Brooklynian

I'm moving into a a parlor-level apartment in Park Slope and need to hire a couple of people to unload a 16-foot moving truck.

The anticipated date is Sunday, May 27, probably in the afternoon.

I expect it would take 2 people an hour or two. There isn't much furniture -- mostly boxes.

Does anyone have any recommendations for people in the neighborhood who might be available?

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a resource to find summer jobs for teens in Brooklyn? Thanks!!

There have been threads on this in the past but none of the suggestions have quite worked out for me. Just checking to see if anyone has new recommendations for an acupuncturist in walking distance in PH.
Thanks!

Could be.....

Nosy people may have noticed that the long dormant site of Sunshine Grocery (located at 780 Washington, at the NE corner of Washington and Sterling) is being renovated.

One then realizes that an LLC "780 Washington Ave" was recently created.

One then googles the legal address of the LLC, 620 Vanderbilt Ave.

One then realizes that is the address of Milk Bar. A thriving, nearby cafe.

One then looks into the window to watch the construction workers and says "whoa, it does look like they could be building a mid size restaurant".

I liked the food but the service was flaw-star.

Former President Jimmy Carter was recently quoted as saying that the Democratic Party has been hurt at the polls for its vehement pro-choice views on abortion.
The issue hurts the Party with liberal Catholics and Latino voters who otherwise may vote Democratic. President Carter also, concluded that he "Could never believe that Jesus Christ would support abortion."
The Democratic Platform currently contains language to allow taxpayer funding of abortion. National polls have consistently demonstrated that most Americans do not support the government paying for abortion. In fact, a February 2012 Quinnipiac University poll (national sample of 2,605 registered voters, margin of error
±1.9 percentage points) found that nearly thirty percent of Americans would not vote for a candidate with whom they disagreed on abortion but agreed on other issues. The Democratic Platform language should be inclusive and endorse the views of all Democrats.
This will resurrect the Blue Dog Democrat in the South and Southwest enabling us to have a solid majority in the Congress. Remember, it was the Democratic Party that gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and a living wage...

Did anyone else see the abandoned black SUV that was just sitting in the middle of the intersection--windows down, hazard lights on, but not a driver or passenger, or any other car around it to signify any accident having happened?

It was just sitting in the middle of Flatbush and Prospect place friday night around 1130--a total hazard, and weird. I called 911, and they said that they would send cops...waited around for about 15mins, and no cops arrived, so I walked on home...but did anyone else see this, or know what exactly happened?

Greetings!
