Any word on using Squibb Park as an entrance? I had heard that it was not going to happen, but it really would be the best thing to connect the Heights to the park.

I kinda like it. It doesn't look like any number of monstrosities they've been slapping up all over Brooklyn these past few years. Good job!

If you look at the house on Google Maps, the front with that massive wall is truly hideous. I kinda like the house itself, but that wall just looks ridiculous without a moat...

Diemond, it's just a matter of time before your apartment, nice as it is, is affected by this neglect. You should really tackle this issue right away.

That building alone could stop a clock, rendering the clock useless. That's seriously fugly to the nth degree. Somebody posted a pretty nice new residential building last week. Too bad there can't be more of 'em in Brooklyn.

Mr. B, The reason I don't get involved in Open Threads is that they quickly fill up with comments by the same 8 or 10 people, and I have a job. I check in once or twice a day and leave pretty quickly. Open Thread could be a really useful tool for sharing information, but I don't have time to wade through all the shit.
