Google brings free Wi-Fi to Chelsea

May we see your ID card? Very good and here's your password.

Google, who is locally HQ'd in Chelsea, is offering up some of that "goes down easy" read FREE high speed Wi-Fi to Chelsea dwellers. Jordan Newman, a Google spokesman, told Mashable that the new Wi-Fi network is Google's way of "giving back to the community that we've been in for the past six years or so."

Yes we know those first five were touch-and-go, the wolf is at the door, lean start up years on the westsiiiiide. We kid because we love and this here blog is supported by Google. But just where are the boundaries of this "sorry we don't deliver there" internet electronic dog fence?

The network runs between Gansevoort St. and 19 St. from 8th Ave to the West Side Highway and in area public spaces, including the Chelsea Triangle, 14th Street Park and Gansevoort Plaza.

The secured network will also be used by businesses, residents and students in the area, and it will cover the outdoor areas of the Fulton Houses, a housing project owned by the New York City Housing Authority.

Does this mean Google is getting ready to start bringing their Google Fiber (Sounds like a 50's horror monster -- "Look out maw, it's the dad-gummed Google Fiber!") broadband service to the free people of NYC? Well the answer friends is a click on that above link away. It may surprise you.

We don't normally care about the celebrity scene in NYC

Because well there are only about 30 other great blogs you can get this info from. However when you can discuss "Hurricane Lohan" and her neverending NYC exploits, well then we'll be happy to take the extra traffic for a "Lindsay Lohan arrested" post.

Yes everyone's non-favorite party gal was arrested in Chelsea early this morning and charged with third-degree assault after a fight at a nightclub. We're not sure which Bible verses that Lohan and the other woman were debating before it escalated into a fight but LiLo had been banned from this very club, Club Avenue at 10th Ave and 17th St., earlier this year. Apparently either the ban had been lifted or Lohan snuck into Club Avenue dressed as Liz Taylor complete with a horrid overacting persona.

This is Lindsay's (can we call you Lindsay?) third run in this calendar year with cops which of course means one more and she gets her own reality show on TLC.

Awwww some Chelsea residents don't like the crowds that visit the High Line

In fact someone who was so put off by tourists visiting and taking pictures of the High Line and surrounding areas they put up a ridiculous flyer claiming "West Chelsea is not Times Square. It is not a tourist attraction."

Um, dumbass, yes it is. Look, if suddenly the world's ugliest gum wrapper is stuck to a lightpole in SoHo and thousands of people for some reason feel the need to make a pilgrimage to see it, that gum wrapper is now a tourist attraction. Sorry, it is how tourist attractions work. You, local resident do not get to decide what is and isn't a tourist attraction.

Now of course the person or persons who wrote the screed left around the neighborhood as seen here have many other complaints about tourists and their cameras visiting the High Line. Among them:

*Please consider how you would feel if 3 million people a year from around the world trampled your street, your neighborhood. (Sorry, you CHOSE to live in Chelsea. We're real sorry the High Line is popular.)

*If you see an empty space, leave it empty. Otherwise there will be no spaces for New Yorkers (What huh?)

*3,000,000 (3 million) of you come to West Chelsea and walk the High Line a year. 40,000 (forty thousand) people live in Chelsea. That’s roughly a ratio of 100 tourists on the streets of Chelsea and walking the High Line to 1 resident trying to get to the store, ride her bike, take a stroll, go the gym or just have a quiet moment with his dog. (#1 thats some BAD math. We thought you had to be good at math to live in those tony areas. #2 again, you chose to live in Chelsea. People go there)

This city dwellers trying to impose suburban living rules in their neighborhoods are clowns. Polite tourists and clean tourists are the goal, we get that. But not once does this person say they are throwing trash or empty beer bottles or having sex in the streets. No, they are most upset that tourists take pictures of residential buildings and that they clog the sidewalks.

If that's your gripe? Boo hoo.

Juliet Supper Club, go for the celebrities, just leave when the shooting starts

Chelsea hotspot and celebrity hangout (on Monday nights anyway) has had it's second murder Tuesday morning in two months. Several NBA players (hey they had nothing better to do) and New Jersey Giants players were said to be at Juliet when the shooting started. A 43 year-old man was killed in the shooting while another was shot in the back, arm and rear-end. Another patron, a woman (who wasn't shy about tweeting her leg wound before trying to erase her Twitter feed -- that doesn't happen though) and five others were hit by gunfire.

The Juliet Supper Club has released a statement saying they may now close on Monday nights and just how seriously they take security in the club:

"Juliet Supper Club has always taken additional precautionary measures to ensure the safety of its patrons. Measures included male and female security guards responsible for searching patrons belongings, a mandatory coat check, and a strict dress code was implemented..."

Well your security guards sure missed one big gun it would seem Juliet.

If we told you an inebriated guy fell off a balcony in Chelsea last night and had a post impaled in his head, you'd think the worst

Johnny sure thought the worst in reading the headline in today's NY Daily News. Nicholas Blossom somehow fell off a third floor balcony, and when he landed it was on a fence posting of some kind, impaled in his head. Yes, that's pretty grim.

Firefighters had to cut the metal post driven into Blossom's melon and took the entire frightening scene to the hospital with him, still sticking out of his head.

Here's where the unbelievable part comes in, thankfully Blossom (and Nicholas if you'd like to contact us and give us a play by play and an update on your recovery, please email Johnny, we'd love to tell your story in this) is today listed in stable condition.

No way did Johnny expect to see the condition listed as stable when he read the headline in the Daily News himself. Good news, we think.

Police video shows some John Q. Lawmen trying to capture a coyote over in Chelsea

Wile E. Coyote did manage to finally evade capture at 12th Ave and 24th and FOX News reports he was last seen up around 50th St.

Check out the video (And there is some rough policeman type language) of the 'chase' here.
