Reply to TIL that the NYC neighborhood of Marble Hill is part of Manhattan despite not being connected to Manhattan Island. Instead it is connected to the Bronx. It was separated from the island of Manhattan by the construction of the Harlem Ship Canal in 1895 by IAmDavidGurney
Roosevelt Island is also technically a part of Manhattan

Reply to TIL "A Christmas Story" was initially overlooked and only became a classic after Ted Turner purchased the rights and began airing it yearly on cable TV. by habalushy
Exaggeration. It was plenty popular on pay cable (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax) before it ever showed up on Turner channels.
