North Las Vegas Police use leprechaun disguise to catch speeding, distracted drivers
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — As part of the Leprechaun in the Crosswalk initiative, a police officer dressed as a leprechaun handed out tickets instead of good luck to drivers who failed to follow traffic laws. On Tuesday morning, North Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Kenny Lee dressed up in a bright green leprechaun costume ahead of St. Patrick's Day. He and his team were looking for speeders and distracted drivers who ignored flashing yellow lights at pedestrian crosswalks. The Leprechaun in the Crosswalk initiative is part of the department's ongoing efforts to educate and enforce traffic safety laws, reminding drivers to pay attention to people walking on the street and to slow down. 'When people are crossing the roadway, they have to obey the traffic law, and they have to yield to pedestrians crossing,' Lt. Lee said. 'They also need to slow down their speed. Speed, it kills.' Lt. Lee said speed has played a major role in fatal crashes, especially along busy corridors like Craig Road and Ferrell Street. '[That] has been historically one of our busier intersections. On Craig Road, the speed limit is 45 mph, and typically, motorists drive 10 to 15, sometimes 20 mph over the speed limit,' Lt. Lee said. There have been 16 pedestrian fatalities in Clark County, including two in North Las Vegas, so far this year. Police made two DUI arrests in the morning before the 'Leprechaun in the Crosswalk' initiative. During the initiative, 74 stops were made, 72 citations were given, 17 warnings were given and 1 arrest. 'If you can't see a pedestrian crossing in a bright green uniform, you may want to open up your eyes and pay attention,' Lt. Lee said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Is Philadelphia the New Hot Spot for New Yorkers?
Moving to New York City is often aspirational, with many newcomers drawn to the arts scene, nightlife and career opportunities. But it's also expensive — which is why so many New Yorkers are looking to move out. But both groups have something in common, according to a StreetEasy report. To find out who might be moving in and out of New York City in 2025, researchers analyzed search data on Zillow (which owns StreetEasy), tracking the number of page views for sales listings in each metro area in 2024, as well as the metro areas the searches originated from. Philadelphia topped the list with the most residents looking for homes in the New York City area. The Washington, D.C., area was second, followed by Miami, Boston and Los Angeles. Philadelphia took the top spot from Miami in 2023, but the difference between the two was a 'close call,' said Kenny Lee, a senior economist at Zillow and StreetEasy. Much like New York City and Philadelphia, Miami and New York have a 'revolving door' relationship, he said. Little surprise, then, that Philadelphia was also the most searched destination for New Yorkers thinking of leaving, again unseating Miami from the 2023 results, according to the report. Atlanta, Boston and Tampa, Fla., followed. Why is Philadelphia so popular with New Yorkers? Affordability is a factor, along with lifestyle and the job market, Mr. Lee suggested. This January, New York City's median asking rent was $3,600, and the median asking price was $1.1 million, according to StreetEasy. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia the typical rent was $1,721 and the typical asking price was $216,914, according to Zillow data. (Mr. Lee said the data for median rent and Zillow's data on 'typical' rent is the most comparable.) Philadelphia's proximity can bring other perks for New Yorkers, like anyone more interested in a great cheesesteak than a great slice of pizza, or a halfway decent football team. To and From New York City A StreetEasy study of internet searches found the metro areas that New Yorkers were most interested in moving to, and the metro areas where the most residents were interested in moving to New York.
