That's so scary ... something so severe and vicious at 8:50PM (which isn't even that late). I'm sure most businesses were open at that time, so there should have been more witness accounts ... saddening indeed.

How much gang activity is there in JH?

I was thinking the same thing... I read this story last night when they were calling it a hit and run but it just baffles me how severely beaten this person was to be thought to have been run over... I also agree that there have had to been witnesses... Very scary indeed... On the subject of gang activity I'm guessing there is more than we really notice... I heard that last night there was also a stabbing atthe KFC on 88 and northern around the same time of this incident... My brother and his friend were walking home when they walked by there and saw the paramedics and the victim.

Looks like the beating was caught on surveillance video:

Everything is working fine here...
Is your box still on the fritz?

I went to junior high with her... I was on tmz when the pole dancing controversy came out and her name sounded so familiar I just couldn't remember from where then it hit me and since I lost my 145 yearbook I looked for my autograph book (yes I still have that lol) and there was her message for me... She was just as bubbly and nice as she appears on tv...

I delivered both my kids at elmhurst and had a good experience... As for prenatal care I think it was quite frustrating at times going there and waiting forever to be seen but then again that seems to be the case at many hospitals... I had dr.lee the first time around and she was great a doctor who actually remembered her patients... Very kind lady great obgyn... Second time I felt my doc was just rushing all her patients didn't really like this one... And I agree the pediatric ER has been great except for one snooty doc who just rushed us ou only to get a second opinion from our regular doc and get diagnosed with an ear infection but oops I've sidetracked... I had good experiences but go where you feel comfortable... I wish your wife a happy and healthy pregnancy and congrats on the baby
I would also appreciate a good recommendation for a pediatrician as I am done taking my son to
elmhurst for his doc appointments it's absolutly ridiculous the wait time to be seen... thanks!

Lucky for me I've never had to visit the elmhurst ER but I have taken my kids to the pediatric ER more than once... Was attended to rather quickly and received Speedy treatment my then 6 month old son was having breathing problems... On the other hand my daughter was seen on the same day and received okay care but the doctor on call was not so nice he wouldn't listen and according to him my daughters high temperature was not a fever... He said when she has temp of 105 bring her in and he didn't listen to us when she said her ear was bothering her sent us off saying there was nothing He could do took he the next day To her regular pediatrician and behold she had an ear infection... My only real gripe with elmhurst is the pediatric clinic I've had appointments at 1 sometimes 2 in the afternoon only to be out of there close to 5 pm... Hours and hours of waiting only to be seen for not even 5 minutes by the doc... They really need to get on the ball and be more organized because the wait time to be seen is incredible...if I get out of there in 3 hours it's a miracle... My son had an appointment today @ 12 got there early and was finally able to leave after 3... If elmhurst could fix that one problem I'd be happy... But I will be changing to a private practice as I am sick and tires of spending my entire day at the hospital only to be seen for five minutes it's just not worth it.

Chuckster they are pretty cheap between 8-10 dollars which is why they fly off the shelves and have been very lucrative to resellers.... I just walked in to cvs on northern and 90 and they had the accessories just not the actual hamster    thinking of taking a trip to the 70's and see if I can find one there if not I'll keep stopping by everyday on the off chance I find one on the shelves.... Again if anyone does find them at a local cvs please let me know asap Or just get me one or two (2 is better as I have 2 kids) and I will gladly mee you and reimburse you for your purchase....my daughter is asking for one for x-mas and I would hate to disappoint her but if I can't find one I guess she'll just have to wait.... Spread some holiday cheer!  

okay so i want to take my kids to see Santa at the mall and have their picture taken.... does anyone know how it works? do you get your photo on the spot or do they mail it do you need to pick it up?? what's the deal?  i have prices and hours but I'm just wondering as to how that process works as i want the photos in time to mail them to their grandma...

Anyone know what was up today on 82 street in front of the building next to capital one bank where the cell phone store used to be.... Saw a ny1 mike and camera there and the podium had the new York seal on it also saw signs saying people losing thousands of dollars not sure what it was about.
