-- Can a man who wears white socks with penny loafers really be considered "the most comely professor in town"?
-- A sad story about the state of privately-operated homeless shelters: "bedbugs the size of roaches."
-- Yikes: the head of CUNY is going to make $395k per year! He better be grading a lot of papers!
-- Is this the ugliest housing in all of New York, or just in Red Hook? You be the judge.
-- Park Slope: it's about more than crying babies and overpriced restaurants: "I heard them moaning and 'STUFF'."
-- Should lawyers be allowed to blog?
-- Like our mother always told us: when you're working on a scaffolding 48 stories above midtown, don't forget to wear your safety ropes.
-- The alleged perpetrator in the Nicole DuFresne LES slaying is still playing the crazy card: the judge had him removed from the trial yesterday.

    Ugliest? Nope. The 6-story condos that are going up in Sheepshead Bay along Ocean Avenue are the ugliest buildings in Brooklyn.

    Those Red Hook specials are known as "Fedder houses" (reference to the ugly A/C units).

  • Junk like that is appearing all over town, not just Red Hook. Perfectly good buildings are being demolished to make room for krapp like this. Yet our development-happy mayor and developer-supported politicians say and do nada.

    Ugliest? how about most-poorly-planned-eyesore. What's with the city planning board that allows this junk to be built? Low cost housing does not have to be low cost.
