getting some hipster to say the same thing out loud probably wouldn't be that hard, but jeez

man maybe i could write for the times if i could quote twitter and then not even mention that 'OhMyRockness' is a pseudo-pitchfork site

ohmyrockness is a regional show listings site, nothing like pitchfork.

Kentile sign saved! Probably -- to be dismantled and moved somewhere in Gowanus.

100% that sign never gets put back up cause of neighborhood opposition

I could not give less of a fuck about the preservation of something

god bless this sign for an out of business flooring company but you know all good things must come to an end when life closes one door it opens another namaste

Perhaps the two sides could reach an agreement where the sign is dismantled and taken down but the residents can 'reclaim' pieces from the sign and repurpose them as coffee tables, baby strollers, and vintage denim

maybe we could alter it to say something Dunhamish

this is a really good idea too

lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 June 2014 23:43 (eleven years ago)

My idea was that they should keep the sign, build condos on the propert and call them the Kentile Floors Lofts

Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 18 June 2014 00:44 (eleven years ago)

This reminds me of a thing I saw (maybe based on a true story) in a play once about Jews in WWII era Brooklyn where someone vandalized a JEWISH FORWARD sign so it said JEWIS FORWAR

So Tony's Hardware on smith is oob -- hoping Tony is retiring bc it would bum me out otherwise. Also the MET on smith st is going out of business, which I am more agnostic about (because I am rich and can afford Union Market, TJs, etc) but jesus h christ it's a goddamn grocery store going out of business and likely served the Warren/Wykoff houses mostly and that is a real drag

A Crown Heights broker lady talked a ton of shit about Prospect Lefferts while driving us to various apartments. obviously she was trying to play up Crown Heights, and she knew we were thinking about a place in Prospect Lefferts, so no big deal. but then I mentioned that my gf's sister lived in Prospect Lefferts and she said, quietly, "uh yeah, I guess Prospect Lefferts is real up and coming...but Crown Heights is NOW!"

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 22 July 2014 16:56 (eleven years ago)

haha

caek, Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:01 (eleven years ago)

after visiting a few spots and considering my budget, i came to the conclusion that i would rather have later (or never) than now

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:05 (eleven years ago)

it's a good hood imo, right near the park and all

mookieproof, Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:09 (eleven years ago)

What's the broker's interest in steering you to Crown Heights vs Prospect Lefferts?

'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:12 (eleven years ago)

probably has a place to rent there
welcome to NOW

yeah, she specialized in crown heights ("i used to try to rent out places in prospect lefferts, but...ICK! CROWN HEIGHTS IS WHERE IT'S AT!"

she also expressed some disbelief that i hadn't heard about her or read about her before. she's a big deal

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:17 (eleven years ago)

does anyone have a recommendation for burly moving dudes? i'm moving into a 6th floor apartment and i'm pretty sure the place doesn't have a freight elevator, so i'm splurging so that my first day in NYC doesn't end up with me being exhausted and frustrated and punching a wall
