This is such a lovely and sweet story.
Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

I happened to watch Zodiac last night and spent way too much time on the suspects Wiki. (Where I found out there is a 95-year old serial killer still alive in CA prison). But this would be beyond anyone’s cold case comprehension, no?
Amateur may have unmasked Black Dahlia and Zodiac killers - but there's a twist
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. The Zodiak and Black Dahlia killers' identities have remained a mystery for years, haunting California, but a new investigation claims one man could have been behind it all

Now one year into NYC congestion pricing:
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%

As we celebrate NYC congestion pricing never forget that Gov. Kathy Hochul indefinitely postponed it in June 2024 citing anti-congestion propaganda like "Broadway shows will suffer" (they haven't) & "pizza places will close en masse" (they didn't) & "New Jerseyians won't come to city diners" (lol)
Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in:
* 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily
* Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65%
* Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025
* $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements
* B’way attendance +12%
* Subway ridership +7%
So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

TIL that didn’t make the story was that the Armed Forces radio signal to start the evacuation of Saigon was a weather forecast of 105 and the playing of White Xmas on a loop. Hilarious bit, US Army.
