I love that you "don't know" if the clock is keeping the right time yet. What kind of reporters are you? Pick up a phone — or better yet, pick up The Brooklyn Paper, where our readers are well aware that the clock is still not fixed.
That's why we call it the "four-faced liar."

Gersh, thanks for the heads up regarding the continued lack of timeliness of the WSB clock tower. The mention of it not keeping time was in reference to its well-known problems in that arena, but we weren't positive about its current functionality since it's just undergone an extensive renovation. We'll keep reading the Brooklyn Paper to keep up to date with the times.
