From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: An Arrest At 373 Graham Avenue
I just received this update from Deputy Inspector Hurson himself:
We arrested Joseph Loiacono last night for forcible touching (he placed his hands on his female victims genitals). The victim was a friend of his.
Disgusting.
UPDATE, 9:22 p.m.: You can read more about what led up to “Joe’s” arrest by pointing and clicking your way to 373 Scam Avenue. WARNING/CAVEAT: the litany of charges being brought forth are seriously disturbing.
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Raided?

That’s right: today both the police and Department of Sanitation have raided 373 Graham Avenue. The word on the street, I have been told (but await confirmation*), is “Joe” physically and sexually assaulted his girlfriend. This is horrible folks.
Here’s what happened per the Commanding Officer of the 94th Precinct, D.I. Hurson:
We assisted the sanitation dept in removing the garbage he had placed in front of his building. In the past he had given the sanitation dept a hard time they also gave him several summonses today even though he wasn’t present this morning

Or: He’s Baaacck!
Contrary to reports that the police vacated north Brooklyn’s perennial haunted house last Friday, Joe (as he is known) is back. As for how Joe feels about his latest visit from the local constabulary, well, methinks the following missive (as well as the fact he appears to have erected a barricade as seen above) might be an indication.
It is interesting to note that after I took the above photographs a young man exited the apartment on the second floor. He told a neighbor he can no longer abide having Joe as a neighbor (and one would presume: landlord). I found this interesting for a number of reasons. Foremost among them: there is no Certificate of Occupancy for this building.
Yup.
To be continued (no doubt)…

Swinging Sixties Seniors Center
211 Ainslie Street
Brooklyn, New York 11211
On a (somewhat) related note, I have received word the Swinging Sixties Seniors Center is slated for closure January 2013.
Yours truly would like to humbly recommend that the Polish National Home (AKA: The Warsaw) be pressed into service as the new venue for meetings of our local Community Board. Given some of the convocations of this body yours truly has attended in days past, having access to a refreshments of the alcoholic variety would (in my humble opinion, anyway) make these proceedings much more provocative.
