TSA PreCheck: For Quicker Boarding...Maybe


TSA now promises frequent flyers and other savvy travelers special encoded boarding passes. When you qualify and flash it at security stations, and if there are no glitches, you may go thru more quickly in a special line.

Additionally, as TSA promises, you keep your shoes on, as well as belt, watch and other metal items, including electronics. However, the quick-board system still has restrictions, and it may not be in effect when you hit the line, and still isn’t offered in every airport.

Frank Sinatra Sings At The Brooklyn Bridge PDF Print E-mail


Anyone remember the 1947 movie, It Happened In Brooklyn? Sinatra portrayed a soldier returning home after World War 2. His co-star was the venerable Jimmy Durante. 

The Brooklyn Bridge is a 150-year-old New York City suspension structure in Manhattan that crosses over the East River into Brooklyn. Next time you visit the area, walk, drive, scoot and/or selfie across the span with smartphone camera clicking as you experience the beautiful views. Maybe along the way, you’ll sing the Sinatra song:

You’ll miss her most when you roam,
'Cause you'll think of her and think of home,
The good old Brooklyn Bridge.
