Before Hollywood Took Over, This New Jersey Town Was Making Movies And Inventing The Cliffhanger

Some film historians trace the term ‘cliffhanger’ to the dramatic silent-film serials shot along New Jersey’s Palisades. Silent-film star Pearl White helped make those rocky cliffs famous through her daring screen adventures in the 1910s. That’s the detail I can’t get over. Audiences left theaters wondering if...

Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

In 2012, Superstorm Sandy heavily inundated Lower Manhattan; 14 years later, this 10-foot elevated lawn at Wagner Park hides a multi-billion-dollar flood barrier

There’s more to a new structure in Lower Manhattan than meets the eye. If you take a stroll through the newly reopened Wagner Park and The Battery , you will likely notice a beautiful new stone wall. However, this structure is designed as a critical line of defense against future flooding . It looks like a simple landscape feature, but it is actually part of a massive effort to protect Lower Manhattan from storm surges and rising sea levels . A lawn with a secret purpose According to PIX 11 , neighborhood residents are thrilled to have the space back after years of construction. People are already using the waterfront to watch the sunrise and relax on the grass. But that pristine lawn serves a dual purpose. It actively functions as a stormwater collection basin . When severe weather threatens the area, the wall itself becomes a flood barrier. There are mechanical gates built into the sidewalks that can be raised and locked into place to block incoming water. “It feels like it’s part of the park,” said Raju Mann, president and CEO of the Battery Park City Authority . “If there’s a heavy storm event that pushes water in,

Bill signed to shield NYC housing units from 'predatory' investors

(The Center Square) — Nonprofits and community groups in New York City will be given first crack at buying distressed multifamily buildings before they hit the private market, under a bill signed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday. The legislation, called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, will give qualified entities — such as community land trusts and local development groups — the early option to bid on certain kinds of multifamily properties before they are put on the open market. Backers of the plan say it will prevent predatory investment groups from buying up properties and overcharging for rent. Under the new law, which goes into effect next November, bidders will have 20 days to express interest to the owner and the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and another 70 days to make a competitive offer. If that time period expires without a viable offer, the property will go on the market, according to the Mamdani administration. "This law will give New Yorkers a tool to keep their homes out of the hands of predatory investors seeking to make a quick and easy buck,” Mamdani, who campaigned on giving nonprofits the authorization to buy dilapidated buildings, told

4 unwritten NYC social etiquette rules to not seem like an oblivious transplant

New York is being fundamentally changed by Generation Z’s migration from random suburbs that no one has ever heard of, what West Coasters vaguely refer to as “The Bay” or even worse — Los Angeles. Though I am a transplant as well as a tried-and-true Philadelphia native, city etiquette is not a foreign concept to me. For those who don’t know about the Northeast’s tendencies, take it from me that your old lifestyle won’t work here. The way you navigate the city, take public transport or even the way you express affection toward your significant other are all rooted in how you functioned back home. But you aren’t home anymore, so, as my mom would always say to me as a child, “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”
