This City is Changing in Ways I Just Don't Understand Anymore

Away with your FILTHY, pre-owned items! We must have it new. New!

Here are the remnants of the National Council on Jewish Women (NCJW) thrift store on Flatbush – you know, the one that used to pile all sorts of treasures out on the sidewalk. Oh… wonder what they have today? … Well, you can forget about that, now. Happy?

Just a few weeks ago, Jack wrote on the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Oh, no. Oh, no. I can’t believe they are gone! They were truly one of the last old school gems and they really had a nice selection of stuff… it seems all the cheapo places to shop in this city are fading fast.”

“One of the two sisters was there in the store with the other African American woman who worked there. They recognized me, and when I asked ‘So, you’re closed forever?’ they said ‘Sorry, yes, thank you for coming…'”

“… that place has been there virtually forever … Seeing it all cleared to the walls was just a shock. This city is changing in ways I just don’t understand anymore.”

This is just one of three notable Flatbush Ave. junque store closings recently. As marthajoy reported, “a lot of second-hand stuff on Flatbush has closed down … [including] that antique store [next to Franny’s]. I noticed that the Second Time Around furniture (also affiliated with Jewish Women’s thrift store) over behind Yummy Taco is closed too.”

Just doing our part to pass this one around. We originally saw this posted by friendly_chic407 on citynoise.org, the website of Prospect Heights’ very own rhodamine. Now it’s on Flickr, and Boing Boing, and joshreynolds.blogspot.com, and …

‘chic says: “I tried to avoid eye contact with him but I had a feeling he was up to no good when he kept massaging his crotch … So I took out my cell-phone and turned on the camera. Then I aimed the camera at him and took a quick shot. He quickly zipped himself up and got off at the next stop (it was two-three stops before union square). That didn’t prevent me from getting a really good shot of him in the act.”

How Much Health Food Can You Stand?

noisefootprint just texted me that there is a new “Healthy Nibbles” awning on Flatbush and Prospect Place. Apparently it looks like a juice place, with organic snacks… appears to be taking over half of a storefront that has some boutiquey, leather-goodsy, framey type place with the art on the wall. Half of it shut down, and it’s reopening as a juice bar.

So this is practically across the street from the Happy Carrot juice/health food place, or whatever that’s called. And isn’t “NY Naturals” nearby? How much health food can one block bear?

ROGUE'S GALLERY!: Beware The Prospect Heights Gas Siphoner

Now that gasoline is more expensive than gold, is anyone surprised that siphoning is making a comeback of 1974 proportions?

Rhodamine reports on the Prospect Heights Message Boards that his old Volvo was “running on vapors” after only two trips to Williamsburg (fie, you hipster!) and moving once for alternate side parking:

“So, I figured that either(1) anti-gasoline black matter exists in Williamsburg, or (2) someone in PH has been syphoning off my gas.”

“My fears were verified when I went to the AutoZone on Atlantic and picked up a $12 locking gas cap and the clerk asked me ‘Having problems with someone stealing your gas, too? I must have sold a hundred of those this week’…”

In a time-honored tradition, Daily Heights is offering $25 for a photo of the Prospect Heights Gas Siphoner in flagrante delicto. Camphones at the ready!

Who's Dumping Garbage at Vanderbilt and Prospect?

garbage_vanderbilt_prospect.jpgLeslieGore writes: “I am getting really tired of … people leaving their junk on the corner- it blows up and down the street, getting in my yard and in others. It is so inconsiderate.”

“To who ever left their old clothes on the corner- If you want to throw out your stuff- do it in front of your own house. If you want to leave it for your neighbors- do it in front of your own house.
To the person who left out the air conditioner- do you know that there is a free city agency that will pick it up for you? … So you do not have to leave it on the corner- in front of a building you do not live in? That way, when the guy with the bat and the shopping cart comes by at 11 pm to beat it up and to rip out the motor- I will not have to call the precinct house. Thanks for letting the freon out all over the place.”

“I do not mean to offend anyone- I am just getting really tired of people treating the corner as if it is a dumping ground. We all live here- please try to be considerate of your neighbors.”

URGENT: McNeal Lehrer at Freddy's, this Tuesday Early PM

Tony Limuaco is trying to get the word out that The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer (PBS) will be down at Freddy’s tomorrow (Tues. Aug 23) at 6:00-ish 6:30-ish “to investigate the impact of the Ratner curse”:

“Rinse out those softball shirt and represent, or just show up. I’m making a selected set of prints from Sunday’s softball game. If you know any of the musicians that have played at Freddy’s they should show up too.”

He asked if dailyheights.com could do another Rock Paper Scissors competition. It’s too short notice to put on something major. But I can suggest that people meet there spontaneously to hang out, drink beer, and participate in spontaneous games of chance and skill, including, but not limited to, Rock Paper Scissors.

Happy hour, anyone? Read more.
