"These are heady days in the Streetsblog newsroom. First, for the past few months, we've been sharing space with the estimable news outlet, New York Focus. It's been nice having another dozen or so reporters hanging around, pushing us to do better and correcting our typos while also listening to us drone on and on about psychotic drivers ( especially yesterday)."
"The reason: our latest hire, Henry Beebe-Center. Henry's a few years out of University of Vermont and back from doing his California thing (he muttered something about making it in Hollywood, but Tinseltown's loss is our gain). Look, all young men are supposed to go west, right, but that Boulevard of Broken Dreams and suburban hellscape always leads back to Gotham - where now Henry can indulge his obsession with urbanism."
Streetsblog staff have been sharing office space with New York Focus, increasing collaboration and informal editorial oversight. A public transportation forum titled "The Next New York: Are We There Yet?" is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 28 at Littlefield in Park Slope, featuring leaders from NYPIRG, Tri-State Transportation Campaign, Riders Alliance, former DOT Commissioner Hank Gutman, and Transportation Alternatives; a half-price ticket code streetsblog50 is offered. Streetsblog hired Henry Beebe-Center to expand Instagram and YouTube content; he recently produced a vertical video on Central Park. News items include parking cone misuse, a Streetsblog appearance on Bike Talk, a fatal 107 mph crash, and a reported secret fare hike.
