Open Thread Wednesday

DAVID vs GOLIATH? Sal Albanese debates Bill de Blasio tonight. Ch.2 at 7PM. The real election will be the Primary on Tues. Sept. 12. De Blasio may be more vulnerable than polls and media have public believe. With many former supporters of Mayor disappointed in past 4 years now seeking an alternative. As major party critics too spineless to run against an incumbent. If you want to see the giant come tumbling down don’t miss best opportunity to make it happen on Tues. Primary Day. The Hillary effect? Check out cover photo on current NY Magazine.

Should we be forewarned about any salacious details from the building’s past that could spark a long and confusing argument? The mind races at the scandalous possibilities.

I’ll leave to others (for now) but several major buildings on Montague have amazing “histories”…….

I’ve often thought of writing a (very large) tome; “The secret history of the Heights….

Subtitle: “America’s most occult neighborhood”……

Just before it gentrified that building was a “welfare hotel” housing families on public assistance.

Defeatist, realistic, whatever. A sufficient number of people are satisfied with the incumbent and his opponents aren’t remotely compelling enough. These are simple facts.

Well, just a question: what Montague St Bar, which held very little interest to women in the area, had a back room. And what went on in there…and then, what used to go on in the…..basement(!!!!!!)

You lost your virginity?

Mr moderator, do I have to suffer abuse here in the august halls of this forum of high culture and wisdom?

Besides, everyone, at least everyone who who was aware fully knew all this was going on. The cops knew it, (it was brought up openly at the 84th PCT community council!!!!)
Owners of adjacent buildings knew all about it.
Finally, a lot of these vermin left for such wonderful scenes like the nursery. Remember that one kids? But the bar and several other unsavory locations certainly caused an atmosphere in which Man’s Country was set up. All this was a plague on this area…which we finally managed to bring under control.

Too bad you didn’t get swept up along with it!!!

How many NGOs do you deal with, that is when you are not working as a journalist for unnamed outlets, or do you deal with the NGOs as part of that purported activity? Would you name any of your contacts?

Folks, the above last few postings are why I say does a nebula care if a group of fleas or microbes decide to shout insults at the nebula….

Those drone guys are a menace!

There’s a weird guy I see a couple of times a week at Willow and Joralemon. Every day I walk up Joralemon to the subway at Court Street, usually in the early to mid-afternoon. Once or twice a week, there will be a man, often walking a dog, whose path crosses mine at Willow Street. Every time, he says something obnoxious about my hair. I’m male, it’s long enough to be in a ponytail (and has been for about forty years). He doesn’t look insane (although I know appearances can be deceiving). He’s neatly dressed, clean, has a shave and a haircut, etc. Nonetheless, I haven’t responded to him just in case he is unbalanced and can’t really help himself. If I knew he wasn’t insane, I’d respond. He doesn’t look particularly threatening. Certainly not intimidating.

Anyone have any idea who this man is or what his problem is? It’s really starting to get annoying. Why does he care so much?

Two men in custody for breaking into the construction site at Clinton and Remsen. Now they’re looking for another just seen on an adjacent roof.

Does he have reddish hair? 60’s? If so, I’ve run into him. Seems harmless.
