Brooklynian

Hello, I'm Eustace Greaves, an insurance broker and income tax preparer located at 651 Bergen Street, near Vanderbilt Avenue.Some obviously deranged theif stole my office banner sign from the fence outside my office at 651 Bergen Street sometime between 5pm Saturday and 3:30pm Sunday. If anyone witnessed this degenerate in action, please call me at 718-783-2722, or call the 77th Precinct. And if you videoed or photographed this act of vandalism, well, even better.

A picture of the sign is attached to this post.

Thank you.

Did it keep anyone else awake? Anybody else feel like it's pretty inconsiderate? Anyone know if it violates noise ordinances and/or disturbing the peace laws? Don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I do want to be able to sleep after midnight without music blasting so I hear it clearly over my A/C and two fans.

Matt the Cat in Operation: Snuggle!

Hi, I’m Matt! I’m so happy to meet you!

I was abandoned on the streets of Bed Stuy, so sad and lonely I could cry. After weeks I was desperately hungry and my fur got matted so badly it hurt.

But I’m an optimist! I kept hoping one day someone would give me a second chance… I was extra friendly to everyone passing on the sidewalk and finally someone took me in! They fed me! And better yet, they snuggled and played with me!

Now I really need a permanent, stable, loving, accepting, forever-home.

I find having my neck scratched irresistible and my hobbies are snuggling, being curious, and playing. I’m affectionate, friendly, adventurous, fun-loving, super-smart, and, quite frankly, adorable! Just look at my whiskers and my fluffy tail! The humans had to shave some of my matted fur but that’s okay – I’m easygoing and I know it’ll grow back better than ever!

I just keep hoping I’ll find a loving family soon… Won’t you please consider adopting me? C’mon – email the humans, meet me, take me home, love me, and snuggle me!

Matt is small, less than a year old, neutered, fully vetted and vaccinated, negative for FIV and FeLV.
PM me or email [email protected] to meet Matt.

Adoption application, home visit, and modest fee required. Mods - please sticky?

As per mta.info, looks like the B61 has Bus Time enabled. Now you'll be able to tell how long you have to wait for the B61. I wish they would hurry up and enable it on all city buses.

Surely Bass Pro Shop is next.

America comes to Brooklyn?

We live in the parlor floor of an area brownstone built in 1899. Because of its age, it's nearly guaranteed to have lead paint in it. The paint is pealing in our bedroom. A home kit showed barely positive levels of lead.

And since we're planning on having a baby, it seems to me the most precautionary action to take would be to move, and move to some new condo-type place built from the ground up after 1978 (no lead).

But what's your advice/experience on this lead issue?

I used to give when I was dirt poor and younger. but when I grew older I realize most of these guys don't need the money.

So other day a young man come up to me and ask for a dollar, he said he was a dollar short to ride the subway home. He points towards the subway. he didn't hangout at the subway or the area. I thought he could be the real deal of some kid lost and need money.

So after I gave him some money, he went to the next guy etc... got more than a few bucks. At that point i'm like god damn it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So instead of walking towards the subway he went the other way and kept on saying he a dollar short to get home on the subway.

Me = sucker.

I was the first sucker he approached, if i wasn't I would of thought scam!!! cause if i saw how he gotten more than a few bucks by then.

It's not you, it's actually the stairs. How many other stairs are like this? It's funny.

Anyone know what happened?

Anyone knows what happened to Wink Beauty Bar on Vanderbilt @St Marks?

I received a very generous gift card a few months ago but could never get in touch with them to arrange an appointment.
There is a very vague message when you call them (they say they are closed for renovations and will be open in the summer) and nothing posted on the store the last time I checked.

I'm not in the area very often so maybe one of you knows more?

Thanks a lot

Hello All, My wife and I will most likely be closing on a condo in Crown Heights on 943 Saint Marks Avenue. We are moving from Harlem and my wife works pretty late at a restaurant in midtown. The subway stops on Kingston C or 3 will be her means home, both are 6 blocks from our address. Could you guys offer any wisdom on what line to ride or avoid at which time? Ladies, specifically, what do you do to keep safe? Thanks so much.

Phillstock Entertainment is a start up live events company and one thing we do at is produce live shows. We know that live shows around the city could be better. Bands could be paired together better and the shows could be promoted better. We are active NYC musicians and really want to make the live show experience better for musicians and fans.

Our next show will take place on July 14th at Freddy's Bar in Park Slope with doors at 7pm. We thought we'd take it down a notch for this show and produce a semi-acoustic evening of music. Here are the artists and some raw live footage of each:

Lost a black male wire-hair terrier mix with white chest and paws on Friday, June 22. Pix here: http://prospectheights.patch.com/announcements/lost-black-white-terrier-mix-needs-meds

He is neutered, has brown eyes, is medium sized (35 lbs). His name is Diego, but he doesn't answer to his name well. If you chase him, he'll run, but if you offer him treats or pet him, he'll come with you. He is also chipped.

HE NEEDS MEDS!

If you see him, PLEASE CALL 562.794.8178 or 646-453-9816.

Looks like they finally installed and turned on the traffic light at 15th Street and Bartel-Pritchard Square. Wonder how the traffic will be like now. I also wonder if they will add a bike lane to the circle that will feed to 15th street from Prospect Park. Photo of 15th Street and Bartel-Pritchard Square

does anyone know what this is? it seems to be coming from close to washington, between park and sterling, at least it certainly carries through the back yards in this area. it seems to start around 9 or 10 each night and go for a while, an hour or 2? i'm not close enough to hear in detail so can't be sure what it is but it's a low, droning mixed with occasional wailing -- like it could be religious chanting or someone practicing a part in a tribal musical. as noises around here go, it's not the worst, although i am tiring of it. did i mention it was loud?

I just inspected the voting machines at PS9. I didn't bother to count Yvette's victory over Sylvia Kinard, since it was more than 3 to 1. I think Turner won the majority of Republicans who cast votes- all SEVEN of them, compared to about 337 votes in the Democratic primary. That's a 48-1 ratio of Dems to GOPs.

And in the one corner of the district in the new 8th congressional district, Hakeem Jeffries got 37 votes versus 5 for Charles Barron and one write-in.
