I took I giant step back from my computer this weekend (and I’m finding I’m enjoying being “off-the-grid” now and then). Here are some Riverdale-related news bits I missed while I was away.
A Riverdale woman sues Cablevision for $5 million for negligence, she says a subcontractor left loose wires in her Fieldstron Road home; she tripped over them and has never been the same.

NYPD detective and Riverdale resident with 22 years “on the job,” as they say, allegedly struck and killed a Kingsbridge woman while driving drunk: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bronx/partying_dwi_cop_kills_bx_grandma_ZCMcn5z7L3gL4AFKaFAEPO?offset=16
Not sure why the Riverdale dateline, but author and City of NY and Pace University, Harvey Rosenfeld (a Riverdalian? I’m guessing so) has published a new book, Depravity, examining the lives of 16 serial killers in the 20th Century.
