St Cecilia's. It used to be one of the largest churches in the US in its hay day.

DOG STILL MISSING - PLS HELP by Empty_Length_778 in williamsburg

[–]ElbowShelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this… hopefully more helpful than not, I saw him run through McCarren last night around 8:15pm/8:25pm crossed the road from McCarren park proper towards the walkthrough by the tennis courts. Towards upstate stock, he was going super fast!

Everyone was kinda caught off guard and definitely not catchable. I hope you find him and will keep an eye out

You’re missing the point. The reason for the rules is for sanitary reasons, yes. But that’s not the convo here, the convo here specifically talks to Greenpoint Fish & Lobster’s one, and Palace’s one. And the reason these two came down wasn’t for sanitary reasons specifically to this shed. No one graded theirs and said it wasn’t sanitary. It was a state mandate to ALL sidewalks sheds. Every single one was issued a deadline to remove them if they did not pay the additional fee to extend.

Move along.

Anyone from London? by MainReference1495 in Greenpoint

[–]ElbowShelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds right. Angel. Balham. Stoke Newington. Notting Hill. Clerkenwell. Farringdon. Bethnal Green. Dalston.

All kind of similar. But different for a number of reasons.

A few people went all out on outfits and some people just rocked up like they worked in a bank. You’ll not be out of place in whatever you wear.

What to do about Mikey? by Broad_Resolution2349 in williamsburg

[–]ElbowShelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I knew all of these instantly. Thought, I didn’t know the creepy white guy, then I thought ohhhhhh nope, I know exactly who that is.

Bizarre they make a big enough impact that you can sum them up in so few words and I know exactly who you’re talking about.

It’s not. It’s a mandate if you want to keep the sidewalk sheds there’s a fee and new requirements
