Hi Heather,
I live on Humboldt and Grand, and my apt was just burglarized on Tuesday during the day. I dunno if it is related to this: http://www.newyorkshitty.com/williamsburg/?p=66597 – but thought it could be possible since it’s right down the street. Whoever broke into my place got away with my stuff though— including my 32” TV, 2 computers, and a whole bag of lingerie I’d just received as a bachelorette party gift!
Before I proceed I want to say I am very relived this woman was not home when this break-in came to pass. She is safe and sound. The previous having been written; a 32 inch television, two computers and lingerie? In the words of Major “King” Kong in Dr. Strangelove:
Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

When I saw the above carriage on Bedford Avenue this afternoon I could not resist photographing it. There was something about its placement I found compelling— and it got me to thinking:
Exactly what would a north Brooklyn fairy godmother use to make a carriage? It’s not exactly like pumpkins are in ample supply.
Well, dear readers, I am still mulling over this question (a 40 ounce bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon or Zwyiec, perhaps?)— but methinks I know what a modern day 11211 Prince Charming looks like if/when he comes to call. In fact, I found him just around the corner!
Miss Heather: Those MTA cut-backs are a real bitch, aren’t they?
My Prince Charming:
Yeah, now they have to wheel me down the street!
Welcome to the Cinderella story of the 21st century, ladies. It is most decidedly not for the weak.
