so . . . has your trash been picked up lately?

I actually haven't noticed tbh. I think so. But I live in a student building on a toney brooklyn heights block, so one or the other of those facts probably accounts for it.

in Kensington, ours went yesterday

i think my trash got picked up last night (ft greene)

same here

I take it back, they didn't pick up on our street yet. our super must have hidden everything downstairs. in front of other buildings the trash mounds were getting a fresh dusting of powder this morning. perfect for a rat ski vacation.

after they picked up tons more trash came out that had been accumulating in buildings

and now it is snowing alala

usually you have to see her phys asst but she's good too

No idea how she is if you don't have a plan

how expensive I mean

(to be clear that's in the wall street area, not the NYU area)

A Duane Reade in Brooklyn With a Beer Bar
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/14/business/14beer.html?hp

"“With each of our newer stores, we’re trying to find what works in our community,” Mr. Tiberio said. And in Williamsburg, “this was an area that was devoid of opportunities for beer,” he said. "

haaaaaa.
fuck duane reade. they opened up across the street from a family-owned, long-running pharmacy when they already had a location a few blocks away. also, there are a million places i'd rather go to get my beer.

^^^ talking abt the specific new williamsburg DR btw.

lol last nite i saw this and was lla THIS is leading on the times site right now - so i took a screenshot wtf

"We’re trying to bring in New York references,” said a CBX partner, Todd Maute. CBX hit the New York angle again in the name for the bar —Brew York City — which is also on the old-time growler bottles of dark glass"

Brew York City

shamelessness and immunity to embarrassment still rockin' the marketing career path

i like that he's "bringing in" the "New York references" as if it's a TGI Friday's in Wichita

Something really gross and unappealing about getting tap beer in a pharmacy.

I got a lot of objections to this nonsense, but getting stuff in a pharmacy isn't one of them. In my hometown, there's a drugstore that is also a gift shop that is also a lunch counter and soda fountain. People go there to get a bowl of soup or a burger or a milkshake and run their errands. Maybe it's a small-town thing.

morbs otm

haha that picture!!! that guy!!! those shades!!!! that whole situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! williamsburg i love you!!!!!!!!!!!

i like pharmacies that are kind of like junk shops and it is true that food and beer are kinds of drugs too, but obv it's the inauthentic marketing-department kitch factor that is making this a not-good idea. i mean, there's beer everywhere in brooklyn!
xp
hahahaaaaaa!!!!

Well yeah and that it's duane reade and not your quaint mom-and-pop drug store.

I'm hearing guy in shades thinking "So this is Williamsburg" in a Will Arnett voice.

"We’re trying to bring in New York references"

^^ admirable goal, wouldnt want to have a new york business with no new york references

fluorescent lights make beer taste better

i picture him on Google, typing in "New York drugstores"

customers will receive genuine scale model replica new york granny cart w/each beer purchase

Move over Duane Reade, Marshall's is coming to town:

Is 249 Fourth Avenue in downtown Brooklyn? That is where the Capstan Shafts are playing tomorrow!

sorry to say but i will buy clothes at marshalls.

There is a marshalls right near me in the same building as Old Navy, Stop and Shop and Guitar Center. Take that, Brooklyn.

we know queens is one giant step closer to suburbia, you don't have to bring it up just to make us jealous :( bet u have a wendys too.
