Getting inspiration from the Ghost Bikes around town, a 26-year-old female artist has hung a handmade sign on the corner of Meserole and Humboldt in Brooklyn. This is her first piece of street art, and it reads: "A woman was raped by a stranger on this block. Please protect your friends, lover, sister, daughter, mother, grandmother, niece, cousin, neighbor, the woman you hear call for help late one night. 1 in 6 women in......

Photo via A Fine Blog. Something was lost in translation when a Turkish shop owner went to name his market on 84th and York Avenue. A Fine Blog reports that "he believed that it was something positive that he was saying...like 'not bad.'" U Don't Know Nothing Produce is a much more inspired name than Not Bad Produce, however, so maybe this was a happy accident after all.......

After reviewing a new design that one commissioner promised would “rival the Tate,” the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved revised plans for a massive residential and retail development at the disused Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg. One bit of good news is that the iconic Domino sign, which had been missing from previous designs, is now preserved. Brownstoner was liveblogging the hearing and reports that LPC chairman Robert Tierney called it a "brilliant adaptive plan."......

It's hipsters versus nature now in Brooklyn; according to this sign that was sent in to us, deer are running rampant in the borough. This was spotted on the corner of Lorimer and Metropolitan, and word is there is also a dinosaur crossing territory as well. First comes gentrification (and allegedy They Might Be Giants), then come the animals. What's been crossing the streets in your neighborhood?......

A shoe boutique on Long Island is causing some controversy with their Sex and the City signage. Newsday reports that Steven Dann, owner of the shop in Great Neck Plaza, is offering items seen in the movie -- shoes, belts and bags with hefty price tags reaching the $4,000 range. Cashing in on the movie is fine, but he placed a sign in his window that read: "Who's having sex in this city? Either way......

Photo via Ricky Van Veen Looks like store owners have started keeping tabs on how many pesky students are in their shop at one time. At the very least they're using scare tactics with printed out signs to let the lil' rascals know to keep it to a minimum. Sorry number 5, you're out in the cold. The question is: does this include NYU students, or just high school punks?......

While Anytime in Williamsburg isn't actually open at any time, their doors swing freely when a hipster craves a jalepeño popper just before sunrise. So news of their possible demise is sending panic to those who crave post-imbibing tater tots and stormy night cigarette deliveries. Word is that "in the past few days, the familiar Anytime sign has been removed and replaced by an even more-familiar 'Commercial Space for Rent / Capri Jet Realty Corp'......

Photo by Jack McFadden. This photo, taken on 5th & Union, pretty much sums up the war going on in Brooklyn. The fictional (but not really) "Slope Trail" includes a doggie bakery, luxury condos, a gentrified playground and spot to procure pricey Brooklyn T's. Everything you'd expect on an urban hike. The stencil even includes a "controversial" stroller being pushed by a parent (or nanny!) who is clearly holding a Starbucks coffee. We just......
