THE LEDE: Good morning, and happy National Running Day! It’s time for you to meet the not one, not two, not three, but seven candidates in the running for the Brooklyn district attorney position. Then, Brooklyn and the internet react to Alamo Drafthouse’s decision to host a ladies-only screening of “Wonder Woman.” Have you ever noticed the statues of two dames at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge? There’s quite a history to them. Finally, a bit of real estate news for you: experts caution about the longterm unsustainability of rent concessions, Mayor de Blasio cracks down on illegal home conversions and Our Lady of Loreto finds itself in jeopardy once again. Plus, don’t miss the photo of the day, and a history of Reading Rainbow in Staff Picks. Keep running toward the weekend, Brooklyn!
