The City Room blog is going dark, but the features that appeared on it, like New York Today and Metropolitan Diary, are continuing as ever.

Eight years, 20,000 posts and perhaps 100 million clicks later, City Room sails off into the sunset.

Metropolitan Diary: An old hand at the delicatessen's waiting line caught a newly arrived customer trying to use someone's discarded ticket.

Metropolitan Diary: The day he sold his final car and gave up his keys, a 93-year-old was flooded with memories, starting with Pop's lessons behind the wheel.

Metropolitan Diary: Dinner, a cruise and ground transportation, courtesy of the subway system, Chinatown and the Staten Island Ferry, could add up to very little 50 years ago.

Metropolitan Diary: A remembrance of a somber commute downtown nine days after the 9/11 attacks, when a firefighter boarded the subway in full dress uniform.

Metropolitan Diary: Canoeing around Manhattan at night, a man discovered eyes on the water from every available viewing spot, no matter how decrepit the pier or how late the hour.

Metropolitan Diary: A sleepy-looking commuter on the G train seemed strangely unconcerned about a folded $100 bill lying in front of him.

In a packed Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday, Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, a veteran of World War II and 36 years as chief executive of insurance giant AIG, faced one final mission: rescuing his reputation. Greenberg, 91, took the witness stand to personally turn aside allegations from the state that he engineered two sham insurance transactions between...

Private equity firms are not swallowing the remedy for a giant drug-chain merger being served up by the Obama administration, The Post has learned. Firms are passing on the chance to purchase 650 Walgreens stores that are being peddled by the Deerfield, Ill., company — a recently started sale process prompted by a Federal Trade Commission...

Hondo survived Tuesday night with the Royals, who prevailed against the extra-tough Twinkies to increase the profits to 3,601 covingtons. Wednesday night: Mr. Aitch is banking on the Braves to chase Morgan — 20 units on Foltynewicz to chill the Phils. Hillary Clinton didn’t win any points for politeness after Monday night’s debate. The least...

Amid tensions with charter school groups, Chancellor Carmen Fariña attended the naming ceremony of a new Brooklyn charter Tuesday — on the eve of a planned rally for the independent schools in Prospect Park. Fariña spoke briefly at a new downtown campus of the Brooklyn Laboratory Charter network that was awarded a $10 million grant...

A tech startup is looking to tackle a $10 billion problem for trucking companies: fuel theft. Chicago-based Fueloyal has developed a “smart fuel cap” for 18-wheeler rigs called the iCap 1000.

There seems to be a disconnect between philosophy and roster, leaving a glaring question about what Rangers coach Alain Vigneault wants and what he has on defense. Vigneault made his point pretty clear before his team’s preseason-opening 5-2 win over the Islanders on Tuesday night at the Garden. Asked if he wanted more physicality from...

Back when I was a pup in the newspaper business, legendary reporter Peter Kihss gave me lifetime advice about covering politicians. Remember, he said, there are no such things as stupid questions, only stupid answers. Which brings us to Lester Holt and the accusations that the moderator tipped Monday’s debate in favor of Hillary Clinton....

Facebook’s admission late last week that it had overstated by up to 80 percent the amount of time consumers spent viewing its video over the past two years is triggering renewed pressure to have more third-party verification.
