Now At Driggs Pizza: A Vegetarian Delight

This summer I noticed the arrival of this, one of the finest vegetarian pies to be found in our fair city. As you can see it sports the usual suspects, e.g.; olive, mushrooms, tomatoes and (of course) cheese. What you may not be able to ascertain is it sports a couple unusual items as well: asparagus and artichoke hearts! Then as seemingly soon as this culinary delight came— it went. Well, as it would happen I was contacted by the chap designing Driggs Pizza’s new web site recently. I brought my despondency to his attention and he, in turn, brought it to theirs. Thus it came to pass that these kind folks were nice enough to whip me up my very own pie— and bring it back on weekends moving forward! This pie will set you back $4.00 a slice or $24.00 a pie. You have my personal word it is truly worth it. Give it a try!

LAST GASP: A Burglary On Powers Street?

A lady named Samantha writes:

Hey Heather,

Last night at around 4:30 am my girlfriend and I heard someone run screaming down the street. I looked out my bathroom window in time to hear a girl talking to the cops up by Kim’s. She was telling them that a man wearing a tie-dye shirt and jeans broke into her apt at 210 Powers Street (by Humboldt) and had put a bunch of her stuff out on the street when she came home and caught him. She chased him down Powers I guess and onto Graham but lost him there. Do you know anything more about this/whether they caught the guy? Hoping you can also alert the rest of upper Graham Avenue so they can stay vigilant.
Wow, that’s some scary stuff! I do not know any more details about this incident (but I am asking around). If anyone reading this knows more about what happened this morning on Powers Street please share via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks— and like Samantha says: be vigilant folks!
