Adam Yauch [Beastie Boys] park in Brooklyn Heights.

Does anyone know why they gave the Beastie Boy member this park as a tribute after passing?

NYPD blocking exit to bike lane on Jay Street.

Would not have been so bad, but the planters made it way more dangerous.

Former messenger but never gave up the roots.

Still part of my daily life hopefully to the end. I go back and forth between socal where I started and worked as a messenger [8 years] and nyc where I posted up for 26 years [2 years as a messenger] but always part of the group. Back in NYC for a week and missing the group. There are less out there. JOCO BIKES EVERYWHERE.

Manhattan is over as the place where fixed gear riders were a big part of the messenger population.

Moved in 2023 and there were some ebikes used by messengers.

Coming in for the week with my T3. Riding my old loops and couldn't find any of my old crew. Union Square is still the post up spot and it was 95 degrees, but the old crowd is not there anymore.

Everyone is riding those orange JOCO ebikes.

Times have changed.

Did anyone notice the streets in OB have been smoothed out? All cracks and ridges have been filled or ground down.

You notice it more on a bike probably. The black sections in the video are what used to be ridges and craters. The streets are totally smooth now.

Double murderer Betty Broderick dies in prison aged 78. Convicted in San Diego in 1991 for murder of ex-husband and new wife.

I was a bike messenger in 1989 when it happened. I was mostly working for lawyers and law firms back then, moving documents back and forth. I had a trial exhibit vendor give me a bill for Brodericks office the day after it happened "to be sure he got paid" out of the estate. Walking into the office to drop the bill off was surreal.

California: Moved back home after 30 years away. I had active warrants before moving that I never took care of.

Location: California

I have been home for 3 years now. I vote, bank, own a home, pay taxes and live normally. I actually looked into getting them cleared up when I moved back. I had some attorneys check for me and they came up with nothing. They all said there was no reason to open things back up if no hits were coming up on their database searches.

I dont live the same way anymore, but it still nags at me. I can see my city has bigger things to deal with than tracking down a 30 year scofflaw case, but you never know.

Is poking the bear stupid, or should I just continue living as I have been? Im fine living as I have been, im a mostly law abiding citizen now with no police contact in decades.
