I, frankly am pleased as punch that the President lived in my neighborhood for three months. If I ever have the honor of meeting him and he asks me where I am from I will tell him and he will know EXACTLY where I mean and I think that that is neat! No President before him would have known exactly where I meant.

Korla–You are so wrong. Clark Street no longer has a bagel shop now that the Gristede’s burned.

Kris: Watch out. I posted a link to a schedule of events about the B’klyn bridge anniversary celebrations and it was deleted because it wasn’t on topic (though for some reason the ? that elicited my response was not deleted)
Isn’t a thread on a blog an open forum for an exchange of (albeit often disorganized and disjointed) thoughts?
I believe the only comments on a thread that should be deleted are those which are grossly offensive, though everyone has the right to run their blog as they see fit.
I appreciate the hard work the hosts put in to maintaining this site.

Is one of you the person on Hicks who still has that Hillary sign in the window? Now, it happens that I find political memorabilia a fun collectors item, but you need to let it age a bit. Either that or someone’s getting a jump on 2012.

The Obama campaign has also made me proud of this country. When you see people rallying behind McCain’s pro-imperialist agenda or Lurleen Clinton’s deseparation campaign, it makes you wonder, though.

I’m sure he remembers where he lived; but I’m also sure that there’s nothing to be gained by alerting reporters (“So what music did he play at 3 AM?”) and others to the whereabouts of his former (and brief) digs.

In 2007, according to the Brooklyn Paper (see above), enthralled Heights resident “Daphne” made the following observation regarding Obama: ” This is the first time in my adult life I thought there was a chance to be proud of being American again.” Hmmmmm. Sounds vaguely familiar. She must have gotten refreshed at Michelle’s Kool – Aid stand.

It’s not that he’s a liar. It’s that he lies for no real reason.

Did you ever live someplace for more than a year and not remember your address, or even the street you lived on?

What a crock. Every subway station has a place nearby to buy a bagel and the Times.

He’s obviously talking about Bagel Lady on Clark Street, so it was likely the North Heights. Small universe!
