Parking in Brooklyn Heights

By on June 14, 2013 4:18 pm in Parking

I don’t own a car, but I imagine parking has not gotten any better around here recently? I spotted this on Henry Street yesterday. Which came first, the Minivan or the Audi? Looks like the Minivan, with the Audi trying to, literally, wedge its way in. The fact that it has one of those bumper [...]

Pervasive ‘Delivery Man’ Film Shoot Hijacks The Heights

By on October 23, 2012 1:00 pm in Brooklyn Heights, Movie shoots, Parking, Streets, War On Fun

Consider this the week that the “Delivery Man” took over Brooklyn Heights.

Montague Street Parking Ticket Overkill? Come On!

By on August 28, 2012 12:00 am in Brooklyn Heights, Parking, Streets, War On Fun

Are you kidding? This UPS truck parked on Montague Street Monday afternoon across from the AT&T store was adorned with not one, not two, but three parking tickets, each strategically placed so as not to overlap.
