The 1899 City Island Bridge, which has been connecting this slice of NYC paradise with Rodman's Neck on the US mainland is about to have its iconic top come down. Meanwhile, there is an increasing fear of isolation and concern to some residents.
A number of states are holding primaries for local government elections today.
Registered voters in several states are casting their ballots to determine which government candidates will compete in the general election, mostly for local and state office holders.
NY Assemblyman Bill Nojay was up for re-election but we learned that he fatally shot himself over the weekend. If he wins this election, party leaders in the three-county district will be required to nominate another candidate within 10 days.
There is one more rose in Spanish Harlem, where I met up with an old friend and journalist Isolda Peguero, La Periodista, as well as meeting new ones. But if you can, try them this weekend to enjoy fine tapas and delicious botanas, along with an open air ambiance. BE King https://youtu.be/OGd6CdtOqEE

American voters are increasingly frustrated with the choices for president of The United States of America.
From the major candidates, one side has chosen a member of what could be a political dynasty of US presidents, who is secretive and prefers not to confide with the press or the government.
On the other side, we have an egomaniac birther-liars who insults religions, administrators, justices, legislators, and US military but has managed to pull the wool over the eyes of some desperate for change.
Who, When, Why, What, Where and How?
I recall being on Broadway in Manhattan when the first plane crashed. My Associated Press office was located at 1995 Broadway, where I stayed with my Tocayo Bob Feldmnan to service AP's hundreds of clients until I later decided to visit Ground Zero. There, I ran into a former staff member, who asked if I was OK? My eyes turned watery, while I tried to assure myself that it was from dust and not rage that human beings could do this to US.

Long Island University's Brooklyn campus, in a contract fight with the faculty union, tells 400 professors not to come to work and cuts them off from health insurance.
Hundreds of LIU faculty union members were told that their services were no longer required and that their positions, their health insurance, and their campus email accounts were being cut off. Classes for the semester started Wednesday.
For many Americans, going online is an important way to connect with friends and family, shop, get news and search for information. Yet today, 13% of U.S. adults do not use the internet, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of survey data.

Millions around the world have paid their final respects to the late Mexican superstar Alberto Aguilera Valadez, who was better known by his stage name Juan Gabriel.
On Sunday, September 11, 2016, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC will have a Mass commemorating the life of legendary Mexican singer and producer Alberto Aguilera Valadez, also known by his stage name Juan Gabriel beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Mass celebration will be open to the public and the celebrant of the Mass will be Monsignor Robert Ritchie, the rector of the Cathedral.
Juan Gabriel who passed away on August 28, 2016, at the age of 66 will be remembered for his dedications and contributions to the Hispanic community. Born in Paracuaro, Michoacan, Mexico and as the youngest of ten children, Gabriel found solace in music and composed his first single when he was only 13 years old. For over thirty-six years, Grammy-nominated Gabriel is credited to have written and produced hundreds of Hispanic songs in addition to translating the songs into French, German, Italian and Japanese. Gabriel leaves four children.
Throughout his career, many of Gabriel’s performances were benefit concerts to support Mexican orphans and he founded a house for orphaned and underserved children in the City of Juarez, Chihuahua.
It could have been called the commanding chef, as lies were being prepared live before our eyes. Some may now be saying there are way too many Indians and not enough Commander in Chief candidates in this election cycle.
Hillary Clinton spent most of the time on questions about her emails. Donald Trump struggled to explain his secret plan to defeat the Islamic State and does not appear to have the plan to address cyber security or ISIS.
