Time Square Manhole Explosion post by Suzannah B. Troy

Photo from this link and article click on this link but here is my unique take as an artist, activist, New Yorker blogger on a manhole explosion by Times Square a day after the Time Square Bomb Square.

Have you all forgotten the steam pipe explosion by Grand Central?

Mike Bloomberg put a reckless tsunami of development a head of infrastructure concerns and the safety of New York and this nightmares are way too frequent and again today we can say thank goodness no one was injured or died and it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Read the article and you all know my take on this....welcome to king Mike Bloomberg's hideous new New York where he pushed a way too rapid tsunami of community crushing development on old New York's infrastructure.   

We New Yorkers have grown used to the many man hole covers exploding, gas leaks, water main breaks like this one in the East Village where I called tv stations because it looked like the East River came to 2nd Avenue http://www.ny1.com/6-bronx-news-content/69978/east-village-water-main-break-leaves-thousands-without-water.

After since Mike Bloomberg and his reckless socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden pushed this reckless development for their developer friends street conditions are hellish to down right deadly from explosions to holes so big in the streets and sidewalks it is amazing New Yorkers and visitors do not resemble war causalities and it has nothing to do with terrorism but the reckless stupidity and greedy that drove Wall Street to implosion.

Giuseppi Logan YouTube miracle by Suzannah B. Troy

Miracles do happen and when I  filmed Giuseppi Logan on December 14, 2008 playing Begin the Beguine  I became part of that miracle.





I knew I had filmed something powerful. Giuseppi told me to look up his name on the internet. I found out people thought he was dead and that he was a very loved jazz composer and musician that made me two important records in the 1960's.


I also immediately found another YouTube of Giuseppi with a little boy in the very same park from 1966.


Two years later I would meet that little boy who is now my age and help reunite him with his father after all these years.


A jazz writer Tim Madison had contacted me and told me how deeply moving my YouTube was. He told me he watched it over and over. I said I do to. He urged me to continue filming but I said I was very tired and traumatized. I had just had to
sell my home of 2o years which is traumatic but it was even more so because I am an outspoken activist. I did not know if I could find the strength but I did.


Peter Gershon, publisher of Signal to Noise, wrote a powerful piece on Giuseppi Logan entitled "Out From the Shadow"
and Peter Gershon is one of the only people to fully acknowledge my work and contribution because usually people
just help themselves and erase me.


Pete's powerful piece and my YouTubes I believe helped Giuseppi and one way was generating enough interest that he
was able to get back in to the studio and make his first new record from the 1960's that has been received to very
positive reviews.

Matt Lavelle, a musician recognized Giuseppi Logan when he came in to a store where Matt was working and ever since he plays music with Giuseppi and gets him and the group he formed gigs.  This is huge for Giuseppi because it helps him earn money which he needs and of course it allows him to connect with people who still remember him and love his work.

I had suggested to Giuseppi's son Jaee, also a musical genius he should make a documentary and he took my advice.  He filmed the reunion and when we in the park with the camera rolling a guy came up and shook Giuseppi's hand.  He said your records got me through college.

Very moving in so many ways and Giuseppi Logan wants to get back in to the studio.  He has new compositions including a piece he named after me, "Suzannah".

Goldman Sachs Top Dogs go from grill to the fire! post by Suzannah B. Troy

After being grilled by senators Goldman Sachs is now being investigated by the Feds according to The New York Post and I posted this comment in response to their article.

By the way, the grilling of Goldman Sachs top dogs did not hurt GS's stock but in fact it went up!

Goldman Sachs top dogs go from being grilled to be thrown in to the fire. I wrote a short story which is now a free podcast in ITunes called "Chopping the Street, one mega million at a time" about a woman that takes over an international biker motorcycle club and turns it into a global financial service firm on wheels. I wrote it in 2003 and I even quote The New York Post than on how much white collar crime costs the tax payers. It takes some brain power to understand what I am saying in this simple short story about white collar crime being above the radar and costs the people a fortune whether it is detected or not, whether it is successfully prosecuted or not. I could not get the story published. Why do you think that is?

Anyone who may have seen or had contact with Mele in or around Scranton, PA is asked to contact New York State Police at 845 344-5300 or Pennsylvania State Police at 570 963-3156.


Someone had to see something, know something about this murder and also about Michael Melee and they need to come forward.


The police seem to believe she was killed else where although her body was found in PA near Scranton.


Laura Garza's remains sent to Albany for autopsy.  Very, very sad.  Heartbreaking.
