Contact for Aziz?

We used Aziz for our repointing in 2005 in Fort Greene. We'd like to use him for another job, but cannot track him down. Does anybody have his information, or know if he's still in business?

car break-ins in fort greene

there's a stretch of our block that is boarded up for construction (the Carlton Mews project), where car windows are routinely broken into, sometimes several times a week. we avoid parking there, obviously, but sometimes it's necessary when no other spots are open. i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for what we can do as a block to fight this problem. hopefully everyone is reporting the break-ins, but even so, i'm not sure what good that will do.

this reminds me, i thought street cleaning was going to be cut down to one day per week in fort greene. i wonder what's happening with that....

i agree, the erie basin park is wonderful. i walked my dog there last week and was very impressed.

ps: to continue on my thought above-- i think that would increase the chance of people being able to find stuff for cheap and hunt for treasures...

i had a great time as a vendor! despite the cold being pretty brutal... and i was very happy with how much i sold. although i make & sell new items, i agree that there should be a bit more old, less new stuff. but tote bags is one of the things that i sell-- and i sold out! so many people do like to buy them.

one other suggestion (and this was said already), some of the best fleas in California have sections where people can sell their stuff for one weekend, basically have stoop sales at the flea. i would love to do this with a lot of the vintage clothing that i've been meaning to sell on ebay. it would be great if you could regulate this somehow, so it's not just junk like plastic kids toys though...

they should have used this photo above for the article, instead of the photo of fort greene!
