American stock markets wrapped up one of their strongest weeks in two years with further gains on Friday, erasing their losses from earlier in June.
An unexpected upturn in manufacturing and easing of concerns about a public-debt default in Greece were the driving forces.

NYFD has released the findings of their investigation, which indicates that a candle was responsible for the Bronx fire killing a 12 year old boy and his parents, back in April 24. Fire marshals say that blaze was an accident.
Although the building was in foreclosure and it's ownership is under dispute, the case led NYC officials to crack down on illegally subdivided buildings.
There are a few places in NYC where one can watch dancers perform. But at Midsummer Night Swing - Happening until July 16, these roles are reversed, and it’s you who is doing all the dancing.
he annual event transforms Lincoln Center into an open-air dance studio. Big-name and local bands perform nightly, playing swing and salsa to tango and disco, and everyone’s invited to boogie.
The lively summer festival is as much about participating as it is about performing, with free dance classes and sessions taught by local instructors.

The other day when I was considering buying a used car, I needed an expert opinion from an auto mechanic.
I did what any City Islander would probably do - I drove over to the only garage on the island and asked the mechanic to take a quick look at the vehicle. What a mistake i made. He immediately refused, started yelling, and flailing his arms.
Later, an old friend explained that it is in his DNA to act up like this. He said his father was even a worse grouch than his son is. So, I accepted this explanation and went on the Internet to search for a AAA garage.
Orchard Beach's Boardwalk Festival and Fireworks will be held tonight. This is a public beach in the borough of the Bronx in New York City.

Once referred to as "the Riviera of New York City", the 115 acre, 1.1 mi-long (1.77 km) park consists of a 13-section sandy beach. Come and bring the entire family for music, fun. An American Celebration.
