Open Thread Wednesday

as a pescatarian, i can only speak on the seafood option, which i found tasty but a bit salty. my husband likes the ramen burger when they fry the noodle bun enough.

I’m sure you do redlola… I’m sure you do…

You are in the minority.The library is shrunken and undergrounded.
The massive condo tower will cause a traffic nightmare with a marked rise in pollution.
The corrupt plan is under Investigation
We go to court. On Appeal already as state law has been violated.

Anyone live on Columbia Heights near The Standish and care to discuss the unbelievable and never ending construction? The noise, dump trucks, the debris, it’s miserable. I’ve had many conversations with the foreman, Joe. But it’s pointless. I’m a writer, often work from home, and can barely think straight with the noise. Yes I can go to a cafe, but everyday is a little much. P.s. They also start working at 7:30am, which could be a violation. I’m not certain though.

News Flash: Demolition has begun at Cadman Plaza Library. Heavy Duty Black
Garbage Bags filled with Debri and asbestos are on the floor of the library with dust all over the floor. Two signs are posted outside the library warning of asbestos abatement. Expect more cases of Cancer – Mesothelioma to be developed in Brooklyn Heights. There was no protective shrouding, covering
the outside of Cadman Plaza Library to protect the Brooklyn Heights Neighborhood from being polluted by toxic air.

In fact, both OSHA and the EPA concur that asbestos is not dangerous unless airborne.

Abestos becomes airborne during construction.

Just beacuse you have no friends, doesn’t mean others don’t. Jussayin.

Boy, I wonder who this was aimed at. Frankly, the ongoing rant about the library is getting a bit tiring and tedious. It’s always nice to have a mature, adult, tedious hall monitor like yourself. Do you even understand the meaning of an “Open Thread?” SMH

The Alamo, like Nitehawk, is a not the best movie going experience. Nothing like what we had at the Heights Cinema. Yes, Alamo is great about no talking, texting, etc. But the food service, which is how the make their money, kind of gets in the way of the actual movie. But maybe anything is better than the Regal.

It’s clear you know nothing of the matter in abundance.

Abundant asbestos abatement? Abhorrent.

Ampleness of affluence is
abundant.

Assemblywoman Simon posted to the Boerum Hill listserv:

Folks,

There is no asbestos removal occurring at the Bklyn Heights Library site. It is initial demolition. My office has looked into this and confirmed that DEP approval is pending the BPL’s submission for asbestos removal. Asbestos removal will not commence until approved by the DEP.

DEP went to the site this afternoon and confirmed that there is no asbestos being removed.

My office communicated this to Ms. Swartz this afternoon.

It doesn’t make your case to point out a notification on the building stating that abatement work will begin 10/24 when today is 10/21… in fact it makes the previous poster’s case, that the abatement hasn’t actually started yet. Keep in mind that you don’t know what materials in the building contain asbestos, unless you have access to the hazmat survey, so it may be that you will see very little evidence of the protective measures taken.
Use evidence based arguments to support your concerns. Be logical. You will get more buy-in to your cause with that than with unsupported hysterical outbursts.
