Just want to make sure you're all okay over there.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well we've already heard from Mike.

New answers...

I just saw Ally on the Mads v. Janet thread on ILM, so I think she's okay.

― Nicole, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't think Ally ever leaves Manhatten so I'm sure she's fine.

Does anyone on ILE actually live in Queens?

― Nick, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Doesn't Ben Poremski live in Queens?

― Sarah, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rockaways ≠ Queens. It's Brooklyn, though very far from where I'm typing this. Bridges and tunnels closed, airports all closed. Hrm. It's difficult not to think of the obvious.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry, it IS Queens. But always think of it as Brooklyn because you get to Far Rockaway through Brooklyn, and can see the Rockaways from Coney Island.

A message from FAA that we've gotten used to: "NOT a terrorist act. But it can't be ruled out."

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shit, in that case PHIL OH check in as well!

Ally's okay; her man works in Queens, but far from Rockaway, so that's good.

Unless you're from New York City, and your family has been in the city for generations, chances are very slim you know anyone in that part of the Rockaways. Very Irish Catholic, detached houses, suburb- in-the-city. Lots of firefighters live there, sadly. Lovely place, if you haven't been there, with the prettiest seashore in the city. I've thought many times how much I'd love to live in Belle Harbor or further along the penninsula in Breezy Point.

It's far closer to Brooklyn (specifically Sheepshead Bay) than to the rest of Queens, but we're still talking some five or six miles to, say, Park Slope. That said, I can see the smoke, and trucks from my local firehouse headed down that way at 10am or so.

Odalay.

― JM, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

O-tay.

For what it's worth, Starry, Phil updated his tawdry blog late this afternoon, so he's fine. I reckon he wasn't up til 3:30 or so. Students!

― Benjamin, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hello. I'm nowhere near Rockaway.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh hello there

― Nude spock, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, I was wondering why I was getting so many hits to my blog.

― phil, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Phil you fcuking student...!

Still glad you're all okay. This however doesn't negate the fact I have Atomic Kitten stuck in my head and THEY WON'T GO AWAY.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 13 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hi starry hon, thanks for the concern, but I still have talking heads 'psycho killer' singing in my head. please fix that for me. and i'll no longer be a student as of december 12th, provided i don't fail any courses this semester.

― phil, Tuesday, 13 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh goody! Will you come and visit me then? I've got the Aislers Set stuck in my head now, why don't you try singing the Red Door?

― Sarah, Tuesday, 13 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)
