“These crooks are literally sticky-fingered. Th “These crooks are literally sticky-fingered. The slots of most of the U.S. Postal Service mail collection boxes on the sidewalks of Hicks Street and Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights are regularly coated with a sticky adhesive, a sure sign that thieves are using glue boards designed to trap vermin to “fish” mail out of the boxes.” Read the rest of Mary Frost’s latest “Thieves are fishing checks from mailboxes in Brooklyn Heights” article, which is linked in our bio.
“It’s early evening in mid-March, and a sharp “It’s early evening in mid-March, and a sharp breeze comes off the river as darkness sifts down on Greenpoint. The industrial atmosphere of this low-slung, working-class neighborhood in late winter is belied by 130 Franklin Ave., where the color and light emanating beyond the storefront’s classic black trim and glass facade beckons neighbors in to eat, drink and be happy in inclusive sophistication at Little Rascal.” Read the rest of Andrew Cotto’s latest “Little Rascal: An avant-garde neighborhood joint” article, which is linked in our bio.
“GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Servic “GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Service Commission issued a statement Thursday saying that Natural Grid’s gas vaporizers planned in Greenpoint are no longer necessary to meet peak demand. As a result, the commission denied the company’s petition seeking cost recovery for the project.” Read the rest of our “NY rejects National Grid’s fracked gas vaporizers in Greenpoint” article, which is linked in our bio.
“The despised scaffolding — aka “sidewalk sh “The despised scaffolding — aka “sidewalk shed” — blighting the landmarked Hotel Bossert at 98 Montague St. in Brooklyn Heights is finally coming down, thanks to Councilmember Lincoln Restler’s office in concert with the New York City Department of Buildings. The scaffolding has been up for two and a half years, blocking views of the stately columns, lovely arches and dozens of lions heads for which the elegant hotel is known.” Read the rest of Mary Frost’s latest “A new (and brighter) day may be dawning for Brooklyn’s Hotel Bossert” article, which is linked in our bio.
