First, Props: Oh look: According to Corcoran’s Eve Levine, our post on Hipster Mortgage Night and Tenancy in Common got her on the front page of the Times Sunday Style section. Don’t applaud, just take out ads.
Loud and Proud: At Bushwick’s very own esoteric dance space, this writer at Art Fag City comes out of the closet as a triangle-lover. No, literally. She likes triangles a lot.
Now You’re Cookin’: Bushwick’s very own historical “flimflammer” — who is only sort of credited with discovering the North Pole, and who was indicted in a Texas oil scam — has an entire Society dedicated to proving his North Pole firstness.
Handle With Care: The Ridgewood Theater was bought by a local who vows to spend $1.5 million to renovate it, convert the front space to retail, and says there’s a “90% chance” that movies will be shown again in what’s left of the space. I’ll just assume he’s lying and be pleasantly surprised if someone good happens.
The Powder-Wigged Menace: Tired yet of hearing how you will be pushed out of Bushwick in a few years by rich yuppies and their annoying babies? Rest contented in the fact that they will in turn be pushed out by aristocratization.
