Sunrise 6.27 am. Sunset 7.21 pm. Daylight Savings Time. We're getting 12 hours & 54 minutes of daylight or two hours and 12 minutes less of sunlight than we were getting the weekend of the Summer Solstice, on June 20, 2025. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of this year, providing 15 hours and 6 minutes of sunlight in NYC.

The photo above or at right, was taken at the Ferragosto Festival in Bronx Little Italy last year. The Italian celebration returns to Bronx Little Italy on Sunday. See below for details.

NYC Specific Weather - This can be very Different vs TV News Area Weather. About 1.3 inches of rain is in the forecast beginning sometime after 2 pm Saturday and ending by about 10 am Sunday. The temperature highs will be in the mid 80's on Friday and Saturday, falling to the low 70's on Sunday. The temperature lows will be in the high 70's for the remainder of Friday and Saturday, falling to the mid 60's on Sunday. The humidity reading takes some wild swings this weekend, starting Friday at near 100%, but falling to 60% by late afternoon, before climbing to near 90% by Saturday early morning. Humidity then falls back to 70% by early Saturday afternnoon, ending the day at 100%, and then gradually declining to about 70% by Sunday afternoon. Winds will range from 5 - 10 mph all weekend.

Friday Evening Edition @ 11.30 pm. This is a solid draft. We may possibly add a bit more info tomorrow, as we'll be working on projects related to this, on Saturday. Have a nice weekend.

Things to do This Weekend in NYC & Boros

Labor Day Weekend Report Follows Below, Scroll Down to see Each Boro's Headline Events & Things to Do: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island

Updated 8.29.25 v. August 28, 2025 / NYC Neighborhoods / NYC Things To Do Events / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz NYC.

Sunrise 6.18 am. Sunset 7.35 pm. Daylight Savings Time. We're getting 13 hours & 17 minutes of daylight or one hour and 49 minutes less of sunlight than we were getting the weekend of the Summer Solstice, on June 20, 2025. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of this year, providing 15 hours and 6 minutes of sunlight in NYC.

The photo at right was taken in Central Park on the Great Lawn in a prior year. As the weather looks to be welcoming, getting a bit of fresh air and rays from the waning sun isn't a bad way to spend a few hours on a three day weekend.

NYC Specific Weather - This can be very Different vs TV News Area Weather. The temperature highs will be in the high 70's, and the temperature lows in the low to mid 60's for all three days of the long weekend. There's a tiny, tiny chance of a tiny, tiny amount of rain Friday afternoon [aka 0% & 0 inches as far as we're concerned], and then dry the rest of the long weekend. The humidity will also be dry, ranging from 60% on Friday, to 50% on Saturday and Sunday, and then back up to 60% on Monday. Winds will range from 5 - 10 mph all weekend.

Friday Evening Edition @ 10.30 pm. Just need to update the Brooklyn West Indian Parade and Carnival events in Brooklyn, which go on all three days and which we should have done by midday Saturday. Looks like the last summer weekend is going to be a good one. Enjoy.

Allegations of More Eric Adams & Associates Corruption

Not the Least of which is What Seems Flagrant Neglect to Maintain Integrity of NYPD Operations

August 22, 2025 / NYC Neighborhoods / Crime in NYC / NYC Government & Politics / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz NYC.

NYC News & Weekend Briefs - Eric Adams Corruption Allegations Growing Again

The Scent of More Adams 'Related' Corruptions Continue to hit the Radar - And Network TV News Turns a Blind Eye

Separately, after three and a half years of 'getting stuff done' for billionaires and real estate developers, Adams has finally focused his attention on the working class voters of New York, handing out government money, in a manner that leads me to believe he thinks the public money is his own.

"Show Me The Money" Eric Adams famously used to say. We should have listened. Adams can't seem to shake all of the corruption allegations that surround him, the members of his administration and the Administration itself. Allegations of bribes, numerous staff indictments, including of Eric Adams who is the first sitting NYC Mayor to be indicted in office.

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams sent a letter to the Mayor this week, questioning his management of the oversight of the NYPD. Adams has employed Trump-style tactics in dismantling the checks and balances in the system that have kept American government relatively corruption-free in modern times. Editor's Note. NYC government is far from clean, as you can see by how all of the publicly owned / controlled real estate is transferred, 'legally', to billionaires [and or their real estate companies] who are friends of or have funded two of the last three mayors' campaigns. For further details see - Stephen Ross and Related Companies have been feeding at the public trough.

We'll have more about Adams and the NYPD later. But in the meantime - For details see - https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/letter-to-mayor-adams-re-urgent-concerns-regarding-oig-nypd-staffing-and-oversight-capacity/

In a lawsuit filed July 16, 2025, a former NYPD Commissioner, Thomas Donlon, accused Adams of operating the NYPD as if it was a "criminal enterprise". More to follow.

NYC News & Weekend Briefs / News Analysis & Opinion

Stagflation, Adams Tepid Endorsements but Strong Real Estate Funding & U.S. Taxpayers Funding Israeli Expansionism and Efforts to Deprive Palestinians of a Homeland

August 15, 2025 / NYC Business & Economy / NYC Politics & Government / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz NYC.

Stagflation May be Headed our Way

It Looks Like We May be Heading for a Stagflation Economy. According to 8.15.25 Yahoo Finance report, wholesale prices rose faster than expectations, up 0.9% in July, far faster than expectations. The core rate grew 3.7% vs an expected 3%. The Fed target rate is 2%. Services, not goods, were the driving force behind the inflation increase, and services are not tied to tariffs. We might be heading into a stagflation economy, where inflation continues or picks up, while jobs growth slows, as happened this month.

The contributors to a staglationary economy include that the U.S. dollar has lost 10% of its value since the beginning of the year. This means everything purchased outside of the U.S. will essentially cost 10% more to Americans. And tariffs will eventually add further to the inflation problem by increasing the cost of goods further.

TV News doesn't seem to understand that there's a lag time between when changes in the economy occur [like tariffs or currency valuation changes], and when the impact of them shows up at the cash register. Macroeconomic lag times range from three to eighteen months as these changes work their way through the economy. And speaking of TV News, it's worth mentioning that a stagflationary economy would be just the opposite of the 'Trump Economy' touted by Fox News during the Fall 2024 campaign cycle.

Eric Adams Support Seems Fueled by Narrow Self Interests

Is Eric Adams Recycling Faith Based Campaign Endorsements? About a week ago, Eric Adams announced that he was being endorsed by 100 faith based leaders. The endorsements appeared to come from some of the same people who've been supporting Adams all along, some of whom I've seen at various mayoral events, and some of whom I believe stood with him when he announced his re-election bid as an Independent in June of 2025.

Earlier this week Adams also picked up an endorsement from former NYS Democrat Governor Paterson, who is legally blind, and who switched his allegiance from Cuomo in the Democratic primary, to Adams running as an Independent.

A group of police unions also endorsed Adams this week, but notably missing was the largest NYC police union, the NYPBA. The NYPBA had previously endorsed Adams in the 2021 election, reportedly unenthusiastically. This may be why the NYPBA is holding back their endorsement again, or it could be that the NY Patrolmens Benevolent Association union is not happy that Adams has sullied the name of the NYPD, having been charged in a lawsuit with turning the NYPD into his own personal "racketeering enterprise".

In Nearly Four Years has Eric Adams done Anything to Rein in Landlord Harassment & Slumlord Millionaires? Have Privately Controlled TV News Networks Spread & Amplified another seemingly Trump Epstein Big Lie? Why Did Trump Have to Travel to Scotland to Find out that the Palestinians are Starving in Gaza?

August 1, 2025 / NYC Politics & Government / NYC Social Issues / Gotham Buzz NYC.

Eric Adams has Succeeded in Helping Billionaires Build Luxury Housing, but He has Failed to Stop Landlord Harassments of NYC Tenants & the Alleged Cheating of Black & Brown Homeowers out of Their Properties via Deed Theft - Documented in Film Slumlord Millionaire and in an OpEd by FEC NYCHA Tenants

News Analysis, Opinion & Insight. This story is not likely to show up on your TV screen in a timely fashion, because real news stories and real news insights rarely do. And too often, by the time they do, it's far too late to make a difference.

This is the trailer to a recent film that came out regarding landlord harassment in NYC, as well as about black and brown homeowner deed theft - neither of which Eric Adams appears to have done much about, during his nearly four years in office as NYC Mayor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuuBlQJh86M

If you find the trailer interesting enough, you can watch the full one hour and 22 minute long film on PBS until 8.26.25 - at which time it expires. Viewing the film now is free, but it is preceded by two short PBS promos before the film begins - https://www.pbs.org/video/slumlord-millionaire-3sgi7g/

Eric Adams claims to be a pro housing Mayor. It is true that he's been very supportive of housing projects by billionaires and international investors. But Adams has not advocated much - if at all [eg. the Rent Guidelines Board rent increases during his one term in office] - for tenants. And he's not been a champion of the black and brown people to whom he tells what now seems his phony personal housing insecurity story. You know, the one about him bringing his clothes to school as a child for fear of eviction. This story wouldn't be the first nor the only lie he has publicly told New Yorkers. And Adams appears to be helping multi-billionaire real estate developer Stephen Ross move FEC NYCHA tenants out of their homes, so that Ross can grab even more NYC land than he already has.

But don't take my word for it.

Mamdani Beats out Cuomo for Union Support, While Adams is Facing More Corruption Charges & Trump Tries to Put the Epstein Genie back in the Bottle

Eric Adams Facing More Corruption Charges vis-a-vis NYPD & Mamdani Beats out Cuomo for Union Support

News Analysis & Opinion.

Meanwhile former NYPD Captain, Mayor Eric Adams, was hit with yet another set of corruption charges in court, this time alleging that Adams had turned NYPD operations into a criminal enterprise. See graphic above or at right.

We'll provide details sometime later, but in the meantime, take a look for yourself at what kind of a 'law and order' Mayor Adams is - https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/16/nypd-donlon-lawsuit-adams-racketeering/

NYC mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, has secured the backing of a number of large NYC unions support, beating out former Governor Cuomo for unions that had previously supported him.

We'll provide details sometime later, but in the meantime here's a video Mamdani did, taking a pre-emptive shot mocking the adolescently edited NY Post, instead of the other way around https://www.facebook.com/reel/1066919915568285
