“>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.”

chippenziedeutch pontificates: “‘hipster’ is sooo 2003… Nowadays, it’s Whatever-You-Are-Currently-Into + ‘mafia’.”
Examples:
“I went to the Tea Lounge last night, but couldn’t get past the Toddler Mafia.”
“Going to see the Portastatic and John Vanderslice show at Southpaw? It’s sure to be filled to the brim with the Horn-Rimmed Glasses Mafia.”
“I stopped going to Great Lakes once it got overrun by the Hipster Mafia.” [Please note acceptable use of “Hipster” in modern “Mafia” context – Ed]
“I went to 2 Toms for dinner last night. It’s an old standby for the Mafia Mafia.”

Taken outside of the bodega/newsstand near the Q entrance on Flatbush and Park (PH side of Flatbush). The poster is a plea for the guy who found the wallet to please return it to the bodega. The follow-up message says “Thank you 4 the return (smiley face)”.
Faith in humanity, restored.
