No Nosferatu for Nabe Thesp
Farewell Floating Pool Lady, We Hardly Knew Ye
This weekend is your last chance to enjoy the Floating Pool Lady in the nabe — next year she moves to the Bronx.
New York Post: Boros to Pool Around: The new floating pool has been such a huge success on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront this summer the city plans to tow it elsewhere next year to give another neighborhood a chance to enjoy it, officials confirmed yesterday.
But Brooklynites who got used to the pool and beach – with its panoramic harbor views – want it to stay put.
"We've been waiting for Brooklyn Bridge Park for decades, we finally get a taste of it and now they want to take it away?" said Lauren Sheridan, a 29-year-old dance teacher from Park Slope.
"It makes no sense. It's the coolest thing, and it's a lot closer for me than heading out to Coney Island."

St. Ann’s Sells Brownstone
The Brooklyn Eagle: St.Ann's in Heights Has Buyer…: The historic St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Brooklyn Heights has announced the sale of part of its property, a five-story brownstone at 122 Pierrepont St., to a Brooklyn Heights family.
“This is an important step toward obtaining the funds we need to renovate the parish building [at 157 Montague St., adjacent to the church],” said the Rev. Angela Askew, priest-in-charge, in a July letter to parishioners. “The parish has agreed upon the use of these funds solely for this renovation, as it will permit us to expand outreach and service activities.”

Grosstedes Does It Again
This from a BHB tipster:
Check out the "sell by" date on this container of milk: August 22. That's OK if I didn't buy it TODAY from Gristedes on Henry Street (pic attached with receipt). Isn't that illegal to have this on their shelves? I called the store and they offered a refund if I walked all the way back. (They claimed no one was around to deliver) That's exactly what I want to do after working all day. Yes, I should have double checked the date when I picked it up. But I'd like to think that once in a while someone competent works at that store.
Any other "mishaps" at Gristedes?
Mansion House Elm Not Dead Yet
Word from the Mansion House is that the coop board is working with Con Ed and others to find ways to save the American elm in its courtyard at 145 Hicks Street.
Anyone else from the "inside" have an update?
