On Sunday evening, a car managed to crash—backwards—into the townhouse at the corner of Remsen and Hicks in Brooklyn Heights, recalling a similar accident that happened at the Rite Aid in Park Slope last month. According to a tipster who sent in these photos to the Brooklyn Heights Blog, nobody was hurt.

  1. OMG, christopher, I so remember that! When I was looking for an apt. in 1981 I saw that one and heard of its history (plus another one in Carroll Gardens where the tenant had hanged himself – “the Malara (sp?) apartment”) but we were superstitious and ended up on Columbia Heights instead – no regrets there!

  2. That house has bad luck…

    … the crazy guy who wrote the swastikas on local synagogues, and was building pipe bombs in his bedroom, lived in that building.

    … back in the late 70s/early 80s there was a murder in the garden apartment

    and speaking of the garden apartment, it was the shrink’s apartment in the movie The Departed.

  3. That’s not a Subaru, but I’d agree with the stereotype and add in some additional characterisitics: the driver is uusally sporting frizzy hair, John Lennon-type spectacles and crocs.

    I’d be so pissed if I were the brownstone owner.
