* The New York Times visits the memorial, left, to the seven people killed in March's crane collapse in Turtle Bay. A homeless man is lovingly taking care of it, though he is quick to point out that it was begun by a mysterious, middle-aged man. By the way, foreclosure looms for the tower's builder. [The City]
* And here's a goodie from last week's section, in case you missed it: An ode to the Cheyenne Diner. [The City]
* It drew the attention of "The MacNeil/Lehrer Report" and the anger of Con Ed: The East Village building that tried to go off the grid with the help of a rooftop windmill back in the 1970s. Well, the experiment didn't quite work, but they sure were on to something. [The City]
* Now here's an interesting idea: Subway cars devoid of seats during the rush hour. [Gothamist]
* Stay out of the water! Not content to be outdone by the Montauk Monster, jellyfish are making a play to be the beach terror of the summer.
* While on the topic of aquatic creatures, if you simply must have a slice of Fudgie the Whale, Queens is your best bet. It has the most Carvels of any borough. [Queens Crap]
* Yes, people are still waiting in line for iPhones. And Apple is said to be predicting shortages of both iPods and its MacBook laptop line.
* Harlem now has a "rare" HSBC branch. [Uptown Flavor]
* Seth Rogen not funny? [EV Grieve]
* And EV Grieve undertakes a thorough documentation of all that's left of the old Bowery. We've done similar neighborhood canvassings .. it's a race again time everywhere.
