1] I thought I was pretty explicit in differentiating between the Brooklyn Museum and the for profit business Irreplaceable Artifacts. And the mention of that business wasn't to excuse the culpability of its owner from the disaster that occurred there. I mentioned the irony because it was a storehouse of salvaged architectural treasures, which fell prey to the shortsightedness of their own ostensible savior. ********* thats some damm good erudishun 'nd artikulashun

There's a lot to be seen both in the fenced off area and the garden: http://www.flickr.com/photos/franklynch/sets/72057594059536344/ Someone commented on one of my shots that for some of these pieces, chipped on their faces, that storing them face up exposes the stone to more moisture and elements and may lead to an earlier demise. I have no idea how accurate that it.

[Kevin] I don't even have to check with you b/c I know you're on this stuff like frosting on cupcakes. I can only hope to be a pale imitator.

[Lamont bought 2 coffins at an auction and is trying to convince Fred of their worth] Lamont Sanford: C'mon pop, we're gonna make a killin' on these. Fred Sanford: Well then why don't you make two killin's and get them outta here.

waittaminute! Steinberg Family = Irreplacible Artifacts??? lets not gloss over the facts!!! "Ironically, we watched that building knocked down with all of its artifacts inside, after it was deemed structurally unsound and half-collapsed." they willfully demolished a load bearing wall to create a outdoor cafe thing, causing the bldg to partially collapse which also caused the residents of the bldg next door to be evacuated/evcited by the city another example to greed taking precedence to safety and good practice. im sure Dave Hogarty didnt mention that to get some comments going...thanks i took the bait!
