A Hole Bugs Nabe
BHB Newshound “Kris” writes: Here is a picture that I captured on my walk to the Clark Street subway station this morning. This hole has been there for at least 2 months, not to mention another one just like it at the intersection of Hicks and Remsen. The only thing they’ve done is put a […]

Kermit’s Bike Lane
As mentioned by many in yesterday’s Open Thread Wednesday, we have a lovely new GREEN bike lane on Henry Street (it’s a DOT experiment reports The Brooklyn Eagle). While we were busy at Dick Swizzle’s birthday party last night (and recovering this morning) McBrooklyn posted a nice photo of it today. We’re curious as to […]
