A lot happened in the past week!
Big events, read all the comments about:
The Nor’easter that we got pummeled by.
Flooding picture gallery plus videos here and here (some fire videos mixed in).
Then the 4-alarm fire photos here and here.
In addition are some of the other randomly selected comments, plus I’ll try to post some weekly stats too.

A general Water Cooler comment….
411 does a phenomenal job in this town, don’t we ALL agree??
I can only speak for myself, but I believe 411 covers an extraordinary array of stuff here. And offers us all, a great venue to vent, be smart, stupid, and everything else.
I’m not him/her, but I might be COMPLETELY burned-out, after a year of covering this completely crazy town….
Again, HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, 411!!
So, I’m proposing that we make a way to more smartly (key word) contribute to 411…
(& hope this is okay, 411)
Throw out “assignments” and people here respond, start to help you out (responsibly), much more, w/this MAMMOTH, important effort you’ve launched….?
After all, we’re all reaping the benefits from all your hard work….
Can’t we start to reciprocate?
