Residents in upper Manhattan, including Harlem, and the Bronx have reported discolored water over the past two weeks. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) says the discoloration is due to naturally occurring minerals in the Croton Reservoir System, one of the city’s upstate water sources.

The DEP says the water is safe to drink 🤨 but if you can, I would STRONGLY advise buying bottled water to drink instead, because if you recall, city officials also said the water was safe to drink in Flint. 🤨🤢

The DEP released a statement saying “Our testing indicates that NYC’s drinking water is safe to drink and that the discoloration has been caused by naturally occurring minerals in our upstate reservoir, which are higher than usual due to seasonal changes. The DEP has made operational changes in to alleviate the change in color. However, some discolored water may still remain inside internal plumbing within buildings.”

The water is said to have an “earthy taste,” whatever that means, and boiling water seems to bring it out even more. Some residents have reported that if you let the water run, it eventually begins clears up, but it takes some time.

The DEP is taking additional steps to flush the water system including opening hydrants to speed up clearing. They are also working directly with building owners and managers to flush internal plumbing systems, including hot water heaters and water towers according to .

If you have additional questions or concerns, Al Taylor says he can be contacted at [email protected].

Be safe Harlem!

This is my second time seeing this video on my timeline and I’m just confused about the narration on this video. 148th has ALWAYS been the last stop of the number 3 train.

I don’t use it that much, but it’s most definitely a WORKING station. It’s the LAST STOP so you get off, and wait for them to announce the next train going back downtown. Pretty much how most other last stops work in my experience. 🤷🏽

Apparently the 2 train to the Bronx was rerouted to the 148th street station with no advance warning or messaging from the conductor. He really should have made an announcement before reaching the 135th street station, so I can fully understand why these people are upset, but this IS a regular subway station and you CAN exit it.

It’s not environmental racism, 🙄 it’s the last stop on the 3 line. 🤷🏽 The more you know. 💫

Who would have ever thought that we would find ourselves fighting to save our democracy from those who apparently don’t like the way our constitution is set up?

Before Trump, I had no idea just how fragile our supposed democracy was. Unfortunately, it’s a lesson America is being forced to learn the hard way.

Growing up, fascism always seemed like a thing that was only in far off banana republics on the other side of the world. I never even thought to equate it to our own country because School House Rock had already sold me the dream since I was a child.

“🎶 No more kings. We’re gonna elect a president! No more kings. We’re gonna do things our way!🎶”…. That’s what the song said so I believed it. I’ve known America has a long lurid history of not living up to its promise, especially to Black and brown people, but I didn’t see it breaking its promise to white people too.

Nor could I have seen the cult of personality that the Republican party has become. Where facts and truth have no safe haven, and propaganda is spread on thicker than peanut butter.

America is turning into something I only recognize from the history books of 1940’s Germany. From the demonization of all those who don’t align politically to the dismantling of systems designed to provide checks and balances to power, all while they fuel the fire of hate and division with the tapestry of freedom. 😢

It’s a very sad time in America, and if you don’t feel that way because “your party” is getting what they think they want, just remember history, because someone is ALWAYS on the menu.

Today, it’s Mexican immigrants, tomorrow it may be all people of color, but eventually, it will be poor and then middle class whites too. I don’t say any of this in an attempt to scare you, it’s actually an attempt to wake people up because history has not been kind to those who remained asleep at the wheel.

I know we supposed to be on the sidelines eating popcorn, but unfortunately, like it or not, this is our fight too. No Kings Harlem! ✊🏽❤️

The Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold were one of the most electrifying dance duos in American history.

Born in Philly to a musical family, by their teens, they were performing at Harlem’s legendary Cotton Club. Though the Cotton Club was segregated, the Nicholas Brothers became one of the few Black acts invited to perform for white audiences, breaking racial barriers with pure, undeniable talent.

Their most famous performance, came in the 1943 film “Stormy Weather” set to Cab Calloway’s “Jumpin’ Jive”.

Fred Astaire himself called it the best dance number ever put on film, and it remains a timeless showcase of their artistry, athleticism, and the joy of dance.

On this Indigenous People’s Day, let’s take a moment to remember who’s land we stand on. Harlem, and all of New York City, sits on Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape people. This land was part of a vast and vibrant territory known as Lenapehoking, home to the Lenape (Len-NAH-pay) people, also known as the “Original People.”

On this Indigenous Peoples Day, we pause to honor the Lenape, recognize the history beneath our feet, and commit to remembering that Harlem resides on Indigenous land.
