Hollywood Kitchen" was a term used in real estate ads years ago to denote a modern kitchen such as those seen on TV and in the movies. I haven't seen the term used for at least 25 years.

No, it's not the place. You should call 911 to report a shooting.

After watching his video on this site last year on this site about boiler tuneups, I'm going to go with the "Master Plumber" from Gateway.

If it's family, there is no limit whatsoever. However if people are sleeping in cellar space that's a violation. If there are 24 people in the house, that's a real close knit family.

It's a nationwide NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME. I assume almost every precinct in the city is having some event. Unless there are some precincts where it is too dangerous to go out at night.

If you still have fuses and they blow when a hair dryer is used you need to upgrade the wiring and intall circuit breakers. Making the blown fuses easier to change solves nothing and may tempt the tennents to rig the fuses.

I bought at Bergen for 1 bathroom and if you can find what you like their prices are quite reasonable.

I would think it's a rat, not a mole. As you must know, rats are a lot more common in Brooklyn than moles. You could try flooding the tunnel with a garden hose.

We also had one which we used until a kitchen renovation. The cups were badly broken so we threw them out. Try Ebay for the cups.

The posting is most likely hoax (troll).
And even if were true -- if he/she just moved into new apt. on upper east side and would they feel so compelled to tell world how disconcerting.

I think it's ridiculous to post this here but I do have a question.

Was this a case of domestic violence, robbery, a drive-by where an innocent child was shot, a kid playing with a loaded gun? The type of crime makes a big difference in assessing the safety of the neighborhood.

I don't think it's fair to accuse her of trolling. Amber is the person that needed to find a place she could move into with her dogs a few weeks ago.

Dave is on to something however, if you haven't already moved. This probably wasn't a random, stranger-on-stranger crime.

I went to college in south central LA back in the Boyz in the Hood days and was in my ground floor apt when a drive-by happened outside. It was shocking, but with all violent crime like that in the neighborhood it never seemed to involve the parallel community of somewhat wealthier, transient students that lived there.

Statistically you are still pretty safe. Assuming you aren't a Brownstoner-reading, gun-toting thug (which would seem statistically unlikely). That said, be careful.

corolla- some days it seems more statistically likely than others ;-]

For the love! Why would I be a troll using my real name, with my real, four-year old blog in my profile, if I was a troll? Furthermore, and more to the point, why would I make something up that you can verify is true? Do people actually do that to the extent that it would be "likely"?

I believe it was drug related, but I'm not sure; I'm going by what the neighbors said. There are a lot of drugs in the nabe, which sucks.

I just read about this shooting in todays Daily News ....or Post...cant remember (it was too early!). This shooting was in the police blogger. I thought it was on Quincy st though.

Posted by: nybk01 at August 22, 2008 12:37 PM in response to Shooting - Monroe & Nostratd, Bed-Stuy

Weird. The NY Sun DOES have it listed as Quincy. I'll ask my husband, he's one of the online media staff at the Sun.

Thanks for the answers. Hopefully it wouldn't look like Sam's hollywood kitchen; )

I actually loved the I LOVE LUCY clip. It made me smile (and made me happy that I don't have that kind of kitchen, though I wouldn't mind the VIEW).
