Is There a Stalker on Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights? [Brooklyn Heights Blog]

If anyone lays a hand on the stalker guy, they’ll be the ones arrested. That’s how *f*ed up things are.
On the ‘Fallen Women’ link, check out the link to a Google book on life among the destitute in Old New York. Fascinating bit of social history a la Jacob Riis, an interesting comparison to the recent debate over saving Haitian orphans in terms of society’s presumptions for its “do-gooders.” Also some great vintage hatin’ on the Irish, still a blood sport in the 1880s…
Priority #1:
Next lunchtime walk, try to see that stalker guy for myself.
The security guys at work say I do a better job than some of their colleagues.
