I think they are selling a little more than ice cream (wink wink) if you know what i mean. What ice cream truck circles the neighborhood until 2 in the morning?
Those are classy ice cream trucks! If they are selling a little something something on the side, as Angela suggests, then they are truly perfect. A one stop mobile shop for all your fixes!
Mitzi, I agree that we should be absolutely literal about everything always. Even ice cream is a deadly serious issue. This post should have been killed for it’s non-absolute Bushwick exclusivity.
Ah, but in what other borough is the ice cream truck so central a feature of life, continuously circling the neighborhood until the wee hours of the morning? Also, what the heck is in that probably not-really ice cream? Surely not milk. Maybe partially hydrogenated oil — which, as you may recall, Bloomburg also banned earlier this year.
Mike is a good mayor. I wonder what we’re going to get next… we’re heading to dark times in NYC. All our money is a slush fund for upstate. The city should secede.
Aw, Dresden, that’s what democracy is: form a political entity and then the majority tax and regulate the minority. Besides, you got Vito Lopez spending your money on inanities — he’s not the type to leave any for the hicks upstate.
As long as my 14.5% increased water bill ends up allowing some horny corrupt bastard a young piece of ass, I’ll rest easy knowing full well what makes the world go around.
i rode my bike past ice cream truck headquarters a few weeks ago, and now realize why there is always a constant parade of these trucks going down in front of my windows on morgan ave.
i’ve seen “ghetto beat” ice cream trucks a-plenty ’round here. they make me happy. i also like the ones that “honk honk honk”… today i ordered a twist cone from a deitch projects truck, though i didn’t realize it was a deitch projects truck until i already ordered. when it came out, there was no effing vanilla in that twist. the guy apologized but i really didn’t care. ice cream is ice cream is ice cream.
I saw the “Hello” ghetto beat ice cream truck rolling down Knickerbocker yesterday. Totally made my day. Too bad I wasn’t carrying my camera (I had my dog with me). Would have made for a great part 2!

Brooklyn Paper Lifts Story, Adds Lameness It's hard to ignore the similarities between the Brooklyn Paper's recent story on The Loom, which more or less lifts the one we ran two weeks ago and changes the words and paragraph order and adds typical mentions of gentrification...
Bushwick Culture Weekly Picks 7/2/09 The 4th of July snuck up on me... It's suddenly summerish (about damn time), so get out there and celebrate independence day! My very informal research (methodology: I asked everyone I come into contact with yesterday and this morning) indicates that a lot of people are getting out of here for the long weekend...
Boogie Boarder: Pure Lo-Fi Summer Fun The great thing about Brooklyn is that there are always a lot of awesome local tunes around to help make summer a splash. Leading the pack this season is Bushwick's own Boogie Boarder.

Bushwick Apartment Roundup 7/1/09 This week, we listed all the inexpensive stuff by the Wilson Avenue stop on the L train. This area is quiet, but on the train it's a quick trip to the fun part of Bushwick and 25 mins to Union Square.

Bushwick Apartment Roundup 6/23/09 This week, we listed some three-bedroom apartments that caught out eye around the neighborhood, from historic and lovely to new and sleek.
Have you heard the ice cream trucks with that same tune, but after it says, “Hello?”. They were around last summer.
The “Hello?” one parks outside Ctown/the laundry mat on Hart St every afternoon. Very annoying.

I live on Melrose and that goes by a bunch of times a night… 9, 10, 11pm I guess kids need their treats before bedtime…
I think it’d be a lot cooler, if the dude was freestyling thru the speaker.

How is this Bushwick style? They are the same with a few variations all over NYC…

Christ, lighten up.
Recently the mayor made it illegal for them to sit in one spot and play that again and again…
at least someone listens to those of us who don’t live on Fifth motherfucking Avenue.
Thank you Mike!!!!

Mitzi, you read my mind…
Mopar - Long Island City. Just one other one.

“Ghetto beat” strikes me as offensive. Yes, me.
How about tragically lacking?
