Vertuccio’s Pizza installed a neon sign today, next to their spy cam, right across from the Green Dome garden. It is time for them to take both down and leave.
My knee jerk reaction to this (after cringing, that is) was to check the Department of Buildings to see if they has a permit for this sign. Sure enough, they do. What I found particularly intriguing was this passage in said permit:
Not knowing offhand about how big McCarren Park is, I decided to consult Google Maps. Vertuccio’s location (232 North 12 Street) is indicated with an “A”.

For those of you who are not in the know an acre is 43,560 square feet. Hmm…

Spotted On Wythe Avenue: Cheap Books, CDS & More!
If there is one upshot to gentrification in north Brooklyn as I see it, it is this: at long last we have a decent selection of book stores. I mention this because I am a voracious reader and was absolutely filled with glee when I stumbled upon the following on Wythe Avenue.
It may not be labeled, but this establishment is called Pop Fuzz. The very helpful lady behind the counter told me they have been open since last weekend and for the next few (3-4) weeks they will be having a sale book worms, tape heads and music mavens cannot refuse!
- All books $1.00 each or six for $5.00
- All compact discs $1.00 each or six for $5.00
- All VHS tapes $1.00 each or six for $5.00
Sound too good to be true? Don’t take my word for it: go there and see for yourself!
