What's with the multiple posts lately here on B-stoner? Is it a technological glitch, or some enhancement designed to beef up the flagging number of comments?

What's the opposite of lipstick on a pig?

I wouldn't send my dog to that hospital.

My wife and I waited for over 5 hours in the ER one night after she fractured her ankle, and we were still behind 10-12 other folks who hadn't been seen. We didn't even get an ice pack from the unhelpful staff. We gave up at around 5am, and I half-carried her back to our apt, where at least we could ice her ankle and give her some Advil. In the morning we took a cab to a real hospital in Manhattan.

A guy I know (who grew up in Bed Stuy and now lives in Ft. Greene) received a fairly serious eye injury during a pick-up basketball game and actually took a cab into Manhattan rather than go to this dump.

Avoid it at all costs.

Wow--a kind, supportive comment on this blog. Rare, and nice to see.

Where can I see these school reports online? And where's a good map of where the districts begin/end?

Thanks.

Yes, buying gold when it's near its all-time high is a great idea. Thanks for the shitty advice, Oliver.

p.s. I'm truly sorry that The What seems to have lost the plot. I enjoyed some of his posts that weren't cut-and-paste.

Have you not yet realized, 7:18, that the realtors themselves troll this blog and seed it with comments on their own listings? Seriously: check out 6:37. A person without a vested interest just wouldn't make comments like that. It's laughable.

Man, my bedroom window used to be 100 ft. from that construction pit, right on Rockwell. Thank god we moved.

I do have to say though, that just about anything is an improvement on what was there before.

Agreed on many of your stated FG benefits, 6:51—except for the hospital. I wouldn't send my dog to that ER. I spent hours and hours in that waiting room once with a girlfriend who'd broken her ankle, surrounded by other people waiting who were all in dire need of attention, everyone waiting and waiting with no sign of help. That place is shit. Other than that, though, great 'hood.

As for 3+MM for that place? Please.

The word "nabe" makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Will this create a rebound in the real estate market, or is it still not enough to squelch the impending trouble? What do people think?

AY aside, I think it's way overpriced. 1.9M? Insanity.
