Fire Island Lighthouse, New York at Lighthousefriends.com. The name Fire Island is of uncertain origin, and if you happen to climb the Fire Island Lighthouse on a warm summer day, your guide just might relate one of the following three plausible theories behind the name as you pause at the landings to catch your breath.
Each fall, the poison ivy, which accounts for 30% of the vegetation on the island, turns a brilliant red, making the island appear as if it were on fire. For many years, whalers used to build fires on the island’s beach to render whale blubber into oil. Scheming pirates lit fires on the beach to lure ships ashore so they could pillage the valuable cargo. While each of these possible explanations is grounded in fact, there is one more that seems to carry more weight. Many place names around New York are Anglicized versions of older Dutch names; for instance, Brooklyn was formerly Breuckelen. One early keeper named Felix Dominy became better known around Fire Island for his skills as an innkeeper than as a lightkeeper. References.

Thirty years ago, a murder occurred about every five days on average in the 46th Precinct in the west-central Bronx (Fordham, University Heights, Morris Heights and Mount Hope).
There were more detectives than on any other squad in the borough, but the precinct felt enough under siege to be nicknamed “Alamo.” Angel Franco, a freelance photographer who had grown up and lived not far away, made it a mission to accompany officers and detectives from the Four-Six every day he could, from 1979 to 1984. The next year, he joined The Times.
He spoke recently with James Estrin about this project. Their conversation has been condensed and edited. It should be said that the suspects Mr. Tell me about the 46th Precinct.

Parks in large cities are usually thought of as refuges, as islands of green amid seas of concrete and steel.
When you approach the High Line in the Chelsea neighborhood on the lower west side of Manhattan, what you see first is the kind of thing urban parks were created to get away from—a harsh, heavy, black steel structure supporting an elevated rail line that once brought freight cars right into factories and warehouses and that looks, at least from a distance, more like an abandoned relic than an urban oasis.
Until recently the High Line was, in fact, an urban relic, and a crumbling one at that. Many of its neighbors, as well as New York's mayor for much of the 1990s, Rudolph Giuliani, couldn't wait to tear it down. Never have public officials been so wrong. Almost a decade after the Giuliani administration tried to tear the High Line down, it has been turned into one of the most innovative and inviting public spaces in New York City and perhaps the entire country.
CORVINGTONS. When a long reach is needed. Once upon a time, New York City avenues were dominated by a long-armed, chocolate-colored cast-iron pole that my fellow lamppost maven Jeff Saltzman (whose site you can reach here) calls the “Corvingtons” although I doubt the Department Of Transportation ever gave them a real name.
While side streets mostly had Bishop Crook poles, or a short-armed version of the cast-iron pole (see Seventh avenue page), the long-arms were the real workhorses of the avenues. At left, an early version of the Corvington longarm ca. 1892. STOPLIGHT CLASSICS. NYC stoplight design has pretty much been stuck in neutral since the 1960s, when cylindrical posts holding three-light stoplights as well as WALK/DONT WALK signs first appeared on street corners, joining the more massive guy-wired lamps at major corners that first appeared in the 1950s.

Metropolitan Museum of Art: E82. The Brutal Attacks on Gay Men in the Ramble. From the July 24, 1978 issue of New York Magazine. Picture Central Park—without a sailor, Picture Mister Lord, minus Mister Taylor. —Cole Porter's "A Picture of Me Without You," 1935. The west side of that 30-acre section of Central Park known as the Ramble had a reputation as a homosexual meeting ground long before Cole teased his friends at private parties with this suggestive lyric. But though Central Park at night—any part of the park—is dangerous, the gay ghetto that is the Ramble is perhaps the section most fear-ridden.
Gangs of toughs—teenagers and the macho middle-aged, usually drunk, occasionally including a couple of off-duty cops—roam the Ramble at night, engaging in an old American pastime: fag bashing. You don't have to be gay. But these shadowy dangers are in sharp contrast to the serenity of the sun-flecked arboreal mecca the Ramble becomes for thousands of gay men throughout each day.
