We have a message from Ramen Cromwell, owner of 1-1/2-year-old Shiba Inu Lili, who tells us she has been returned to her appreciative owner. Lili slipped from her collar Tuesday night, February 7, while out with her walker.
Ramen shares the tail, uh, tale, that led to Lili’s return: A couple saw her in the neighborhood and pursued the shy critter to come to them. Continue Reading →
This in from reader Kate, who has found a cat (not BeeBop):
For the past two nights, a large white and gray/black striped cat has visited our back yard (on Pierrepont, between Willow and Columbia Heights). S/he has dense, short hair and an unusually shaped face. We have given this sweet cat lots of food, but have been unable to capture him/her to being him/her inside. However, we managed to get the attached picture. Continue Reading →
Mrs. Fink snapped this photo of a sign on Henry Street near Clark requesting that someone “fix or disconnect” their “alarm system” as it is “violating the peace and quiet of the neighborhood continuously.” No word on if this is a store, home or car alarm in question.
This just in from Notify NYC:
Tomorrow between 10AM-3PM, New York City OEM and the federal government (FEMA) will test the Wireless Emergency Alert System, a new system that allows authorized officials to send alerts to enabled mobile phones. Depending on the model of your phone and carrier you may receive TEST messages. These messages will look similar to a text message and be accompanied by audible alerts. For more info see attached, or contact your mobile service provider.
The attachment is here.
Notify NYC has given us the following alert, along with the helpful photo at left, in case you don’t know what a blimp looks like.
Weather permitting, the U.S. Navy and the FAA will conduct capabilities flights using a U.S. Navy MZ-3A Airship (a blimp) in and around NYC tomorrow, 11/09/11, from 9:00 AM-4:30 PM. The flights will be based out of Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, and will operate at altitudes of 1,000 feet and below.
A clip of Captain Beefheart’s classic “The Blimp (Mousetrapreplica)” follows the jump. Continue Reading →
Brooklyn Bugle contributor/Brooklyn Heights resident/Homer’s pal/ Celine Dion fan Chuck Taylor reports on his adventure today at the Montague Street Key Food.
Baby Fink and I were there earlier today, stocked up on our favorite Ella’s Kitchen baby food (hey, great for grownups too if the Endtimes come) and bought two loaves of bread. We may have also tried to dissuade folks from buying candles in lieu flashlights as a backup for blackout. You know, so first responders aren’t rushing to a fire some Glade candle caused. Just sayin’. And Chuck, sorry about the bread… Continue Reading →

Another feline friend has taken French leave.
We’ve just posted our latest Brooklyn Bugle Session with Locksley performing their new single “The Whip” and a surprise cover song. Check it out here.
While you’re at it, check out the entire Bugle music section with contributions from world renowned jazz writer Jim Macnie and our own Claude Scales.
Also set the discussion about Suleiman Osman’s controversial book The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn off in the Brooklyn Bugle Book Club.
BHB tipster “Sara” sent us this photo of what appears to be “evidence” of two souls who were “called home” during today’s Rapture. As for the rest of us, we’re still here.
We are so on a roll with the lost and the found. Let’s see if we can reunite this Blackberry and its owner.
The photo comes courtesy of “PG” who found it and tells us:
I found a Blackberry Curve on State St. and Sidney Pl. earlier today. I brought it to the Sprint store and Radio Shack but was told the only way to find out who the owner is, was to wipe the memory. I thought I would try this first. Please call the phone if you lost one in the area so I can get it back to you.
Paul LaRosa thinks it is:
HuffPost NY: Laugh if you like, but I’ve been thinking more and more that Brooklyn, circa 2011, is very similar to what Paris was like nearly a century ago. Of course, I’m talking about the brownstone belt neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Fort Greene, but you can throw DUMBO, Williamsburg and Red Hook in there as well.

Montague Street between Hicks Street and Montague Terrace, Sunday afternoon, March 13, 2011. (Photo by C. Scales for BHB.)
It’s one thing that anyone who lives in Brooklyn – home to some of the country’s best pizza – would order “corporate fun” pizza like Papa John’s. Sure, it’s okay for folks from Wisconsin but for New York natives “forget about it” as we believe is the vernacular.
“Awesome Slut”, whose eponymous site won the “best sex blog” award from the Village Voice this year, tells all in her confessional “the mistakes we make” about an affair with Daniel Kaufman a/k/a Daniel Kay a/k/a Daniel Katze a/k/a the Busted Chef, whose true identity she discovered through a Google link to BHB.
Caveat: the language in Ms. Slut’s post is, in Homer’s words, “very Penthouse Forum.”
