Spotted On Banker Street: Something Neat

I had seen someone working on this garage door fairly recently— but quite frankly have not had the time to swing back by and see the finished product. Today I finally did. My advice: go see this for yourself. It’s really lovely!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Mugging On Banker Street?

This item comes via a woman named Camille. She writes:
Hey Heather, just wanted to let you know about a mugging last week.
I don’t know if you post this kind of thing, but I wondered if it might help any readers avoid a similar situation. My boyfriend was mugged last Thursday night at 9 pm on Banker between Meserole and Calyer. Two late teens/early twenties guys approached him for directions, then grabbed him and threatened him with a box cutter. They had a little scuffle and pushed him down to the ground, where he hit his head. They took his wallet and phone. Tall good looking guy in baseball cap (turned backwards) and one short guy with chin-length hair wearing a white doo-rag.
I suppose if anyone saw/heard/knows anything, or found a brown leather wallet (kind of western looking old souvenir with a deer on it), it’d be great to know. The wallet may have been ditched near mccarren park.
Looks like it could be some repeat offenders, from this post on the Brooklyn Paper.
If you find this wallet please contact Camille via email at: camillemcmorrow (at) gmail (dot) com. And oh yeah— be careful out there!
