Reader Question Of The Week: Thriftless In Williamsburg
John writes:
Do you know where the Hasidic guy moved his glorious warehouse full of shit since leaving Driggs near McCarren? I kinda miss digging through his crap. Since that space is now full of groceries (Khim’s Millennium Market— Ed. Note), it’s not nearly as fun to sift through.
Well, I asked Larry da Junkman (all these guys know each other— I swear there’s some kind of junk shop mafia in this city). The best he could tell me is he relocated his business in Bushwick— off either the Jefferson Street or Dekalb Avenue stop of the L.
Perhaps one of our friends to the south can pin down this location for us? If you know where this business is please share it with us via comments.
Thanks!

When I saw this magnifently wrecked (and quite old) one way sign I simply had to get a picture of it. It hails from Broadway near Lorimer Street.

Has Anyone Seen This Pup?
This week I have seen no less than a dozen of these fliers: once at Morgan Avenue by the Cooper Projects, another time on South 4th Street by the BQE and lastly on Broadway at Hewes Street. If you have seen this adorable pup or know of its whereabouts please contact the owner at the above telephone number. This is little fella is clearly missed.
Thanks.
