Those Townhouses on Underhill and Dean
Hey, guess who was just here in the neighborhood?
Brownstoner writes: “We were driving through Prospect Heights on Sunday when we noticed this development of townhouses on Underhill and Dean. They look to be of the same vintage as the ones Ratner built on Fulton in Fort Greene.”
“Does anyone know how and when these came to be built? How about the quality of the interiors? Have any sold in recent memory?”

Academics Overthink Prospect Heights "Lifeworld" (!)
“>crowhiller writes: “There is an article on walking through Prospect Heights in the Nov 1st issue of the very cerebral journal Space & Culture (“Walking, Emotion, and Dwelling: Guided Tours in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.”) The abstract says that it is photography and ethnology, and partially covers ‘residents emotional-phenomenological experience of walks…’ through the “hood, with a “diverse group of residents.”
“Here’s my favorite part from from the abstract: …constructing senses of dwelling and Heideggerian lifeworld.” I went to an Ivy-League school but.. “lifeworld?” I don’t know if that’s academic or hippy … “

About All Those Gunshots on Vanderbilt Ave.: What Really Happened.
Remember about 10 days ago in Prospect Heights? When suddenly there were about 20 gunshots on Vanderbilt Ave. at 7 pm? And then 10 minutes later you checked the Prospect Heights Message Boards? And there was this rapidly evolving thread about a body laying on the ground near Carlton and Dean, and then it turned out that he was Javaughn Higgins, a kid recently indicted in the beating death of a Bangladeshi immigrant? But that Young Master Higgins got out of jail thanks to his mom who paid the bail against her home mortgage? And then it turned out that the kid had just tried to mug a guy for his iPod using a fake gun? And then the police found the guy and opened fire? And that was the story of the gunshots? Well now, here’s the story from the point of view of the guy mugged for his iPod, as told to The New Zealand Herald.

Beware of "Keith", the (Allegedly) Crack-Smoking, (Absolutely) Intimidating Panhandler with Subtle Mugger Overtones
He’s back. Making the rounds last night.
esmits wrote in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “This guy was agressive, not in the way that he just kept talking, or telling stories. He was physically agressive with his body language, verbally agressive too. He threatened me a few times. I thought I was being mugged.”
Who is he? According to your neighbor-in-the-know: “He is known to a lot of PHers as ‘Keith’. He’s notorious for intimidating people for cash. He likes to smoke crack under my stoop. he also has a very pronouced stutter. He’s known to follow people for several blocks.”

Isa in Gothamist!
“Despite her book’s imposing title, 32-year-old Vegan With a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock author Isa Chandra Moskowitz is delightfully funny. A vegetarian since her teens, Moskowitz’s philosophy about food can be summed up by the words ‘cooking is fun.’ Her cookbook features recipes for everything from soup to pizza to tempeh bacon to cupcakes, with little stories interspersed about her introduction to punk rock, growing up in Brooklyn, and running her cable access show Post Punk Kitchen.”
