1. Someone who works late and wouldn’t be able to receive the delivery until the 10-11:30 time slot.

2. Someone who placed their order to find out that earlier time slots were sold out, thus grudgingly selecting the 10-11:30 time slot.

3. Someone who is purposefully doing nothing all day in order to wait for the 10-11:30 time slot at which point they can maliciously create maximum annoyance to others.

Maybe Pier 6, at the foot of Atlantic Ave would be more appropriate, especially considering the lyrics to Shadrach:

“So I’m out pickin’ pockets at the Atlantic Antic/ And nobody wants to hear you ’cause your rhymes are so frantic.”

It would be an awesome plaque.

You also might want to consider reaching out to the Yauch and Beastie Boys families to see what they think.

People are against it because it is a poor idea. I really liked MCA, but why not find a new park and name it after him. Or perhaps maybe a section of the new brooklyn bridge park that is yet to be created. Just because you don’t recognize the accomplishments of Squibb, doesn’t mean they should be forgotten. A little history for you…

“After the war he ran the medical station at the Brooklyn Naval Yards. As a Navy physician, Squibb became disenchanted with the poor quality of medicines used on American military vessels and, as a result, in 1854 he invented an improved method of distilling ether, an anesthetic. He gave away his distillation method, rather than patent it for profit. In 1858 he left the military and started his own pharmaceutics manufacturing business in Brooklyn. His laboratory burned down three times, and in one of these instances an ether explosion left Squibb badly burned. In 1892 Squibb created a partnership with his two sons, Dr. Edward H. Squibb and Charles F. Squibb, the firm being known for generations afterwards as E. R. Squibb and Sons. Squibb died on October 25, 1900, at his home in Brooklyn, New York, from a ruptured blood vessel.”

I suggest “Beastie Bridge”.

I’m moseying on over to https://www.facebook.com/AdamYauchPark and “liking” that idea.

That park has been a suppository for long enough.

Also does anyone have any intel on when Saul Bolton’s new Italian place Red Gravy is supposed to open in the old Mezcal’s on Atlantic?

The yelling woman was not in the street. A white wire/cord that had been attached to the tree in front of 101 Montague Street (the Lantern Restaurant) came loose in the wind from the East River or for some similar reason. A passing truck further loosened the cord — which had a hockey-puck-sized receptor of some sort on the end. The cord and receptor swung across the street toward Key Food. She was hit hard on the head by the receptor/puck.

It was either someone’s poorly rigged-up WiFi or leftover wiring from the Montague Street BID’s holiday tree lights. Whatever it was, part of the wiring is STILL in the other tree and streetlight in front of Key Food. The woman was on the sidewalk, simply walking the dog and going home with her bagel and coffee when she was hit on the head. She has gotten medical attention and is very lucky to have just a bump on the head.

A few feet to the left or right and she could have been blinded. A few feet lower and a child could have been killed. Do any readers know whose white cord was up there?

The Heights was certainly colorful then, on my last visit “home” I found it rather staid and boring.

A few hundred low income housing units would do the nabe a world of good.

43% of Denver B-Cycle users said they replaced car trips with bike rides. (Denver B-Cycle, 2010)

Velib’ reduced Paris traffic 5% in its first year (Bremner, C., and Tourres, M., 2008)

89% of Velib’ users said it allowed them to move around Paris more easily (Velib’, 2008)

More than 400 jobs are connected to Montreal’s Bixi (Bixi, 2010)

96% of first-year users of Lyon, France’s Velo’V had not ridden in Lyon before (Holtzman, D., 2008)

23% of trips on Minneapolis’ Nice Ride would have been by motor vehicle (Nice Ride, 2010)

Bicycling increased 44% in Lyon within the first year it introduced bike sharing (Buhrmann, S., 2008)

Bicycling increased 70% in Paris since Velib’ was introduced in July 2007 (Bremner, C., and Tourres, M., 2008)

This is a very well thought out program. They had a lot of other cities to study to see what worked and what hasn’t. This is not new guys, there are bike sharing programs in many cities and they have proved to be very popular and have reduced vehicular traffic.
