Just saw a news report on Staten Island. They found the bodies of two little boys (brothers, 2 &4 yrs I believe)who had been missing.  How sad People there are upset cause they aren't getting supplies/help quick enough. They said the Red Cross had 10 trucks on their way with supplies, but the traffic was a major holdup. I saw lines of cars trying to get gas. OMG. TIS

Wow, how awful MC. Glad tho that everyone is ok. Is your area without power? Be safe TIS Power has been restored where I am, but I don't have TV or internet. Being close to the eye I think we avoided the big winds. Many reports have the Atlantic City boardwalk in ruins. The only section that was damaged was the inlet section which was slated for demolition and rebuild. Demolition is now complete. The dunes did their job. 12 casinos, no damage.

I just heard that Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and Sting will be headlining a benefit concert on Friday night. So far I know that it will be on NBC & Bravo networks. Yea, I heard that too. Sounds great. Btw, the MSNBC website (front page) was running a slide show of the devastation on Staten Island. Really some heart-wrenching pictures. For some reason, I couldn't copy/paste the link.

SB, I'm amazed at the damage in Stanton Island. They showed this woman who said "All I wanna do is go home and I have no home" as she stood by all the debris of what once was her home. She was rummaging thru rubble and pulled up what was left of a wedding picture of her mother. That was all she had left.  So sad! TIS

From what I saw on a newscast earlier this evening, the Coney Island part of Brooklyn (not actually an island, more of a peninsula) took a major hit.
Most all the stores and the amusement park areas are, basically, within a block or so of the ocean. Nathan's suffered major damage, and so did the well-known Gargiulo's Italian restaurant (five feet of water inside).
What they didn't say, and what I saw on only one local newscast last night, was the amount of looting along areas of Mermaid Ave. and Neptune Ave. The storm blew in many stores' security gates. According to one local resident, gangs of looters took anything and everything that wasn't nailed down.
Amazingly enough, the Coney Island Boardwalk survived intact and was undamaged.
But it looks like it will be quite a while before folks will be chowing down on any Nathan's hot dogs.

Still w/o power after 2 days, on my iPhone on a sporadic connection, so a pain in the ass. Lots to say, but little patience doing it this way, while at the same time trying to conserve my battery that I can only charge in my car, wasting gas. Lol
That concert lineup is amazing!! But TOMORROW night??? Most of those affected wont have power to watch it :-/
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

PS - Go on YouTube for Bon Jovi's IN AND OUT OF LOVE video recorded in Seaside Heights in the mid-80s.... That stage had been there 30 years, until a couple days ago. Most everything has apparently been destroyed in such shore towns up and down the coast. :-/ As much as we like to love/hate Seaside, it's still been a life-long neighbor, and it's sad

Hey SC! Good to see you back on the BB.  Hang in there my friend. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon. Do you see any clean-up in your area? Keep in touch!! TIS

Hey guys! glad to hear you're ok. SC - 12 layers???? can you move??  take care, good man. JG, how ironic that Bon Jovi's disastrous album is linked to another disaster. Not to mention the name of that album - 7800 Fahrenheit. But I do have 3 songs from there on my player  Take care, brothers and sisters; you have my love and support.

I'm guessing you all know that there will be a benefit concert for the victims of Sandy tonight. Not sure exactly where this will take place though. It will include, Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel & Sting (maybe more, but that's what I heard so far).  I heard it'll be on NBC, MSNBC and maybe more channels. It will be taped live back East, but we on the West Coast, I understand, will see it on a time delay at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Check your listings for your time. TIS

...if only this forum had TV listings...  Hey TIS! Hey Babe! have I added you guys on Facebook? it's Fame Forhood. Only I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do there  Should I sit and write funny statuses all day? play Mafia Wars? I think I like this playground more. I should be here more often.
