Mascots Beware
Over the last few weeks, BHB has noticed an odd and ominous trend — restaurant mascots are being brutalized.
Sure, some of you reading this may have roughed up a Bob’s Big Boy statue during your college days, but he probably deserved it. However, the mighty mascots of the Heights are just innocent standees trying to make a living getting you to sample some tasty vittles.
Case in point: The Taze mascot guy on Montague. He’s been roughed up a little and half his face was gone last week.
Case in point: The senseless de-earing of the Blue Pig on Henry Street.
No word yet on whether or not the Connecticut Muffin Ice Cream Cone has hired a bodyguard.

The kids in the Pace dorm are too busy playing their music unbelieveably loud all night long. Can’t wait for them to leave.

[...] A while back, we reported on what seemed to be a trend of restaurant mascot assaults. "Aram" writes to the BHB Inbox with word of another senseless attack: You may be interested in this. This morning (saturday), around 9:30 a.m. I was walking home from having breakfast on the promenade in Brooklyn Heights, and when I reached Remsen between hicks and henry, I saw something strange on the ground. It was a broken statue, much like those that appear outside tacky restaurants to hold a menu of daily specialties. His legs were missing and his arm was broken.Then, at the edge of the block (henry), I saw his feet. It looked like someone carried him (possibly from Monty Q's, though I did not check), down the block where his legs snapped off… in a panic, the vandals (ok, alleged vandals) then rushed down the block heading towards the promenade when they ditched the statue, thereby breaking off his arm. That's my Law & Order style hypothesis. Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested in the photos (taken with my glorious iPhone). [...]
