Here’s something of a novelty: Potentially dangerous stuff falling off a building that doesn’t seem related to shoddy or unsafe conditions at a construction site. A small part of the façade of a building on 5th Avenue near Carroll Street crumbled last night (see photo on jump), leaving a big pile of rubble on the sidewalk. According to some bystanders who were on the scene this morning, the collapse happened at around 2 a.m., and no one was injured. In the meantime, cops have taped off the sidewalk around the debris and told us they’re waiting for the DOB to inspect the building and decide whether it needs to be vacated. GMAP

    You are extremely wasteful if you throw your shoes away instead of replacing them with a 10 dollar new sole.

    Most civilized people do go to show repair shops. They are on every block in Europe.

    If I’m spending 300 or 400 on shoes, I want to take care of them.

  2. 8:43: Seriously? You never get your shoes fixed? I know I use those places all the time. Why not replace a heel rather than chucking your shoes? On the other hand, I do not have any wagon wheels.

  3. 11:03 No specific knowledge of that club, however, check out some of the still existing social clubs and combine that with a historical demographic of what south brooklyn was and an idea may come to mind about the possibilities.
