I saw it first as I walked out to get Starbucks, I said "whoa, this doesn't look right." I heard the sound barrier break, and then made a few calls to see what was up. No word. Just as I walked out of Duane Reade, the plane flew insanely close to the financial building on the corner of Marin and C. C. At this point there were people crying and running for their lives! Soon after, people began evacuating and calling people on their cells. As we walked through the crowd, I heard at least 10 renditions of what was happening...you can imagine. We walked to Stubin St. to alert friends. By the time we walked back to Starbucks, it had pretty much cleared out and we had heard it was some photo op!?

Really not cool with todays fear factor. Something of this proportion should be publicized to at least put minds at ease and cork speculation.

On CNN, there was info on the Swine Flu; all I could think was "here we go, cover up". Sad that my mind went there.

I'm glad everything is okay and that we're all safe.

I've gotten the same vibe there.

I guess it's my fault for going against my cardinal rule to never going to a place that has the word "eria" in the name.

So where do we get the real deal?

Why yes! Incredible info.

Here is the scoop oh Phoebe (the musician)

Great story. It's think its our nature to pull the ole' "Grass is greener" once in a while. Most importantly, the little things that remind us of the good when we most need it!

I was eating in the Light horse tavern and thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye 3 or 4 times. After minimal research, and some coaxing, I found out that the Light horse was built on an old cemetery! The graves were not moved when they built it, nor was there a blessing of any kind. Although it's never been an uncomfortable situation to dine there, it was enough to raise my curiosity enough to dig a bit deeper. (pardon the pun) Who was buried there? JC forefathers? Any insight would be great.
