I haven't been there for that long, but I saw a car accident in front of the hotel across the street. Nothing too serious.
the one thing I saw out the front window is a homeless guy coming every night to flip this newspaper stand upside down and start shaking the shit out of it to get change. Once you hear a big slam on the ground you know it's him. I think he was pretty strong to do that since the stand has like this big cement block under it to hold it down. Now the stand is locked tight onto the street sign and also the papers are free. He still comes by to attempt to get change for some cheeseburgers at burger king, as he once told me.
