Do Not Do: Travel With CSI's Gerald McCullouch

A high-profile mugging on the New York City subway, on one of the lines leading from JFK, is splashed all over the news today as an example of the city's dangerous public transportation system. But we say the NY media is just being their usual sensationalist selves, fueled by a publicity-hungry actor. Here's why we're not worried about riding the subway.

First, some background. Gerald McCullouch, who plays Bobby Dawson on "CSI: Original Flavor," was taking the A train back towards the city from the airport at 2am Saturday when he was allegedly attacked by a knife-wielding passenger. As the train pulled into the Utica Avenue stop in Brooklyn, McCulloch had his laptop open, on which he was editing a YouTube video and charging his iPhone. Cuz that's what we all do on a train from the airport at 2am, right?

Suddenly, a man approached him and and tried to snatch the laptop. The two men got into a fistfight, because, as McCulloch said:

I didn’t want to give up my computer after working on my video all that time.

Also McCullouch just happened to be boxing about eight hours before this incident so he was all punch drunk anyways. McCullouch said he managed to fend off his attacker, who was holding a 10-inch blade, until other passengers alerted the conductor to stop the train. Police boarded and arrested the alleged assailant on the spot.

CSI: Los Angeles

First up today, "CSI: New York" is, strangely enough, filming at 1360 E 6th St. in downtown Los Angeles, which has seen a resurgence in the last few years. The latest evidence of this is L.A. Live, a new sports and entertainment district featuring a state of the art theater, hotel, residential housing, retail and office space. Just last week Britney Spears helped light the Christmas tree at the new complex and we all know nothing says "resurgence" like an appearance by Britney.

Meanwhile, in Boston, Spike TV's new series, "War of '04", is filming at The Boston Winery. The show is said to be an Irish knock off of "The Sopranos;" the winery on the other hand, is completely unique. Unlike other wineries where you can sit back and taste several varieties, here you have to make your own wine. And don't think you can leave with the fruits of your labor after one visit, it takes at least four visits and nearly a year to produce your first bottle.
