Brooklyn Fare coming soon!
I was given a tour of Brooklyn Fare, the new food store opening on Hoyt and Schermerhorn. Mo,one of the owners, said he's planning a "soft opening" at the end of March and a more formal opening after that. The space looks great, surprisingly large, and Mo took real pride in pointing out some of the planned specialties. Looks like a potentially great addition to the "hood"!

the new copper downspouts installed on the church on our block were stolen rather quickly after installation - they looked great but are a real temptation for thieves

Jonathan did live in Clinton Hill at one time - I was his landlord.

This is the development site next to St. Nicholas Antiochian Cathedral toward the middle of the block. The church may be interested in one of the townhouses when they're built. One of the possible plans for the other site on that block (corner of State and Hoyt)is for a private elementary school.

Wing Wagon on Flatbush Ave. is my favorite wing place

I was disappointed. I ordered take out, they got my order a bit wrong, the place had an unpleasant smell, and the wings weren't very good, the order also .seemed to take too long.
There is a nice stump on the curb in front of 378 State St.(between Hoyt and Bond) It was put out this morning and is yours for the taking.

Ours was done before we purchased our house and looks very tasteful as if the house were originally built that way. I'd be happy to let you come by and see it if you're interested. It's a bit too difficult to describe in this message. We're located on State Street.

This was a great place to hang out when I moved to NY in the late 60's - there was another gay bar across the street called "Seville" and we would stagger between the two on many a Saturday night - the Starlite seemed to attract a rougher crowd than the Seville - ahhhh, great memories of my youth!

FYI: this church is also anti-gay.

I received a similar letter from Brownstone with a photo of my stoop. I removed the pots and hung some plants on the outer side of the railing ascending the steps. Looks great!

Join NYPIRG fuel buyers group. It saved me quite a bit. Membership is nominal ($35.00 a year a few years ago) and they assign you an oil company and used to guarantee a price - lower than the current market prices.

use NYPIRG - I saved a significant amount of money using them a number of years ago (I subsequently sold the building)

Great mural! What's its exact location?

join NYPIRG fuel buyers coop (in Manhattan phone book)- minimal charge of about $25.00 per year to join... I saved a great deal of money by using them when I owned a building with a boiler that used oil

neighbors - at least a group on state street - were not happy with this office and I understand they hired an attorney to fight it
