"I
get by with a little help from my friends." Above, the young lady was struggling with an
elusive hot dog, but with a little help, the dog
finally made it to the bun.
This is
just one scene caught during the community night
at Melrose Park Thursday evening. The
park was indeed a fun place to be with plenty of
food and opportunities to play with real police
cars, fire trucks and dump trucks.

evening at Melrose Park in today's TOP STORIES.

An artist's
rendering of a proposed 625-foot Ferris wheel, billed as the
world's largest, planned as part of a retail and hotel complex
along the Staten Island waterfront in New York. The attraction,
called the New York Wheel, will cost $230 million. Officials say
the observation wheel will be higher than the Singapore Flyer,
the London Eye and a "High Roller" wheel planned in Las Vegas.
Beyond the wheel is the Manhattan skyline. On the lower right is
the Richmond County Bank Ballpark, home of the Staten Island
Yankees.
Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein reacts as
he talks to reporters before the Cubs' baseball game against the Pittsburgh
Pirates. Even for a team with a record of futility unmatched in professional
baseball and, heck, all of professional sports, this season has been one of the
most dismal in Cubs history. About the only good thing that could be said about
a team poised to lose 100 games for the first time in 46 years -- one of which
came after the shortstop trotted off the field thinking there were three outs
instead of two -- is that it is doing so in front of fewer fans than any other year in
the last decade.
