LAST GASP: Reader Comment of the Week
(Or, Brooklyn Night Bazaar, Revisited)
michellemarye writes in regards to my previous post:
Here’s some more info about the event – http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bkbazaar/brooklyn-night-bazaar
Yes, it would appear despite making overtures to our local Community Board that Aaron Broudo is bent on making his dream a reality. In the meantime, here is the reality of West Street.
And here is 27 West Street. As best as I can deduce it. There is no way to tell.
This pile of rubbish has been here for months. Possibly over a year. I have honestly lost track. Now imagine how several thousand party-goers will contribute to this problem, the burden this will place on our police department; angry neighbors (believe you me they will be calling 911) and the fact Mr. Broudo’s “backers” are no one I know from the neighborhood. Hell, he does not even state my neighborhood, Greenpoint, by name on his “Kickstarter” page (you learn that from his video). This stretch of land on our waterfront merely is (and I quote):
…an ideal outdoor location – a large 100,000 square foot industrial lot on Brooklyn’s East River overlooking a striking skyline of Manhattan.

Lost On Oak Street: Fedora
I spied this flier today while strolling along West Street this afternoon. If anyone reading this has seen Fedora or knows of her whereabouts please contact her person, Gabriela, at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Bazaar on West Street?
This item was forwarded to me by a buddy on the Community Board 1 email list. Although Mr. Broudo has been advised by Chairman Olechokowski that Community Board 1 has no oversight over such matters (and he would have to seek permits for this series of events through the appropriate city agencies) it is my understanding he is interested in community feedback. Whether or not he will sign up to speak at the end of next week’s meeting remains to be determined. Personally I hope he does. A series of events of this size, if not carefully planned, could prove to be a colossal nuisance to the surrounding community. Then again, maybe it wouldn’t be? I guess we’ll have to wait until next week’s meeting!
