Only In New York: Capture the Flag in Williamsburg

2005_06_ctf.jpg

From the people who brought you Manhunt! DUMBO" comes Capture the Flag Brooklyn. Their invitation is appealing:

Run along the streets of old Brooklyn, treading cobblestones and trolley tracks. Outwit opponents, hiding around warehouse corners before you find their flag, outmaneuver their flag keeper and dash home for a point in the pulse-quickening game of urban capture. Defend your territory with its view of the Manhattan skyline, tagging trespassers and sending them to jail. Manhunt has been wonderful; come capture the flag for a night of summer joy. The streets are your playground, reclaim them!
The game convenes at Bedford Avenue and North 8th at 8PM tonight, rain or shine.

Eric McGregor joined in the Manhunt! DUMBO fun and had a ball.

you, sir, are a jackanapes

had to look that one up - well done!

Come on. Everyone knows that Williamsburgers, given the chance, would move back to the city in a heartbeat if rents were more affordable on the LES or EV. W'burg is only W'burg because of its proximity to those neighborhoods.

Ollie and Reality, you are my heros! Brooklynites, name ONE REASON to live in your suburb other than more affordable housing. Do you think it's just "by chance" that the L Train has problems occasionally on weekends?
