Aw, just kidding. However, AM New York who has been doing features on PH and Vandy for a long time now and has moved on to feature Crown Heights and all it's hipness. I was kinda pissed they mentioned David's Brisket House, as it's Idlewild's and my beloved lunch spot. We'll see what crowds descend because of this.
So I've been there about 5 times by now and I think I can say that High Dive is one of the better bars I've been to in the neighborhood. Unpretentious, nice/ talented bartenders, nice garden, and $2 High Lifes every day until 8. My only qualm is no TV to watch baseball.. they don't want it to become "that type" of bar.
Has anyone else been there? I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on it. It's certainly an upgrade from the dingy dump it replaced.
I just got off the phone with Sprint. Several of their cell towers are down (they don't know what the problem is). If you are in the following zip codes, you may have interruption of service (I got an "analog roam" message when I tried to make calls today):
WNYC wants nominations for who is the "mayor of your block". Nominate someone and they and/or you might get interviewed about your block for the radio.

Bacteria at Brooklyn dog runs linked to pet deaths
Parker died by playing in the places he loved.
The 6-year-old rat terrier dog is believed to have caught Leptospirosis, a fast-moving illness transmitted through water infected by rat or mice urine. Doctors suspect that the dog contracted the disease from one of North Brooklyn's dog runs, which have been awash in mud and stagnant puddles during June's heavy rains.
Within days, Parker went from scampering in his Williamsburg home, to suffering from kidney failure so severe that he had to be euthanized last Sunday.
I live on 2nd Street and 8th Avenue and am totally fed up with TWC. I have their triple play. The telephone and Internet access breaks down on almost a daily basis. The customer service is appalling. As far as I can tell, Verizon doesn't offer Internet access in my zipcode (11215). Any ideas about other providers/options? Thanks.

Get Farrah Feathers For A Good Cause
On Friday, July 10, The Beehive Salon in Williamsburg is doing an event called “Feathers for Farrah,” a full-day of $50 Farrah-style blowouts. Half of the proceeds will go to Sanctuary for Families, a New York state group that helps victims of domestic abuse, a cause close to Farrah’s heart.

....apparantly has a roof deck bar and a chef already formerly of the new Monkey Bar in Manhattan. This could either be very good, or a complete sh*tstorm. Anyone been there yet? Anyone know if it's even open?
The hotel is such a strange presence...absolutely beautiful looking, but in between auto repair shops and Staples.
At last Greenlight Bookstore is on its way to opening -- we're just waiting on permits to start construction at 686 Fulton Street! We'd like to hang a banner to let everyone know the bookstore is coming soon, and in the spirit of supporting local indie business, we'd like to find a local printer if possible. Anyone know of a print shop in the neighborhood that could do a hanging vinyl banner? (Even if not, it would be great to know somewhere to get smaller printing jobs done.) If we can't find somewhere local we'll have to go to Staples or whatever, but we'd like to support the neighborhood's businesses if possible.
I'm about to sign a lease on the apartment building at 480 St Mark's Ave, and just wanted to get some opinions on relative safety/safety reccomendations in the area. I currently live in Fort Greene and have a feeling I'm moving to an area a little less safe than I'm used to, but who knows. Please let me here opinions from both sides of the "safe," "not safe," debate I seem to find on a number of message boards about this address.

There was an assault on a woman last weekend, but I am not at liberty to discuss the details. In any case, as a reminder to all women--please, please, if you are drunk, do not leave a bar alone. You might feel safe in Park Slope, but you must act safely too. There is a great service for women and TG folks, keep their number in your pocket.

This place on PPSW (next to Uncle Louie G's and Bene pizza) is finally open.
I heard that the cheesesteaks are pretty good....and they deliver. Anybody been yet? Somebody gave me a copy of the menu....I'll give it a shot one of these days
does anybody know of a bar in park slope or prospect heights that stocks green chartreuse? i have been looking for someone who can make me a decent bijou for months and months, and nobody ever knows what the hell i'm talking about.
so, we're moving and having the cable switched over. as with the usual moving shakedowns, Time Warner insists we need a service guy to set it up... with the cost of $50-$60 dollars. it sucks, but whatever, i'm used to that.
but in the past, i remember them tacking on any service charge to the next bill. now, though, they're saying we're supposed to pay the service guy in cash when (if) he comes.
anyone else familiar with this? for TWC to be dealing in cash sounds odd and rather shady, and i'm wondering if this is some bullshit shakedown.
