Some Crime in the UES

My apartment on 76th between 1st and York avenues is tucked away from many of the advantages of city life. Some say it's too far. Apparently it isn't too far from a former prostitution ring.

Donnell Baines, 37, was charged yesterday with charges, including rape and trafficking, linked to a prostitution ring allegedly run out of his apartment on Second Avenue and 77th Street. We're neighbors! Or we were neighbors is more like it.

Also, a 19-year-old was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for attempting to blow-up a Starbucks on the Upper East Side. Kyle Shaw pled guilty Tuesday to arson and criminal possession of a weapon. The blast, which happened May of 2009, injured no one. Best of all, Shaw said he blew it up because he was inspired by the movie Fight Club. Is destroying an UES Starbucks really the same as wiping out the country's credit records?
