    Butch is still with us, but I believe he has been ill. (Not to mention it hasn’t been “sitting out”weather.)
    He is better now and was seen on his corner today.

    The bum on State Street is a true Jackass. Maybe he left his corner worried that he was going to end up like the playground equipment at PS 29?

    @madeinbrooklyn-louie had a CB base. He came under he influence of a far more notorious CB’er and well, we had an
    18 month electronic race riot in the downtown area. It was wild
    it really started with kids in the Farragut projects trading stories
    over the air with kids in the red hook area on how they ripped off
    (white) women in the heights. When some pretty mild Heights
    radio types objectd to this they were met with strong abuse and
    threats. People callled and visite the FCC office an called the
    NYPD communications dept with no result for about two years.
    Finally a group ofheights radio amatuers went around the
    projects and red hook and idenfied the perps. Butalso several
    guys with powerful bases decided to stick the racial abuse back
    in the faces of the project kids. Who promptly began to cry
    racism. At one of the high points of this the racial exchanges
    were coming over hundered of TV, radios, audio systems,
    electrc blankets…anything tht would detect close field RF.
    The Brooklyn Heights Press became involved and in an
    early PC effect took the side of the projects kids…

    Louie was involved, albeit somewhat of a late arrival.

    Then the Heights guys formed a pirate radio station and for
    about a year louie was thier “morning drive” guy…..

    Louie the electrician…part of the secret history of the Heights…

    Homer. Better late than never. Upon review of my coments I retract. Too harsh. At this point, kind of like a newspaper retractment but none the less…
