Barton's Hardwood Doors

We have a concrete backyard and used Stone "R" Us (don't have the number at hand)(also I don't really get the name of their company) to jackhammer a portion of the concrete and build some retaining walls. I imagine they could do just a straight jackhammer job. The hard part is carrying the thousands of pounds of rubble through your house. The other hard part is what to do with the thousands of pounds of rubble after you haul it through your house.

Who's busting on Casa Rosa? They have the best gnocchi I've had in a long time. Maybe it smells funny and the wine list isn't very good but the food is great.

FYI the Boerum Hill Association has some snazzy No Flyers signs. Contact Sue Wolfe, info at http://www.boerumhillbrooklyn.org/bha/. They're also available at Tony's Hardware on Smith.

A recent Transportation Alternatives study showed that about 50% of the traffic in Park Slope was just circling for parking spots. This program will work to reduce that amount of traffic, and will prevent even longer parking searches once the congestion pricing plan goes into effect.

11:56 is comparing apples and oranges. I don't see what's immoral about parking permits. Preventing people from coming into neighborhoods based on race is clearly immoral. I shouldn't even be responding to this. Delete!

Full disclosure: I'll be speaking tonight at Huckleberry regarding the legal side of home purchases. We try to focus on home purchases for people who have "non traditional" sources of income, such as project-based employment or self-employment. It can be more difficult to obtain mortgage financing without a typical "9 to 5" job - we, especially Rob Slifer, the mortgage broker, try to tailor this seminar toward the atypical homebuyer who may have a more difficult time applying for a mortgage. Hence, the "hipster" focus. By the way, Eve Levine is the real estate broker who has organized this event - for some reason she was not listed here.
