Due to the Boston marathon bombing, Mayor Bloomberg increases the sercurity in New York City. Council member Letitia James tweeted saying, that many landmarks in Brooklyn like the Barclays stadium have increase it’s sercurity, however, Brooklynites should not be too concern with it. The American Red Cross also announced that the blood supply in Boston now is no longer urgently needed, however, we are still encourage to donate blood. A blood drive will be taken place in long island university from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Personally, I have been around Fort Greene for the last 4 years, because that’s where my school is located. We also held our graduation at Barclays stadium, and I will pass by LIU everyday, so I can strongly relate to this article.
