They had already filled a couple container/dumpsters before someone stepped in.
For those of you who are not in the know, 17 Monitor Street happens to be the old St. Cecilia’s School. A plan has been submitted— but disapproved— to convert this facility into residences. This has been some source of controversy in the community.
When I walked by today nary a Stop Work Order was to be found. Perhaps they got their proverbial ducks in a row? In any case, it is going to be interesting to watch this one unfold…

So today I spent (and continue to spend) cleaning Chez Shitty. We party hard here, I can assure you. In any case earlier this evening I popped out to get a few things. Let’s just say I, clad in flip flops, dirty jeans and a hoodie, felt like a real schlump when I beheld this lady’s get-up.
I inquired as to her head gear. This she made herself. It was so lovely, especially when paired with the scarf (which I have seen for sale at the Polonia Bookstore), I asked her if I could take a photo. As you can see, she gladly obliged. Methinks I’ll have to dust off some fake flowers, my hot glue gun and make my own. In the meantime: Bravo!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: What’s Up At 85 Driggs?
A lady named Hannah writes:
Hey Miss Heather,
Any idea what’s going in the Donia Cafe space? I saw them working on it this weekend.
Since it was downright lovely out I decided to swing by today and see what gives. It would appear that Dobeki, which is located at 199 Grand Street, is opening a second location. Granted, I have only eaten at this establishment once, but it was quite enjoyable (if a mite bit pricey). It’ll be interested to see if this establishment “sticks”. In my recollection this will be the fourth such restaurant to grace this location in the last six years. Hmm…
