New York Magazine has an interesting map and tidbits of crime in NYC, which is now being touted as being one of the safest cities in the country. Granted that there will always be crime, there’s some really bizarre stuff listed. Take a look for yourself HERE

Here’s one just a block away from my apartment:

9th Street and 5th Ave — “December 9, 2007: At 4 p.m., a 24-year old man pushed a woman headfirst into scaffolding and took her purse before being tackled and captured by two bystanders.”

BTW- those waiting for my Thailand stories and pictures bear with me. I have 20 gigs of photos for a grand total of 4,000+ photos taken, and it’s taking a long time to go through them (even just to pick a few highlights). With the long weekend, I should have something up by MLK day.
