DAILYHEIGHTS: Now Internationally Known for Free Kitten Giveaways [UPDATED-Now with Corporate Mission Statement!]
“Where can I find free kittens?” you may be asking yourself. Good question. As of right now, DAILYHEIGHTS is the seventh most popular place on the Internet to find free kittens.
This is especially remarkable because–if you’re new–this site has nothing to do with kitten giveaways. But that doesn’t matter, because finally, DAILYHEIGHTS has a Corporate Mission Statement: “To become the #1 Internet destination for free kittens, without actually giving away kittens, talking about kittens, or posting any free-kitten-related content.”

NEW TOY: GO PLAY
WikiHeights. This is a website about Prospect Heights that everybody (including you) can write and edit. You can start your own page. You can even make a link to a page that doesn’t exist yet (so you or somebody else can create it later). To learn about how this works, click on the Help page. But it’s pretty simple–you can just click on the “edit” tab and start typing. You’ll figure it out.
DAILYHEIGHTS Expands Global Reach; Will Solve Problems for Food
DAILYHEIGHTS is now serving as Moderator of the District 35 Community Gazette over at GothamGazette.com, a non-profit NYC news and policy website published by the Citizens Union Foundation of New York.
District 35 is shaped like a big boot, stretching from Metrotech and the Navy Yards, down through Prospect Heights, and out to Schenectady Ave. So Prospect Heights is in the heart of the district. Or heel? Actually, more like shin. Whatever.
The Community Gazettes are supposed to be like little local newspapers, created and read by people like you. Some of you have already discovered the site and posted there, but in case you haven’t, the Community Gazettes are “an effort at creating an online community for people who care about their own neighborhoods … we traffic in issues, and look to solve problems.”
So, what’s bugging you? Go vent:
-Upload a photo.
-Repost an entire newspaper article. Verbatim. (They, uh, assure me that local newspapers are cool with this practice.)
-Create a “Fix It” report on a pothole, broken traffic light, graffiti, etc. and discover entirely new and interactive ways of being ignored.
-Post ideas, comments or “general gripes” in the Community Views section.
-Add links to community resources.
-More! (Too lazy to list the rest.)
Broken Things Now Fixed; Fixed Things Now Broken
This site is like a Three Stooges routine: When Curly patches up the pipe leak here, water starts squirting out over there. When he patches up the pipe over there, the pipe springs another leak and he gets sprayed in the face. Then Moe comes over and whacks him on the head.
The problem of the moment is inaccurate comment counts. Any Movable Type gurus out there? It would be great to know why some of the Category Archives pages don’t accurately report the number of comments (see Marty Reads Script, Then Splits entry on the Ratner Category page), while other pages seem to be fine (i.e. the Bars and Nightlife page).

UPDATE: The comments pages are now readable. “Recent Comments” are activated. What else?

Question: Are there enough hours in a day to lead a normal life AND continually update Daily Heights?
Answer: No. As it turns out, there’s not.
With your help, however, Daily Heights can be even more exciting tomorrow than it is today. If you have a digital camera and you happen to work, live or walk near any of the following buildings, could you send in a picture or two?
1. 460 Prospect Pl. btw Grand and Classon
2. 829 Dean St. btw Washington and Grand3. 628 Bergen St. btw Vanderbilt and Carlton4. 977 Bergen St. btw Franklin and Bedford
Daily Heights says THANK YOU to Stunner Donation
Stacey on Underhill shocked and stunned us with a substantial donation of money made though the PayPal link (over there on the right). Let’s hope this is part of a continuing trend (hint, hint). Stacey, your donation kicks off the campaign for the first-ever DH Prospect Heights get-together, location TBA, date TBA, event TBA (though it’s pretty clear the East Coast could use its own competitive Rock, Paper, Scissors league).
Speaking of get-togethers, Stacey wants to plan a meet-the-neighbors Block Party, maybe sometime in the middle to end of June, and she’s already got Salsa band lined up! If you want to help Stacey plan for a block party, maybe you can go start a topic on the ProHo message boards.
PS. Thanks to NUMBER ONE MONEY MAN for the James Dean Hell Bank Note.
