Quicklink: A Timely New York Times Editorial

It was recently brought to my attention by a buddy of mine at Joe Lentol’s office that legislation has been brought forward by State Senator Liz Krueger and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried to end the nuisance that are illegal hotels in our city (such as the now defunct Luxe Guesthouse which operated at 184 Eagle Street right here in the Garden Spot and can be seen at left) once and for all. What’s more, the New York Times has seen fit to print a pretty good editorial supporting this legislation. Please give this item a read and, if you agree, take a moment to make our Governor aware that you do not support residential apartments— especially those in rent stabilized buildings— being pressed into service as transient housing. Housing in New York City should be for New Yorkers, not tourists.

Thanks!

Spotted On Graham Avenue: The Grout Man

I’m not 100% certain why I find this so intriguing (methinks it might be the fact the hand is employing a bottle opener) but here it is. Got dirty grout? Here’s your man. What’s more, you get 20% off through July 18!

When I saw this parked in front of Boneshakers today I simply had to pass it along here. Genius. Sheer genius.
