A sports utility vehicle is stuck in a sinkhole in the Brooklyn section of New York after a water main break caused the street to give way Monday. The driver of the vehicle was not seriously injured, according to the fire department.

i like killy's notion. perhaps if the SUV had fallen all the way through, it would have been greeted by angry dinosaurs and....Sleestacks!

Cutting Bay Ridge off from NYC = not a crisis

2001 Odyssey (currently Spectrum): This disco landmark where "Saturday Night Fever" was filmed has sadly just closed it's doors on February 12, 2005 and will be demolished, as reported in the NYTimes this week. The original light up dance floor will be auctioned on EBay in April.

I have so many great memories hanging out here on Saturdays & Thursdays during it's incarnation as the gay club Spectrum since 1987. Saw so many great shows here like Divine, Village People, France Joli, Hazell Dean, Lime, Evelyn Champagne King, Alisha, Chaka Khan..many many more! Regrettably I have not been there in about a year and I will miss this place! It was always such a throwback & off the beaten path type of blast and can never be duplicated.

if we cut off bay ridge we also cut off the verrazzano bridge (so, no staten island either hurrah).

I always wonder about the gay club scene in Bay Ridge, mostly because I've shopped at Music Factory on Fulton, a few blocks west of Beat Street, and they carry so much hi-nrg, I couldn't really figure out who the market was for that.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 18:38 (twenty years ago)

my co-worker, whos from long island but could be at home in bay ridge, is all about the hi-nrg shit....those people like that sort of stuff real loud when theyre out cruising...

my sister's father-in-law lives in bay ridge and i'm pretty sure he wouldn't even notice if you could no longer get to manhattan from there. or to anywhere.
