“Saba, the bodega right outside my apartment, on Underhill between Eastern Parkway and St. John’s next to Sepia, is… umm… dare i say… showing signs of gentrification… About a month ago, they cleaned up the place a bunch, got a nice new counter, and got a grill. Then, last week, they started carrying Odwalla products and Honest Tea. Regardless, it’s a pretty good bodega.”

quijibo writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards:

the next “friends”ian hit tv series will be about…

a lesbian couple who adopt an ecuadorean orphan
who doublepark their strollers at the tea lounge
shop at the food co-op + back to the land
are vegan

and there’s al the window washer guy
this one brooklyn native,
who fancies himself to be mucho mucho street
i mean like streeter than street

al employs a bunch of hispanic men to wash store windows
up and down 5th avenue

and they have these amazingly decorated bicycles
with huge handlebars
festooned with decoration –fulla bling
and wait. do they drink?
yeh. they drink
and they all go to total wine bar for drinks

snootyusher: “I was in a cab on the way home from the airport at about 9:45 PM, and it seems like this parade continued up Flatbush and made a left on Tillary towards the Brooklyn Bridge.”

Stray Voltage on Sterling Place

From the Prospect Heights Message Boards:

jimbo79 writes: “My dog seems to have identified stray voltage in front of 398 Sterling Place. We used to pass that way twice a day on our walks. About a month ago, I noticed would hold back as I approached this spot, and then race ahead as fast as he could, in both cases as far as the length of the leash would allow. I shrugged it off at first but then he became reluctant to even leave the house at walk time. Then I realized he was showing the same behavior that he showed at the Underhill Avenue hot spot in 2004…”

“Back in 2004, this dog exhibited the same behavior, laying back then skipping ahead, each day as we passed a spot on Underhill between Sterling and St. Johns. I thought it was weird that he always did that at the same spot, but didn’t think it was serious. Then one day when there was a lot of melted snow and salt on the sidewalk, my other dog (RIP), who never before had seemed to react, fell over on his side, writhing in pain…”

New Game: GentriConfrontation (TM) !

boardgame.jpgpensodyssey announces in the Prospect Heights Message Boards:

It’s strange! It’s savage! It’s cruel! It’s called… GentriConfrontation ™ !!!

Here’s how you play: all you have to do is see how quickly you can turn any topic into an “anti-gentrification” rant!

Example: Suppose a person posts on where the best place to buy beer is. You could respond sensibly (“The Met on Vanderbilt has really improved its selection”), or you could reply humorously (“I really like the beer at Jackie’s 5th Amendment”). These would be good replies… but if you want to win GentrifiConfrontation ™, you’d have to reply like this:

“Back in the day, you could only get 40’s of OE there. Too bad all the yuppies moved in.”

YOU’VE BEEN GENTRICONFRONTED!! DO NOT PASS SODA, DO NOT COLLECT YOU CRACK VIALS!!!

C’mon everybody! It’s as fun as kids in bars, it’s as free as apartments on
Crazy Lane, and it’s easier than a boycott!!
