Those of you who have been wondering what is set to grace this store front will be happy to know today I got the scoop! It is going to be a coffee shop. The wisdom of open such an establishment a mere two doors away from Cafecito Bogota remains to be seen— but I wish them luck!

Just wanted to send you our flyer and brief info for our Halloween Party this Sunday, October 31st, in case you’d like to post it on your site.  We are going for a clown theme this year (kinda spinning off last year’s freak show) and decorations should be up beginning Friday.  The costume contest will be held Sunday, first prize being awarded $100 and runner up wins $50.  Judging will take place at midnight.  Drunkenness will take place all night long!  If you are in the hood, stop on by.  Otherwise, Happy Halloween!

Right back at ya!

Great Moments In Abjectecture: Manhattan Avenue Edition

It has been a long, long time since I have literally stopped in my tracks and murmured:

God, that building is really ugly.

I honestly thought I was getting jaded. Then I walked by 602 Manhattan Avenue this afternoon and got my religion back.

God, that building is really ugly.

Congratulations, Francis Albert Construction and Philip Toscano, “Architect” for keeping it real. Ugly, that it is.*

*I would be lying if I didn’t say I found the “everything from the Neoclassical close-out bin at Home Depot” school of exterior decoration strangely seductive. I do.

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Larry!

It would appear he has chosen to stay with us… at least for the time being! The above photograph was taken this afternoon after Larry saw fit to torment some nearby pigeons. I can personally attest as a witness on the scene that they were totally asking for it.
