127th St. Fire

Got to see NY's Bravest respond to a small fire. Lots of good drama, but no real fire to speak of. Just some acrid smoke...

and lots and lots of sparks!



Just then, a bundle of pink balloons floated by!




All in all, good and professional response. Remember, when its cold, fire is a serious danger.

This is 128th Street, not 127.

I walk down 127th often so I was confused when I didn't recognize this block.

I'd really like to know who owns all the abandoned properties on the block below this... so close to the A/C/B/D train yet one of the biggest abandoned areas in this part of Harlem.

Right...sorry about the Ted. 128th St. is correct. As for that parcel of unused land on 127th, I have seen some development renderings of hotels and such. I think those will stay on the drawing board till the economy turns around.
