Other than the on-going Gowanus Canal issues, usually you report on hyper local issues (a new store, a lost cat...) which can only be interesting to those of us who live in the neighborhood. <br /><br /> And then I tell them you broke the Manaforte story. <br /><br />Great work and congratulations.
