1st off, I freaking love your site. I check it as often as my email. Apart from being a wealth of actually useful local information and the only real neigborhood news I can find, it reads like a comic strip. On numerous occassions I have actually pointed at the screen and cried gleefully “That’s my laundromat!” or “That’s my street!” Fabulous!
2nd, I’d like to call the attention of the PH community to a brazen new addition to our neighborhood and, incidentally, my living room. The church on Sterling and Underhill, across the street from the flame-fated 2-way Laundry Center and the beloved Espinale Grocery, has recently installed a glaring fluorescent light over their front door. This garish bulb goes on every night around sunset and shines til dawn, filling the street and shining directly into my apartment, lighting it up like a bug zapper. While we’ve considered vandalism, I’d love some church-friendly suggestions as to how to go about getting them to change their lighting choice. It may be a new bulb (we’ll buy it for them!) or a new fixture (we’ll find a way!) but whatever the cost, this terrible, terrible light has got to go, or we may need blackout shades.
I could take a picture of it tonight, but fare warning: it may blind you.
Barf! Who came up w/the nickname ProHo? I think it’s god awful. I’ve been living in PH for almost 7 yrs now and I’d never heard this nickname until a few months ago. Too much gentrification IS a bad thing, Let’s keep Prospect Heights “PH”balanced. ProHo move to Soho.
