I loved Hot Bird — I miss them every time I see those signs.
“Says me [and everyone else]. Atlantic is the great divide. Just because you can see it from PH, doesn’t make it yours : P”
You and “everyone else” know what you can do, and since I disagree, not “everyone else” agrees with you. Anyway, I don’t give a half-damn what you all think. It’s in Prospect Heights.
10:23- cooking chicken?
I remember “Hot Bird”and their bright yellow delivery vehicle,,, wasn’t there one located in Sunset Park too back in the late 70’s?
There was such a high rate of unemployment back then that working class folks humor used to be, “well, you can always deliver for Hot Bird”! 🙂
This sign is in Brownsville. I should know, because I’m Suzy Chapstick.
Love,

Its a sign in clinton hill because in that picture is my kitchen window (I live in Clinton Hill) and its not off of washington avenue, its between vanderbult and clinton ave.
I knew the person who started Hot Bird. I thought it would be big.
Plus he would do the big signs himself! No Bullshit. Those was the days.
Here read this, it’s very scary. I will post it tomorrow.
Be well and have a good night

The What
Someday this war is gonna end………
That sign is across from Mcdonalds on Atlantic tween Clinton and Vanderbilt, not Washington Ave.,since it is closer to Clinton Ave, I say its Clinton Hill.
Hot Bird was around from approx ’87-’92. Very good chicken meals, too. They had a bright yellow dodge delivery van with an orange globe atop that said HOTBIRD. Their telephone number was 718-Hot-Bird, which was very easy to remember. They were way ahead of their time, and could have been bigger than Starbucks, if people liked chicken more than coffee.
