I agree, Greene Community Pharmacy is fabulous, always helpful. Better sign, too.

My favorite shop is, of course, my own.

lizjones.etsy.com

It's small at the moment as my job job has been consuming, but it always has repurposed materials in it, and I do live in Brooklyn.

I also like atelierBB.etsy.com (Brooklyn-based)

ouno.etsy.com (recycled)

manimina.etsy.com (Brooklyn)

budanART.etsy.com (neither, but a genius)

dkim.etsy.com (Brooklyn)

Go, Daniel, go.

While I only wish AY would go away, he has effectively taken on powerful forces to stop it. I admire him and all the other activists that haven't given in to greed, hubris, apathy or pessimism.

We already ration health care in this country, just not rationally. We have poor outcomes and high infant mortality in this country because many women lack consistent prenatal care. Infants die at higher rates in poor neighborhoods.

At the same time, a newborn can receive tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dollars worth of care in a NICU. So, the money is there somewhere.

"There is a great deal of animosity and resistance to these changes waiting for a place to be heard, waiting for a venue."

Yes, that's the real issue at hand, IMHO. The stated small concerns are merely proxies. All that resentment comes pouring out at the Flea because it's visible and tangible.

I live a few blocks away - I've got no problem with the Flea at all. It's fun - it brought biz to my stoop sale, I even bought a few things at the Flea too. Reading about the complaints makes me think I've been attending the wrong flea. Noise? Trash? Lots of people on the side walks? Come one - there's more trash, noise and people in front of our building any school day of the week than on any Flea Sunday. Like another poster stated, the area is spotless on Mondays. And no parking available to parishioners? Maybe I'm missing something again, but if you have to drive to Lafayette and Vanderbilt, you probably don't live nearby.
