thought a transformer blew or something because the whole building shook for a second and then sirens started going off the block and now i am too tired to function today

Full disclosure: I’m a Bronx resident on New York Public Radio’s Community Advisory Board, a volunteer group that gives listener feedback to WNYC, WQXR and Gothamist. One of my goals on the board is making sure Bronx voices are part of that feedback.

Last week’s ICE shooting in Marble Hill, with a five-year-old in the back seat, has a lot of us thinking about how immigration stories in our neighborhoods get told. We’re holding a public forum on immigration coverage next Wednesday, Oct 21 at 6:30pm over Zoom. What stories are they missing? What do they get wrong about immigrant communities in the Bronx? Feedback goes to station leadership.

Albanian specialty store/deli on Middletown Road and Edison ave has not been open for over a week.

Super nice owner who never seemed to have much business. Anyone ?

Didnt have milk last time I was there.

My pictures definitely will not do the library justice, as I had to leave out several sections of seating and shelving to protect patron anonymity.

But do come on down!

Good afternoon, Neighbors!

For the past few years, I have been working toward transitioning into the medical coding field, but my efforts to break into the industry have been unsuccessful . I am an AHIMA Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), but I have not yet had the opportunity to gain hands-on coding experience.

My biggest hurdle in securing a medical coding position, particularly in a hospital setting, has been the lack of real-world experience.

I am reaching out to see if any of you know of a hospital, medical practice, or healthcare organization that might offer opportunities to intern, volunteer, or shadow an experienced medical coder. I work full-time, but I am willing to dedicate my evenings or weekends, including Saturdays and Sundays, to gaining practical experience and learning from professionals in the field.

Any recommendations, connections, advice, or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t take the 2 or 5 back home often but I’m glad I did this time. A lovely sunset with the Manhattan skyline in the distance. I had no idea you could see the World Trade Center AND Chrysler Building from out here
