They Stand Corrected

Just happened to spot the following two corrections that appeared in Saturday's WSJ. Perhaps my own rejoinders to the corrections occurred to me because I had recently been in a doctor's waiting room and had picked up a copy of The New Yorker. Most of these corrections are usually fairly dry, but these two, appearing at the same time, seemed like hitting the Daily Double.

A dispatcher mistakenly sent firefighters to Grand Street in Jersey City on Thursday instead of to Grant Avenue where a fire killed four people. An article on Friday incorrectly said the blaze was on Grand Avenue and that firefighters were wrongly sent to Grant Street.

It's amazing anyone eventually showed up.


Apartment 4B at 32 W. 40th Street in Manhattan is listed for sale. In a Block Party column on the Garment District on the property page Friday, the apartment number was given as 3B.

And the people in 3B were not happy one bit about that.
(Can you imagine if Whitey Bulger was in apartment 3B? After the bell rang a second time he might have jumped out a window.)
