Breaking News

My Maria's angular face certainly looks tan. I miss Fox 25 minus Virgin Boy's commentary on Park Street, since TeeVee went digital.

'Yawn', can this stations stories be any more brain damaged?

When Seinfeld was on 25 at

When Seinfeld was on 25 at 11:30, I sued to wind up tuning into the news right before it - and I never really knew why. There's something annoyingly amateurish about the local Fox news - especially at the end of the show when they all stand there trying to be "cute" and chatty with each other. It's embarrassing.

So I'm glad that Seinfeld moved to ch.38 - and I really have no reason to ever tune into 25 again. ;-)

Stop playing me!

It tickles.

Is someone going to cite the cop for parking in a no-parking zone?

Or do they continue to enjoy full immunity?

Only On Fox

Because the other stations still have some minimal standards of what constitutes "news".

This is typical for the 111 bus to do that anywhere in Chelsea, many buses ride in tandem with each other so while one is picking up/dropping off people, the one behind it moves ahead. Its always a tight squeeze in Chelsea due to the way people park. Not too sure what Fox25 is talking about...

This is the police's fault, not the T drivers'

There's no good excuse for parking a police cruiser in the left lane like that, forcing all other traffic to squeeze by on the right.

The problem isn't that the

The problem isn't that the buses had to squeeze through a narrow opening. One driver got angry at the other for taking too long at a stop, and they got in a verbal and physical argument with their buses.

Today's Metro says both drivers are suspended with pay, pending an investigation.

visiblity

Ive gone through there and that cop does traffic enforcement when he parks his car there. He isn't really blocking anyone and it isn't a left lane, (since no one should be driving on that part of the road).
