In that incident, he and a group of others drove the stolen train a short distance and broke its windows. The teen now faces charges of reckless endangerment, criminal impersonation, and trespassing for both incidents.
On Sunday, a male driver rear-ended another vehicle on the BQE near Exit 29B on *Tillary Street*.

A Long Island man was arraigned and charged for filing a false deed claiming to be the rightful owner of a three-family home, valued at over $2 million, in *Fort Greene*, Brooklyn.

This week, we uncover the history and hidden facts woven through the storied streets of *Manhattan Beach*. 1. In the late 19th century, real estate developer Austin Corbin transformed Manhattan Beach into an upscale resort area, constructing the Manhattan Beach Hotel in 1877 and the Oriental Hotel in 1880. 2. To accommodate visitors, Corbin developed the New York and Manhattan Beach Railway, providing direct rail service from Manhattan to the resort, significantly enhancing accessibility. 3. During World War II, the U.S. Coast Guard operated a training station at Manhattan Beach, contributing to the war effort. 4. In the early 1950s, the area became home to the Manhattan Beach Air Force Station. In 1966, the site was purchased by the City of New York for $1 and transformed into Kingsborough Community College. 5. Opened in 1955, Manhattan Beach Park offers a variety of recreational facilities, including playgrounds, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, and handball courts. 6. Today, Manhattan Beach is primarily a residential neighborhood known for its quiet streets, waterfront properties, and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. 7. The neighborhood is home to Kingsborough Community College, which occupies the entire eastern tip of Manhattan Beach. The college’s halls and departments are spread out through the area.
