Yesterday, the Post reported about a strange and disturbing road rage incident in Red Hook last week. A woman was ultimately repeatedly hit by the driver of a Land Rover.

Reader Christoper sent us a set of photographs from the aftermath of a car accident in Brooklyn, on Atlantic Avenue near the BQE, yesterday. The front of a building is destroyed - with a "Do Not Enter" sign near the front. And an SUV looks crumpled. According to the Post, it turns out that a Bronx man had exited the BQE at 4AM, hit the sign, which was dragged under his car, and then crashed into the "unoccupied" Atlantic Peritoneal Dialysis Home Training Center.

Public hearings tend to be impassioned and last night's Atlantic Yards gathering was no exception. With three community board hearings held simultaneously in different locales, we opted, sans body armor, for the homey confines of Community Board 6 (where we happen to live).

Spring showers bring May flowers and allergies. Now that April is almost finished, we are gearing up for allergy season.

April brings mostly tree pollen to the area through mid-May followed by grasses until mid-July and then weed pollen is more prevalent later in the season, August through October.
