Closing Bell: Fair Weather Flea

flea-090509.jpg
After last Saturday's washout, we're digging the weather report for both days this weekend. In addition to the sunshine, come early and be the first to find this straw hat, this week's scavenger item. Over on the Flea Blog, you can also find a list of some of the new vendors making their debuts this weekend. Any bets on whether Doogie Howser will make an encore appearance underneath the bridge on Sunday? Enjoy! The Brooklyn Flea is held on Saturdays from 10 to 5 at the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene (176 Lafayette Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues; take the C train to Clinton-Washington or the G train to Clinton Avenue) and on Sundays from 11-6 in Dumbo underneath the Brooklyn Bridge at the corner of Water and New Dock Street.

As a USSR expatriate, to whoever's hocking that Che Guevara merchandise: FUCK YOU!

Not hocking, but please allow me... "No, fuck YOU!"

Heck of a job;

Thanks for a moment of moral clarity on this site.

By the way, in case you didn't get the memo, you should under the Brownstoner world:

Bad:

-Almost all developers;
-those tacky types who build McMansions. Aren't they really all Tony Soprano??
-Big Box stores that sell everyday household items at a reasonable cost.

Good:

Flea markets that sell over-priced tchotches (sp?), including "cute" bags with pcitures of mass-murderers on them.

Benson, Benson, Benson -- after Mr. B. again, tsk, tsk. I hear the anger toward Mr. B. yet don't quite understand it unless it is something personal that strikes a chord where there has been some personal hurt before.

For one thing, Mr. B., despite opposition and vitriol, allows dissenters to post on his blog, gives people a chance to use his Forum for valuable advice, etc.. Benson, I think I'd like you, and we also might have some things in common. Yet I don't understand the anger at Mr. B. (as I interpret it).

So Mr. B. grew up on the upper east side, so he has an education in something. So what? I didn't grow up on the UES, but everyone has to be born someplace and into certain circumstances (perhaps that is a 'God thing', if one believes in Providence, and many do not).

As I see it, we profit from the hospitality, contacts, resources, and daily hard work of Mr. B.

Benson, I will tell you that I also had immigrant parents and grandparents who worked hard. That doesn't make me hate Mr. B., nor would my family dislike Mr. B.. They are intelligent, artistic people (as are you) and they wouldn't like all developers, nor all types of architecture, either.

I had meant to address you before, after the Green Church thing. Maybe I'll write to you again. My sincere best wishes to you. It sounds as if you are doing well and you are most professional.

And admittedly Che Guevara (on flea market bags) is controversial. I must say I do not know the depth of that story although it has been on PBS. I think it was before my time. People don't really understand the negativity of that subject as Che may have been rather touted in the 1960's. Well, this part is over my head now. Good luck in everything.

the che wearers are the same geniuses wearing jihadi scarves and mao hats.

che = mass murderer ??? says who?
sure he may be controversial, but I don't recall a pol pot- or rwanda-like genocide in his biography.
sounds more like hyperbole from the resident right wing bolt.
do you have some facts to support that or was that a slip-up on the keyboard?
