25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Flatbush, Brooklyn

Few Brooklyn neighborhoods can tell their history through as many different kinds of famous people as Flatbush. Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond walked the halls of Erasmus Hall High School before either became a recording star. A future Supreme Court justice grew up in a Brooklyn household that prized education. An illustrator who would help invent modern television cartoons, an Oscar-winning actress, and a writer whose childhood experiences became material for his novels all have stories tied to the neighborhood. Even the list of names associated with Flatbush’s later hip-hop culture would fill an article of its own.

A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County. The answer, as several commenters quickly explained, is a set of blue laws that has survived in the county for decades. Bergen County’s blue laws still ban Sunday clothing sales Bergen

It’s been six weeks since NYC’s $4M toilets made their debut —what do New Yorkers think of them?

It’s been nearly two months since NYC debuted its 17 high-tech public restrooms to the tune of $235,000 a pop — or, perhaps, a poop. Equipped with no-touch amenities, calming plant-print wallpaper and soothing music, the free public toilets created by tech startup Throne Labs have a 10-minute time limit for gotta-go New Yorkers. And so far online, the results have been a royal flush. One tickled online creator in the Bronx was impressed with the setup, which included extra amenities for parents and those who need accessible fixtures. A Throne Toilet at NYC’s Cooper Square. Stephen Yang for NY Post “You got free pads,” he said. “You got a baby changing station. You got toilet paper. You got some tunes… This sh-t fire.” “Traveled New York to use this toilet in particular,” said another TikToker about Astoria’s so-called “ Mamdani Toilet ,” which even has a Google Maps rating from the mayor’s most zealous fans. The verdict? “I wouldn’t want to poop anywhere else!” Staten Island bucks Dems’ blue tsunami, rejects ‘one-party rule’ with re-election of Nicole Malliotakis With those rave reviews, The Post had to try the tech-y toilets for ourselves. The Throne public restroom includes a changing
