Confederate flags hung in East Village windows anger residents

EAST VILLAGE, Manhattan — With Confederate flags adorning apartment window 's in Manhattan’s East Village, it's clear that the Confederacy’s role in modern day America -is not just a Dixie dilemma for Southerners. “We don’t like it," said neighbor Jamie May. "After Charlottesville, it’s quite horrifying." Those flags join endangered Confederate plaques and busts spread across the North. They all have a new, controversial endorsement from our nation’s President. “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You can’t change history , but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who’s next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish," Trump tweeted. Former Trump Virginia campaign chairman Corey Stewart worries about a slippery slope. “The left isn’t doing this just to redecorate some parks across the country," Stewart said. "They’re going after the consti...

Heavy rains lead to water rescues, historic flooding in Kansas C - 3TV

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) - Overnight rains have led to historic flooding in portions of the Kansas City metro area .  Johnson County Emergency says businesses at 103rd and State Line were in danger in “becoming inundated” by Indian Creek. A flood warning was issued for Indian Creek. The Kansas City Police Department and Kansas City Fire Department will be going door-to-door around the area of Indian Creek from 103rd and State Line Road to Wornall Road, along with the area of 99th and Holmes.  Residents will be asked to voluntarily evacuate.  Indian Creek, in that area, is expected to crest at 28.6 feet, which is higher than July 27. It has already reached a record high of 18.3 feet.

Homeless group close to suit over bike path plan in Uptown

Image
The more than three dozen people who live in tents under the Lake Shore Drive bridges at Wilson and Lawrence avenues know better than anyone that the structures need repair. Concrete from the Depression-era bridges is crumbling onto the sidewalks and streets below, posing a deadly hazard to tent-dwellers, as well as motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. So it may seem strange that a homeless advocacy group might sue the city to stop bridge repairs before they start in mid-September. But attorneys for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless want to stop the city's plans to put bike paths on the wide sidewalks under the bridges, which the coalition said would permanently drive the homeless out. "If they put the bike paths in, we ain't going to have room for our tents," said Thomas Gordon, 58, who lives under the Lawrence bridge. The sidewalks can currently accommodate both tents and pedestrians — bike paths would cut the space. The dilemma highlights two local tren...
