Montague gets the green light
Brooklyn Heights: You don’t need a car to enjoy the green lights on Montague Street. Workers hung environmentally friendly decorative lights from the branches of more than 20 Montague Street trees on Earth Day, illuminating the Brooklyn Heights thoroughfare without pulling any energy from the grid. Comment.
Puddling around
DUMBO: DUMBO’s most celebrated puddle has gone dry — and now its chroniclers appear to have dried up, too. Comment.
Wallbanger
Downtown: A man broke into clothing store on Atlantic Avenue by smashing a hole in the sheet rock walls, apparently with a broom handle, on April 18. Plus all the crime news from Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Downtown’s 84th Precinct. Comment.
Comptroller: Let’s sell the House of D
Downtown: Comptroller Bill Thompson has called for the city to sell the Brooklyn House of Detention on Atlantic Avenue, despite a city plan to reopen the jail and double its capacity. Comment.
