Operation “Rotten Apple”: Major Drug Ring Busted in the Bronx on day of Big Game
As ground crews were cleaning the fields of Yankee Stadium early this morning, 450 law officers were cleaning the streets of three drug gangs just ten blocks away.
..
The three gangs had operated openly in two Bronx housing projects, selling crack cocaine and heroin.
Officers seized glassine bags of heroin labeled “American Gangster,” “Scorpian,” and “Poison.” They made 40 arrests and searched 22 locations.
The main drug dealing operation shut down was dubbed “the Courtland Avenue Organization.” Two other gangs were also shut down, federal and local authorities said.
...
“Residents of the Bronx have a couple of reasons to be happy today,” said current NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly. “The Yankees are back home and a major drug gang operating just ten blocks from the stadium was put out of business.”
10 Blocks away, The Bronx honors the late Steve Howe.

For, what, 12 hours max?
not all of them. the customers will be inconvenienced.
Hen Caminitti was an everythinghead. If you could shoot it, snort it, smoke it, drink it, or ingest it, he seemed willing to give it a try.
Who's minding the bank?
I doubt it. If you have to go from Manhattan to the Bronx to get your drugs, you're not doing it right.
I'd say the price of drugs in the Bronx just rose, at least temporarily.
Is our children learning?
Tease their spelling if you will but their knowledge of the metric system is probably much better than any of ours.

Naw, I think the Phillies win game 6.
All around the world today, the kilo is the measure.
"He hit coke harder than Michael Irvin" - mine
"Coke has fizzled"
And the best, kalvoski's headline for the next morning: "Coke blows on the bump"
indeed.
Making the idea of becoming a drug dealer slightly more attractive. Yay, war on drugs.
but I'm above the rim, this is how I ball.

Is that how you represent over this here beat?
I think that Spinal Tap is the only other band that I've seen use that lineup
A valid question. And your answer:
The bass guitars had players. I cannot vouch for the types of players on these bass guitars.
You had me going there for a few minutes. I read about half the article thinking it was real. Only when I got to this line did I realize it was an Onion article:
Hoping to use the youths' metric zeal as "a springboard to further learning," the Department Of Education has launched "Da Math Skillz" program.
Not nearly as proud as Royce.
