From The New York Shitty Inbox: Stolen On Huron Street

A fellow named Michael writes:

Hey Heather,

Love the blog, as always. Sadly I have another stolen bike post. I was wondering if you could help my wife out by posting something on your blog.

My wife woke up to a stolen bike this morning. Her green 3rd Ward NYCBike was stolen last night/early this morning on Huron Street between Manhattan and Franklin.  The bike had a brown wicker basket, old-school Brooks saddle and NYC Street Memorial placard in the spokes. A pic is attached (pre-Brooks saddle). Contact Lindsay.Illion@gmail.com with any info.

Thanks again for any help.

If any north ‘Pointers have seen this bike or know of its whereabouts please contact its rightful owner at the above-listed email address. Thanks!

Hi there Miss Heather-

Any idea whats going to be built on the corner of Eagle and Franklin?

Looks like some new restaurant or something might be going in there.

Thanks!

Per the very nice fellow working on said property today 75 Eagle Street will be (and I quote) “a sandwich shop with some groceries”. Given how long this storefront has been vacant and its proximity to Barge Park this could be a very good development! In any case, I left my business card in the hope the owner of this establishment will contact me. Let’s see…

Sandwich Shop/Grocery Store
Opening Date: Unknown
75 Eagle Street
Brooklyn, New York 11222

P.S.: While I am on the subject of foodstuffs, today I got word that 172 Norman Avenue (as seen above) is going to be a pizzeria. Per the very nice men working there it should be up and running in “about three months”. So there have you!
