Well, here we go again. Another Thanksgiving, another mad dash to see loved ones and not-so-loved ones across the state or country, and another year with a shortage of air traffic controllers. ABC-TV in NYC reports on this hearty perennial story, and interviews Sharon DeVivo, president of Vaughn College next to LaGuardia Airport in Queens, where aviation and science technology are taught, and where careers are launched. Dr. DeVivo shows us how the shortage in controllers, a legacy of the pandemic, ends up making lives miserable for travellers. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with her and her team. #aviation #travel #holidays #thanksgiving #nicholasandlence #communications #queens https://lnkd.in/euXp_f2C

It's beginning to look a lot like... In recent years (decades?) Christmas decorations have been arriving in New York City earlier and earlier. Whatever happened to Thanksgiving decorations? Seems like many who dress up their homes switch straight from pumpkins and ghouls to Christmas trees and snowmen. But when the time is right, well, there's nothing better than NYC dressed up for the holidays. And this year 125th Street in Harlem kicked-off the season in glittering style. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with he 124th Street BID. #christmas #harlem #holidays #lights https://lnkd.in/e-XvbYNu

What can we say? If you are a New Yorker of a certain generation -- actually, a New York from one of a few generations -- Charles Scarborough has visited your home, possibly thousands of times. This is a first-rate local broadcast journalist of the quality that seem rarer and rarer with each passing year. And now he's retiring from the anchor chair, after more than a half-century at WNBC. Nicholas & Lence Communications sends him our most heart-felt congratulations, and is more than a little surprised how emotional we feel about the whole thing. Watching his sign off on Thursday night, we think he is a little bit, too. #wnbc #broadcast #journalism #nyc

New tests for Alzheimer's Disease and biomarkers for the disease promise early help for sufferers. But when is too much testing, well, too much testing? And when is too early? Here, Dr. Keith Vossel of UCLA weighs-in with some trenchant thoughts in the Los Angeles Times, where he writes often on cognitive issues. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with Dr. Vossel and his team. #UCLA #alzheimers #losangeles #disease #dementia #clinician

Well, today's the day. Run, don't walk to the polls. And if it's all too much -- no matter which team you are on -- perhaps they'll be some solace in laughter. That's what Caroline Hirsch, the lengedary founder of Caroline's and the New York Comedy Festival (starts this week) has to say in today's Daily News. Have a read, have a laugh, give it some thought. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with Caroline and her team. #election #comedy #jonstewart #caroline #newyorkcomedyfestival

Have they no shame? Scammers are ripping-off tourists who want to visit the Statue of Liberty. They sell tickets to boats that pass Liberty Island but never disembark passengers there. They charge to enter Battery Park (it's free). They even charged one unhappy family $200 to take the Staten Island Ferry (it's free, too). Some estimate that 50 to 80 full-time scammers ripoff 2,000-3,000 people a day. Mike Burke, the COO of Statue City Cruises, has had it up to here with the scammers -- and with the Parks Department's failure to crack down on them, and even to ask for a special fee to chase them away. Some nerve. This has been going on for years. Let's clean it up, folks -- this is Lady Liberty. Rich Calder lays it all out for us in the New York Post. Prepare to be outraged. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with Mike and his team. #liberty #scam #scammers #batterypark #nyc #ferries

There was only one Jimmy Breslin, and there is only one Richard Esposito. Now, Esposito, who's held verious cool jobs at New York newspapers and television stations, gives the the legendary columnist the full biograhical treatment. On Sunday the News excerpted the pulse-pounding section devoted to Breslin's columns during the notorious Son of Sam killings (also known as the "44-caliber Killer") in the brutal hot summer of '76. "Espo" is a friend to the firm, and we wish him luck with this fine work. Beautiful! #breslin #dailynews #sonofsam #nyc #serialkiller #journalism #books #authors

Talk about jet lag! After nearly 16 hours in the air, hopefully not in coach, and 8,300 miles later, how do your legs feel? Maybe it'a all ok because you are part of history. American Airlines has made it's first nonstop from the USA to Australia. Follow along in USA Today... #aviation #austrailia

SBH Health System in The Bronx (formerly St. Barnabas Hospital), wants to treat patients long before they become patients, by improving the health of everyone in the neighborhood. And one way to achieve this goal is by eating healthy. Here, Roger Clark of NY1, our favorite up-before-dawn-everyday reporter in town, visits the hospital's expansive rooftop garden. The goodies grown there are for sale at the hospital's Wednesday market, and are used in its teaching kitchen. Nicholas & Lence Communications is proud to work with the great team at SBH. #bronx #garden #vegetables #health

We've loved watching all the affection and respect pouring out for the great actor James Earl Jones, who died earlier this week, whether those praising him knew him from the powerful roles of his early career, or his voice as Darth Vader. But here we'd like to praise another huge talent -- Robert McFadden, the legendary rewrite man from The New York Times who retired recently. His lede on Jones' obituary is such a magical thing of beauty and wonderment -- how did he do that? -- that it begs to be read and read again. It is a sentence for the ages. (And no, we didn't mispell "lead." That's how newspaper folks spell it, because in olden times the guys in composing room used lead type, and the same spelling could have led to all kinds of foul ups.) Anyway, hats off to McFadden, and farewell JEG. We will miss you both. #times #nyt #jamesearljones #newspaper #lede
