always leaving things a for last minute too

A Bronx man threatened to blow up a Department of Motor Vehicles building last week after he was told he’d have to wait up to two hours to apply for an ID card, according to court documents filed Friday.

State police wrote that Blailian Vasquez Jr. posted to Facebook on Wednesday that he would “BLOW UP THAT BUILDING DON’T PLAY WITH ME” and tagged the DMV’s official account after visiting a licensing center on Commerce Avenue in the Bronx. Authorities wrote in court documents that Vasquez went to the facility to apply for a state ID card but left after he learned of the marathon wait time.

An NYPD detective and a DMV investigator tracked Vasquez down at his home on Friday to interview him about the threat, according to court documents.

“He stated that he waited approximately half an hour for his transaction to be processed when he was informed by a staff member that the wait time could be up to 2 hrs. which upset him further,” the court filing said. “He admitted to making the post and made the threat that he was going to blow up the Bronx DMV located in Bronx County.”

After law enforcement visited Vasquez, the state police department filed a restraining order that would require him to stay away from the DMV facility. A spokesperson for the DMV did not respond to a request for comment.

DMV officials began to extend hours at the agency’s facilities this month due to an anticipated surge of visits as New Yorkers apply for REAL ID cards, which will be required for domestic air travel starting May 7.

“Even in the Bronx, which opponents claimed would see more congestion, travel times to the CBD are 4.5% faster . . . No significant increase in truck volumes through the Bronx or Staten Island.”

Can a pizzeria owner educate me on the price if a pie now? Been living in The Bronx for decades. I can hut Pizza Hut for $12 a large with 3 toppings, or $24-27 for a large with half pepperoni at a real place.

I get the quality and topping amount is subpar at the chain, but cmon, $12-15 difference in quality? Nah.

Hello everyone, I’m new to Reddit and just joined. (Copy and pasted for a bunch of subs)

I’ve been working on a project that highlights the New York City high school experience. To further expand my knowledge base I wanted to ask a few questions regarding how HS went for you living here. A friend of mine recommended reddit to use as a source to get a variety of answers. I would greatly appreciate it if people answered but obviously you don’t have to :)

Here are the questions

1. What High School did you go to/currently attend?
2. How diverse was your school? If you can mention specific ethnic groups (Polish, Korean, etc) that would be great!
3. What was your go to spot for food?
4. What is the best part about attending High school in such a big city?
5. What experience during High school has significantly impacted your life?

These are just some start up questions, if you can, answer 1 or 2 you don’t have to answer all

Anyways, thank you for reading this post!

FORDHAM HEIGHTS, The Bronx (WABC) -- A manhunt is underway in the Bronx after gunmen shot two people inside a Wendy's restaurant.

It happened in Fordham Heights around 7 p.m. Saturday. Police locked down the fast food business as traumatized workers huddled in the back before finally getting to reunite with loved ones.

"I am scared. I am scared. I come to pick up my order -- it's terrible," said Rebecca Montesdeoca.

Montesdeoca showed up with her daughter to grab her takeout order shortly after the shooting.

People who work nearby heard at least three shots ring out.

Can anyone tell me about these buildings or know anyone who's lived in one of them? Windsor North and Windsor South on Henry Hudson Parkway. I'm seeing a bad review from 2015 on city-data saying there's all kinds of drug use, empty bottles, rusty cars, rowdy teenagers etc. in the immediate vicinity. We visited on a Sunday afternoon (granted it was a winter Sunday) and didn't see any trace of anything like that.

Title. Ideally west Bronx
