TruthSI.com is a focal point for all things Staten Island. It is that place that you go to find — for example — top things to do on the island; popular places where locals eat, drink, or hang out; and even if you’re a native Staten Islander, things about the island that you didn’t know.
TruthSI.com — or SITruth.com they both get you here — is not intended as a competitor to the venerable Staten Island Advance (or SILive.com), which for over a century has done a tremendous job covering daily life on Staten Island. We don’t cover daily events here — no car crashes, accidents, or parades.
Think of TruthSI.com as cement. Instead of adding a new article on a topic, we’ll update an existing article so as not to create sprawl. Each article on a topic is The article on a topic. Kind of like Wikipedia but better because we have more pictures and each topic gets its own page (and we don’t have their political nefariousness).
So come on in. You want the Truth on Staten Island — we’ll give you the Truth! And feel free to comment on the articles that you read!
