- David Cruz shares memories of the Italian festival at Holy Rosary church, where he ran into Guy Catrillo — recent Ward E council candidate and one of the dozen and a half Chilltown pols caught up in the federal corruption probe. He also wonders if the pay-to-play ordinance that the council is currently considering would push developer campaign cash under the table.
- Douglas Carlucci has six questions for Mayor Healy about what he knew and when.
- New York’s Sixth visualizes the Columbus Drive expansion proposal, and a lively debate ensues in the comments.
- Dislocations continues the ethnic festival coverage with the Ecuadorian Parade and Festival and an insider’s look at the making of rice balls for the Holy Rosary feast.
- Leave it to Marie Javins to be the one with the cojones to ask those fellas hanging out in a storefront on Brunswick Street — where the Sneaker Room used to be — just what the heck they’re doing there. Turns out it’s exactly what it appears to be: just a bunch of guys hanging out.
- Draw & Quarter reports that Port-O, a chic new Newark Avenue lounge, may or may not be open. I can attest that it is.
