Thank you Rhodamine.

Back in February, we at Daily Heights reported that a rogue snow plow had taken out a big tree at the corner of Underhill Ave. and Park Place (Pictured: See what city services hath wrought).
Well, now it’s November, and it’s still not fixed. There’s a community meeting tonight where people will discuss solutions to this issue that the city has yet to fix. From the newsletter of the Park Place/Underhill Ave. Block Association:
“Are you Tired of that Sidewalk Eruption on Underhill & Park?
“We will discuss this and create a plan to fix it. If you have any other concerns relating to the quality of life on our blocks, bring them to the meeting. Our association exists to improve the neighborhood.”
Also on the agenda: All about Ratner and You.
What does it take to get the attention of city engineers?
When Danny Met Marty
From Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn.
Outside of the PS 321 polling place in Park Slope on Election Day 2005.
“Marty Markowitz said: ‘Dan, you are the only one who has a legitimate complaint about this project [Ratner’s Atlantic Yards].'”
DAILY HEIGHTS ELECTION RESULT: Split 50/50 between Ferrer and Bloomberg.

“For about $6.00 you get a sizable burger that is charred to near perfection. I also opted for the greasy onion rings for $3.50. The dough was fried nice and crispy while the onion was heated up to release just the right amount of sweetness. Most of the draft beers, except some of the pricier imports like Belgium’s Delirium Tremens (overrated if you ask me), are $3.00.”

sje writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Has anyone else noticed that the wire garbage baskets, usually on every corner, or at least every other corner, are disappearing in Prospect Heights? Is the city trying to save money?”
“If you own dogs like I do, it gets mighty old carrying a bag of stinking fresh shit around for 4 or 5 blocks trying to find a can to throw it in. I don’t like putting it in people’s personal trash cans in front of their houses, but I frequently have no choice.”
“I mostly walk them on Underhill, which is especially barren. What’s going on? How can we get them back? 311?”
daisyh adds: “I’ve been thinking the same thing in Park Slope. There is exactly one public trash can between Flatbush and Union along 6th! What’s the deal? I have a sneaking suspicion that the residents have something to do with it – the cans are too tacky, too declassé for the beautiful Slope…”
