Been out of town...still felt I was in White Plains, reading what is new in CitizeNetReporter. Election Results, daily news, and especially with your detailed reporting of the new Cappelli design. Site is indeed timely, newsworthy and great. Thanks for keeping me informed. Fantastic job.

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. June 20, 2012:
Last Week, The Journal News reported today, National Mutual Fire Insurance Company filed a $1 Million lawsuit against the owner of the Bengal Tiger restaurant alleging the owner of negligence for storing "combustible materials" in the retail building where the former restaurant was housed, before half the block of 144 East Post Road burned to the ground July 7, 2010. More details when court papers are obtained.
Previously, the city of White Plains had purchased the property from the owner for $1.08 Million, issuing $1.4 Million in bonds to acquire the property. The city built a municipal parking lot on the space on an interim basis. The city said it had obtained the parcel in order that it could possibly be part of a future city project.
