    “ET, no. He’s in food and drink round up back on our own planet.”

    Must have been the mention of Al Di La that brought him out of hiding.

  • ET

    thanks cobble, was just going to ask how do you get to the restaurant thread on this site.

  • CGar

    Are we unbanned???

  • cobble

    Yes, dear, it seems we weren’t ever banned, there was just a log jam in the moderation cue. It’s been roto-rootered!

  • ET

    His 1st post in 3 months and all it says is ‘Thank you.’????
    I’m not gonna read all 70 posts, but what does it mean?

  • jessibaby

    ET – not sure.

  • CGar

    “Basking Robbins” “HagenDaz”

    It’s Baskin Robbins and Haagen Dazs, idiot.

  • cobble

    ” Replaced by a ice cream store—Basking Robbins? (there were chains way back then too)…or
    HagenDaz?”

    No, can’t be. There were chains but AFTER when I was talking about earlier.

    Hmm, no, the Baskin Robbins was always downstairs. Maybe it was some other ice cream store. I just don’t remember one there, ever. John’s place was upstairs, it was on the South side near Clinton. I think it’s an asian food place now. It has the curved iron staircase. I’m almost positive.

  • cobble

    Haagen Daz was always on the next block where it is now. I know, I worked there in HS.

    As I said over there, it’s as cryptic as when Orson Welles uttered “Rosebud” at the start of Citizen Kane.

  • cobble

    “it’s as cryptic as when Orson Welles uttered “Rosebud” at the start of Citizen Kane.”

    I think it was more like a ‘testing testing 123′ to see if we were watching.

  • CGar

    Does everyone know that the Haagen Dazs store on Montague is the first one opened ever? In 1976, I believe the plaque out front says.

  • ET

    btw – where’s brooklyn heights? and is it nice?

  • Biff Champion

    “btw – where’s brooklyn heights? and is it nice?”

    No, it’s a terrible place. You would be wise to never, ever go there.

  • daveinbedstuy

    Has anyone who lives in brooklyn Heights ever been to bed Stuy??? Anyone????

  • ET

    that’s what I’ve heard….is it true the people that live in Brooklyn Heights are idiots?

  • Biff Champion

    “Has anyone who lives in brooklyn Heights ever been to bed Stuy??? Anyone????”

    Yes, I live in BH and have been to BS.

    What’s your point?

  • cobble

    “where’s brooklyn heights? and is it nice?”

    Eh, it’s just ok. Cobble Hill is nicer! ; )

  • ET

    “Yes, I live in BH and have been to BS. ”

    Yes, I live in BH and am full of BS.
    :-)

  • ET

    “Dispatches from America’s first suburb”

    Suburb? Is Brooklyn Heights in New Jersey?

  • Biff Champion

    Does Bay Ridge have a blog or nobody there owns a computer?

  • Biff Champion

    Oops, meant to add:

    :-)

  • cobble

    I’ve heard of Bay Ridge, isn’t that on Staten Island? : P

  • juuggaloo

    what the ?

    I’d find the explanation for all these comments, but I’m guessing it’s buried in the 175 comments.

  • ET

    There is a Bay Ridge forum type of site.
    I was actually thinking of starting a Bay Ridge Blog, but who would care?

  • ET

    “I’d find the explanation for all these comments,”

    The explanation is: We <3 Brooklyn Heights!

  • Biff Champion

    “I’ve heard of Bay Ridge, isn’t that on Staten Island? : P”

    I thought Bay Ridge was a type of potato chip.

  • cobble

    juuggaloo, It would only be a huge waste of your time. Life is too short.

    The simple answer is that there isn’t really any explanation for this. Any rational explanation, anyway. LOL!

  • ET

    We should get the What in here.

  • ET

    okay, see you around the nabe.
    Nite.
