P.S.: It has been brought to my attention that the peeps at he MTA have big plans for the humble G train. That being shutting it down between Bedford Nostrand and Court Square for six whole weekends!
- July 17-19
- July 24-26
- August 7-9
- August 21-23
- September 11-13
- September 25-27
I have little doubt this will work wonders for our local businesses.

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Driggs Avenue
When I saw this rather unconventional mobile home (Replete with teddy bear— or is it a dog? Rather hard to tell.) on Driggs Avenue I simply HAD to go in for a closer look. Not only is this retro-fitted bus equipped with a bed but it also appears to be appointed with some kind of cooler/mini fridge. Sweet!
