New York City is changing the name of a street in Queens to honor the legacy of the childhood home of Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man. The address and images of the residence have been identified in The Amazing Spider-Man since 1989.
In a separate incident, three men were seen entering a manhole in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood shortly before 1 a.m. on Sunday. When police arrived, the men had already left. Fast Company reports that this is at least the eighth sewer-diving incident in New York City and Long Island since May.
According to Fast Company, officials from the city's Department of Environmental Protection and police believe these individuals are likely treasure hunters searching for scrap metal and lost valuables washed away during storms. While the activity is considered unsafe for the divers, officials stated it poses no threat to the public.
