clarify this??

    Also, do the license plate readers work through vehicle glass?

    Was thinking if they can be discreetly mounted inside of undercover vehicles such as vans, etc.

    Thank You.
