A community board voted 4-2 Monday morning to reject the $11.2B Freedom Plaza proposal from developer Soloviev Group and its gaming partner, Mohegan. The binding rejection was the third in the past week for a Manhattan casino bid, following votes last week that took pitches from SL Green in Times Square and Silverstein Properties near Hell’s Kitchen off the table.

Freedom Plaza was proposed on Soloviev’s 6.3-acre undeveloped site to the south of the United Nations Plaza along the East River. The developer planned a 295K SF casino, more than 1,200 hotel rooms, an art gallery, a multistory food hall, a spa, a public park and more than 1,400 parking spaces on the site.

It also said it would build more than 1,000 apartments, initially promising that half would be permanently affordable but last week pledging to designate all the units as affordable housing.

“We are proud of our partnership with Mohegan and the vision that informed this project that would have revitalized Midtown East,” Soloviev Group CEO Michael Hershman said in a statement. “Manhattan is the undisputed capital of the world, and it deserved a fully integrated resort that would have attracted visitors while serving the needs of its community.”

The Soloviev Group bid was the last remaining proposal in Manhattan. The sole proposal from Brooklyn, from developer Thor Equities, also appears doomed. 

Three appointees to the community advisory committee to consider Thor’s bid on Coney Island have signaled they plan to reject the proposal at a vote scheduled for…

2 dead in crash involving e-bike on neighborhood street in N.J. town

Two people died Monday evening after they were struck by a car in a Cranford neighborhood, authorities said.

The pair, who were not identified, were hit on Burnside Avenue shortly before 5:30 p.m. and were rushed to local area hospitals, according to a statement from the Union County Prosecutor’s Office. They were later pronounced dead.

Multiple reports identified the victims as teenagers and photos from the scene show an ebike and a black Jeep with severe damage to the front of the vehicle.

The alleged driver of the car that hit them was found shortly after the crash and taken into custody by officers from the Cranford and Garwood police departments.

Following the crash, a New Jersey State Police medevac helicopter landed in nearby Unami Park, which is on the border of Cranford and Garwood.

In a letter to the Cranford Public Schools community on Monday, Superintendent Scott Rubin identified the victims as students, and said a crisis team would be available to support students at each of the district’s schools.

“Our Cranford community suffered a terrible tragedy this evening,” Rubin said. “While we respect the privacy of the families involved, we understand that this news will no doubt impact our school community. Please know that we are here to offer and provide comfort and support during this very difficult time.”

“Our thoughts are with all of you, and especially the families and closest friends of the students involved. Please look after one another throughout our Cranford community and share any strength you have with those who need it most,” he added.

No further information was released late Monday night as the crash remained under investigation

Dallas vs. Greater Nanticoke Area + How To Watch

vs

09/09/25 – Away 5-1 W
10/25/24 – Home 3-0 W
10/02/24 – Home 5-0 W
09/10/24 – Away 6-1 W
10/11/19 – Home 7-1 W
+ 3 more games

Dallas is a perfect 8-0 against Greater Nanticoke Area since September of 2018 and they’ll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Mountaineers will welcome the Trojans at 6:45 p.m. Dallas will be strutting in after a win while Greater Nanticoke Area will be coming in after a defeat.

Dallas will roll into the contest after a wild two-game stretch: they didn’t score any goals on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Crestwood on Saturday. The Mountaineers were the clear victors by a 4-1 margin over the Comets. Considering Dallas have won four matchups by more than two goals this season, Saturday’s blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, Greater Nanticoke Area was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They came up short against Wilkes-Barre, falling 9-0. While losing is never fun, Greater Nanticoke Area can’t take it too hard given the team’s big disadvantage in MaxPreps’ Pennsylvania soccer rankings (they are ranked 497th, while Wilkes-Barre are ranked 156th).

Dallas has been performing well recently as they’ve won four of their last five matches. That’s provided a nice bump to their 8-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those five contests. As for Greater Nanticoke Area, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-10-2.

Everything went Dallas’ way against Greater Nanticoke Area when the teams last played on September 9th, as Dallas made off with a 5-1 win. Do the Mountaineers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Trojans turn…

Gregorio C. Brillantes, maybe the last of the mohicans

Philippine English fiction writer Greg Brillantes died at the age of 92 on a Friday, the last weekend of September, as a severe tropical storm was heading straight to the central islands of the archipelago.

His second daughter, Cecilia, perhaps named after the patron saint of music, was surely coming home after many years based stateside.

“Chi,” as she was called, was one of my students in English I at UP Manila four decades ago. She was part of a memorable, rowdy block of occupational therapy majors. Her father, often mentioned in class, was the renowned author of Faith, Love, Time, and Dr. Lazaro. That story, a staple in college syllabi introducing students to literature, tells the tale of a country doctor who learns a vital lesson about faith from his own son.

It wasn’t until after the first EDSA revolution that I got to work closely with Greg B., as he had once written his name in my pocket directory (***9507). He was an editorial consultant for Midweek magazine for six years, and I was among the staff writers. Of course, I’d read more of his work, aside from the aforementioned piece. There was The Distance to Andromeda, which made you never look at the night sky the same way again. And The Cries of Children on an April Afternoon in the Year 1957, an ode to adolescence in the province of Tarlac, although written in prose.

Greg also edited The Manila Review, a martial law era literary journal that came out more or less quarterly, where I first read Erwin Castillo’s The Watch of La Diane, as well as a sheaf of poems by the teenage poet Diana Gamalinda, who drowned in Vigan in 1978. The Review was also where I saw mind-blowing illustrations by the likes of…

Who’s Looking To Buy Connecticut Sun Before the 2027 Season?

The Connecticut Sun struggled during the regular season. On the court they only won 11 games with 33 losses. This irregular season for the team was drowned out by not making the playoffs for the first time in nine years, and now they face a potential relocation, which could cause even more problems for the team down the road. 

The team is currently located in Uncasville, Connecticut, where they play at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The arena is owned by the Mohegan Tribe. A potential sale to a Boston-based investment group could shake up some previous promises made by the league. 

A prior agreement had the team secured to play at their home arena through the 2026 season, but now with a possible sale on the horizon, the team could be moved to Boston, or even somewhere else in Connecticut, causing a shakeup to an already shaky team in the offseason. 

The Boston-led group looking to buy into the Sun is a group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca. He’s made a record-breaking offer of $325 million to buy the team, with plans to move them by 2027 and build a new practice facility.

With all the uncertainty, the team has agreed to play the 2026 season at their current home area in Uncasville, but even if the Boston sale doesn’t go through, change could still be in the cards for the Sun. A Connecticut-led group is looking for some team real estate and a rival proposal from state leaders has revealed a potential option of moving the team to Hartford. 

This move may be considered the best if there has to be a sale, as Connecticut fans could keep their team in its home state. Any movement prior to the 2026…

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shawnee). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 42-14 win over the Lenape Indians. The Renegades have beaten the Indians the last five times they’ve met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Indians has come to flipping the script.

Shawnee now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Lenape, they are on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

Coming up, Shawnee will face off against Cherokee at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Lenape, they will take on Washington Township at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Minutemen’s defense has only allowed 5.5 points per game this season, so the Indians’ offense will have their work cut out for them.

UMass Libraries hosts panel to highlight Indigenous archival activism

Miron defines archival activism as the process of “collecting and mobilizing tribal archives, anchored around three key elements: access, sovereignty and new narratives.” These…
