    The likes of me?! What exactly does that mean? And my post was no more of an attack than your post. I just was pointing out what I consider the hypocrisy of your post considering that you are content to enjoy the cloak of anonymity.

  • gatornyc

    No kidding, but this country is not one of them. And it doesn’t mean that one should not follow the rules — which ultimately amounts to courtesy to others — when enjoying the benefits of this blog. Your insinuation that any request to limit Marsha’s posts brings to mind fascism is either absurd or indicative of your lack of understanding of what fascism is.

  • Doug Biviano

    Nah, I don’t think you understand how quickly things can change and this country is not immune, especially when you look at the trends. In the meantime, skimming works ;-0

  • Doug Biviano

    In fact, here’s a little taste of it in our own town:

    Got woken up last night around 1:00 AM to a male and female screaming they were ” god”. good times.

  • BrooklynCoffeeLover

    If I wasn’t running the NYC Marathon, I would be all over this.

    Thumbs up to the manager at Gristedes. Their credit card system went down last night. They had a huge line of people buying food. I only had 4 items and he told me to just come back the next day and bring him $12. I went back today to drop off the cash. He didn’t think I would and told me to keep the money. Very nice guy.

  • DIBS

    Forget it. He obviously doesn’t understand

  • MonroeOrange

    um..there is no manager there…i think some stranger told you to leave without paying!

  • miriamcb

    There are managers there! There are 3 managers that I know and then the deli manager too. My daughter and I visit the store frequently since we basically go every morning, a habit I’ve had for years. There have been a few times to be glad that we are in BKHeights, because customer service has always been great for us and I know we wouldn’t get the same service elsewhere in the city…

  • MonroeOrange

    it was a joke!

  • MonroeOrange

    maybe it was G-D…every think of that???? hmmmmm

  • miriamcb

    Haha – tightly wound day for me!

  • MonroeOrange

    sounds like a quitters attitude…lace up your shoes and get out there!

  • MonroeOrange

    Free Marsha!

  • miriamcb

    What are everyone’s favorite 5Ks in the city? I’m looking to sign up for some this Fall/Winter. I’m fine with 4m races too – I just want to do them leisurely and not feel overly competitive.

    I see the one that is posted below (which reminded me that I meant to ask all the runners out there!).

  • MonroeOrange

    my server at noodle pudding was especially lovely. This weekend the Atlantic Antic happened. There is a great sale at Banana Republic. I want you to the read the following, “i”ssues.

    Was that helpful?!

  • Andrew Porter

    Amen, brother. Or sister. Whatever…

  • MonroeOrange

    wait there is a new building on Montague? what’s next, are they going to close the library too?!

  • MonroeOrange

    um Marsha…i think he/she was talking about you!

  • MonroeOrange

    SHOW IT!

  • MonroeOrange

    Marsha…no further comment?! what! don’t let them silence you!

  • Andrew Porter

    It’s outside the BH landmark area, between the Archstone and the corner building. Then there’s the possible hotel at the former site of the Cohen Optical store. Weirdly, the building has a modern facade on Montague, the old one on Pierrepont.

    But the rest of BH, within the Landmarked area, will not change, except for infill buildings, like 20 Henry, the Heights Cinema bldg., etc.

  • Andrew Porter

    Doug, aren’t you happy you *weren’t* elected? Think how much less time you’d have to post stuff here…

  • Andrew Porter

    My favorite 5K is the balance I have in my checking account. But then, I’m not a runner; I’m a fast walker (but not by the standards of David on Middagh).

  • DoBro84

    I’m also running NYC this year. Good luck on Nov. 2nd!!!

  • marshasrimler

    ha ha

  • DoBro84

    You might try posting your question on Runner’s World in the “New York City Marathon” forum. There’s no charge to create an account and post.

    Several NYC runners frequent that forum and I’m sure they’d be helpful. The URL is:

    http://community.runnersworld.com/forum/new-york-city-marathon

    I’m not a 5k racer so I don’t have any experience to share.

    Good luck!

    It’s residents not residence.

  • ltap917

    marsha, I’m willing to bet that most of the people who post here don’t even live in Brooklyn Heights at all. Keep up the good work!
