StreetLevel: Slope Grocery Build-Out Almost Complete
The expansion of the 5th Avenue Associated between Union and President is nearly finished, and workers say the bigger store should be in business within the next few weeks. Associated took over the two storefronts next door, the old Beso restaurant space and the late, lamented Donuts coffee shop, for its expansion. A new awning…

The expansion of the 5th Avenue Associated between Union and President is nearly finished, and workers say the bigger store should be in business within the next few weeks. Associated took over the two storefronts next door, the old Beso restaurant space and the late, lamented Donuts coffee shop, for its expansion. A new awning was being installed on the building yesterday morning.

I really have no answer to your trolling question. I’ve been a moron for many years now (I think I inherited it from my Uncle Irving – you know, the one who thought he would strike it rich selling solar powered flashlights?) and I can assure you it’s given me no satisfaction whatsoever.
I’m sorry I missed the Crown Heights Proud post to which you referred. Actually, it seems I’ve been on this blog a long time yet I’ve never seen that login. Are you sure he/she didn’t end the post with a mention of two trolls continually going to an old page to discuss things amongst themselves? Which of course begs the question of why I told you to email me at an address I never use or check. But I digress… 🙂 That won’t give you a complex will it?
By the way, I look pretty in pink, I’ll have you know! Pretty what is another story…
I guess I don’t have to mention George bush and the compost problem he could solve singlehandedly?
Think of your experience here as an indication that you’re doing something right- Look how they hounded Montrose Morris, and NOP. I have to wonder what possesses people to troll. I mean, what kind of satisfaction can someone possibly get from being a moron? There’s no real desire to teach anything or learn anything. Or even speak up or out. It’s like they live to troll- can’t be much of a life. crown Heights Proud once called the troll- I wish I had kept it-it started out with pimple-faced and went through a series of ever increasingly and hysterically funny mutations until it ended on a triumphant note of your mother’s basement eating from one of the broken bags of chips surrounding your chair. Or some such- I have to find it for you.
So my 3 step program could be good right? Less steps than the traditional 12 point and you end up a lovely shade of pepto-pink which adds a lovely decorative touch when it starts to crumble off. Pink is a really hot color these days too. (Maybe if some of your square pants were pink you could impress people and influence hyenas!)
Thanks for the two consecutive Sally references, bxgrl! Now I can’t get out of my head the image of her in a sauna. I’m thinking that we can combat high gas prices and our overdependence on coal by simply putting a bucket under Sally. That could produce enough hydroelectric power for all of us with extra left over to sell to Palau. And think of the tourist dollars we could make giving Niagara Falls a run for it’s money.
I’m not familiar with Sponge Bob, although I’ve been accused of having square pants. Actually, most of my wardrobe would likely be considered pretty square by the hipster fashionistas at Gorilla Coffee. Yeah, reliving mistakes is particularly a prevalent experience here where one false move is jumped on by the guests like a pack of hyenas going after a wounded buffalo calf!
“Sting, itch, calomine” – yes, why can’t all life’s problems be reduced to those simple three steps?
Sounds like sunstroke! (Or is it that listening to a Shecky Green routine could give you sunstroke? Or make you wish for sunstroke)Oh wait- I think that was the image of Sally Struthers in a sauna that did it.
I love the “NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” silent scream – I use it all the time- it describes so much of my life, in a sponge bobby/ patricky kind of way. Yes- I confess. Cartoon lover here. Mistakes are a part of life- I got that- it’s just the agony of reliving them in slow motion instead of having them zip by like mosquitoes. You know, sting, itch, calomine, you’re done!
Ouch, speaking of unedited English, I meant to type that we now have to click “two” times. I realized after I hit the “Post” button and had that slow motion, terrified “NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” silent scream going that one sees in the movie as it disappeared into posting oblivion.
Ok, it’s kind of defeating the purpose that I’m still responding to you here, especially since we now have to click to times to get back to this thread, but I can’t check yahoo now. I’ll reply later…thanks for sending! And thanks for tolerating the cornball humor above that would have made Shecky Green blush during his Catskills stop along the Borscht Belt tour.
Yeah, how about that guest coming out of nowhere to defend you? Intriguing…
I’ll alert Tom and Katie about the aliens. They’ll surely be interested in the information…and stop calling them Shirley. Ok, the chain gang is about to leave, I’ve gotta go break up some rocks in the hot sun. Talk soon…
I think Sally has a lot more water to lose! I sent off a missive to the infamous email address- check when you can. I think we’ve been invaded- thank you guest – However I speak unedited English.:-)
Talk to you later- I have to check the tin foil to make sure the transmissions are not leaking out to the Homeland security satellite overhead. I believe windows and walls offer more protection than the cap with the antennae.
And if it’s not Reynolds, well- the aliens are coming….pretty soon..

bxgrl, no need to put Mr. B on the spot. I just took up Bold type guest on his ingenius suggestion and set up an email that is strictly for use for this blog. And the next time the Biff troll brings it up thinking he has so much info to use against me, I’ll post it again and record the more ridiculous stuff I receive (which I’m sure will be all emails except for yours!), including any that the Republican shill, lapel-pinning Legion might send. It’s biffchampion@yahoo.com. And have no fear, I promise on the Bible (which I’m sure I have even less than a layman’s knowledge of), my beloved parents, Jean Piaget, Judy Blume and Harpo Marx that I will never post your email handle. It couldn’t be safer than if it was being protected by the Department of Homeland Security (ok, sorry, that was meant to comfort and not worry you).
Ha ha, YES, the melodramatic barrista may very well be this generation’s answer to the Soup Nazi!
How about the weather today, by the way. I was sweating like Mike Tyson at a spelling bee! I lost more water than Sally Struthers in a sauna! And apparently the naked guy in the subway was yelling, ‘Who’s crazy now?’! And I had to apply sunblock before going to the bathroom! Ok, you get the idea…I hope you’re staying cool.
