I always assumed that the stoop was mine. Does this mean that I need to put a fence across my steps in order to drink on the stoop on a weekend afternoon. Where do "they" draw the line? Would a chain across the stoop suffice?

Biff -- no paper bag....no glass? Were you drinking directly from the bottle?

As for the random people on the stoop ---it is time to engage in baseball bat diplomacy. How "nice" have you been during your confrontations? Right now, the kids don't respond to the pleasant "please move", so they need a "get your [expletive] [expletive] off of my [expletive] stoop"?

Prop Joe

you are an @$$ (and I mean that as a compliment.) Politically incorrect but I damn near soaked my desk with the coffee that was in my mouth.

The Bully has the bison and the beer. What's the addy?

Seriously, though, I love the kitchen set up. What materials did you use?

"old hardware store on Throop and Decatur" --- are you refering to the the tool rental place? If so, it has been rented to a couple that plans to open up a coffee shop with internet access...etc. I thought it would have been opened by now. I am not sure about the hold up. It will be interesting to see the interaction between its patrons and the McD's patons next door. It will be an interesting experiment.

As for the houses... Keith Mack has lost his mind asking for $1.2. (Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of his) It ain't gonna happen. Puh-leeese. "The two one bedroom units will provide enough income to cover 60% of your mortgage. " -- what numbers is he using?

263 Stuy - nice house. Assuming a monthly nut of $5700 or so, I wonder what how much the studios would bring in. While I think the house is a tad overpriced, I think that the dollars make sense.

Of course I am rough around the edges ---is a bully supposed to be Noxzema and Bath and Body works friendly?

As for your question --it depends on the opportunity and the people. In this market...it would need to be something sweet.

I have been lurking for a while and have been around long enough to see you get owned a couple of times on the boards. So, taking your lunch money should be easier than taking a blow pop from the kids left in strollers in the Slope.

More often than not I have posted anonymously to educate people that continue to spew venom against the Stuy (like those who don't think you can find Soy milk and the WSJ at the bodegas in Bedford Stuyvesant). I have been around long enough to know that Al Vann needs to move out of the landmarked buidling on Throop and Decatur so something can really be done with it.

As for 404 ---what else is there to see, the people moved in, fixed up the front and back gardens and are happy.

With that said...I am getting my louisville slugger ready and will stalk Peaches

They won't repave Nostrand. With the craters and the light patterns, Nostrand might as well be known as the Cross-Brooklyn Expressway. The only thing that keeps people from touching 80 on Nostrand is the potholes.

When's the gathering at Peaches? The bully wants to roll through and I promise to let you leave with your lunch money.
