Saturday, July 28, 2007

She can’t go home again

Greene Acres: Our columnist’s old Fort Greene digs — the $750 three-bedroom apartment that she called home a mere four years ago — was one of Brownstoner.com’s “condos of the day” last week. Naturally, she tried to go home again. Comment.

Supershooter to the rescue! Gadfly buzzes work sites

Fort Greene: A self-styled superhero — who keeps her identity as hidden as any good Marvel or DC hero — is going around the neighborhood snapping disposable and cellphone-camera photos of perilous construction practices. All that’s missing is a cape and a utility belt. Comment.
