Egging Incident

Today someone tried to egg me as I walked up the steps to my house. Luckily they had terrible aim and narrowly missed me but got my steps… The perpetrators were a man and woman on a Vespa or some sort of motorbike, but I did not see their faces or license plate. I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else recently, but does anyone know what to do in this situation? I am unsure if I was targeted for a specific reason or if this was just random.

late night work spots?

does anyone have any recommendations for a spot in park slope/south slope/windsor terrace where I could post up and work until ~9 pm? Open to working at a bar or a restaurant that's chill. I'd actually prefer somewhere I could also grab some food, but I don't want to be rude with my laptop out if it's not the vibe! thank you :)

Advice needed re. cat that lives in store basement

This is a screenshot from a post months ago about the cat called Benji who is apparently kept in the basement of Prospect Market on Prospect Park West. I have been trying to spot him when I walk past but no luck. He used to be someone's pet. He is never let out (this was a rare sighting, it turns out) and lives in the storage area. Do any cat-rescue people have tips for how to go about getting the owner to let him go? I don't want to doxx anyone but I have learned that he is not happy and not doing well. It breaks my heart (I know, so many things to break out hearts, but why not this guy too)?

License plate readers in Windsor Terrace

All data from https://dontgetflocked.com/maps. There is no distinction between brands of cameras on the map, it’s not possible to determine which locations have “flock” brand or another without climbing up the pole it’s on, which is certain to displease NYPD.

2 Cameras at 7th Avenue and 20th street facing both east and west.

At 20 street and McDonald covering the trucks exiting the expressway, very wide coverage maybe multiple cameras.

A camera in the triangular park where McDonald. FtHamilton and Caton meet, facing east down both Ft Hamilton and Caton

There’s a camera on Ocean parkway near Beverly, covering traffic turning left for the expressway.

That’s it.

Burble still burbling

Three big DEP trucks today on Prospect Avenue, and a lot of drilling upstream of the burble. Now a big steel plate over the hole they made. The Burble seems unaffected. There is more sand than before in the clear water. There was also a DEP truck around the corner on 8th Avenue where there is a depression in the road, maybe unrelated. Is this really one of the phantom streams, hitherto trapped, now released?

Volunteer group installed camera & license plate reader FtH and E3rd

Last week a volunteer civilian police force installed a surveillance camera and license plate reader on a private building at the intersection of FtHam and E3rd. It very clearly points at the intersection, flashes red when cars drive by, and appears to cover a wide visual. Council Member Shahana Hanif’s office is investigating, but folks with questions or concerns may still wish to register them with her office at District39@council.nyc.gov or (718) 499-1090.

STOA- BUILD- FUND

Hello neighbors at Windsor Terrace!
I stumbled the pond, an amazing location that cannot be a restaurant or a retail space and needs a special touch. So I am calling upon all Artist to get involved and for anybody with a spark of inspiration and the means to be able to get involved in this local Build.

STOA is an art community (named after the school that Socrates started for his students) and we are looking to build an interactive game space (boardgames) as well as modular studio space for artists, musicians, ceramicist, metal workers, photographers, and filmmakers. Individual artist memberships will be entitled to create their own classes on a weekly basis, which will service the community and included with their membership will be an individual profile on ExhibitIQ through which the artist involved in our initial build will be able to offer equity to those who donate at this early stage or who help found this space.

To explain this is not for the individual use of a single artist rather it is a public resource and utility for all artists in the area to be able to showcase some of their work through STOA and ExhibitIQ as well as to design program programming to augment the authority, robust, cultural footprint of the Windsor Terrace, Neighbourhood. If you would like to know more, please check out the comments or DM me for invitations to the events upcoming on August 19.

Happy to receive your feedback and to help build something wonderful for the community here.

Also, if you would be interested in going in on the space with us, please send us a DM ASAP and we will develop an equitable contract for all parties involved.

The burble

Day 5 (I think). Near 488 Prospect Avenue for any 311 crusaders. They sent me a notification saying the complaint had been closed, no explanation. Yet it flows. I don't know if these is a main break - the water looks very clean. Our very own freshet on the hill.

Selling Thule Chariot Cross Trailer & Stroller (First Gen)

Selling our single seat Thule Chariot Cross Trailer & Stroller (First Gen) for $550. Cash only. We are located in Windsor Terrace off Ft. Hamilton stop.

It has all the original accessories including flag, rear light, and weather related add-ons. It also comes with some additional items such as extra Thule seat padding, an additional rear axle mount (basically if you have two bikes you can set it up for both) and random camping light for the roof.

I do not have the original physical manual, but it is online and there's not much to operating it.

Used regularly, but always stored indoors. Some cosmetic scuffs and small marks from normal use, but nothing broken and works as great as the day we got it.

It's a pretty awesome setup with a lot of perks. Easy to convert from push stroller to bike trailer. Lots of cargo space. Lots of weather protection for both hot and cold days. Lots of pockets inside for snacks and toys.

As you can see in pictures it can fold up for storage. My 3 year old is standing next to it for some sense of scale.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. It's a great addition if you have a kid and love biking. We're only getting rid of it, because our kids have outgrown it.

Free Chaise Lounge Chair for pick-up

Anyone in the neighborhood want a free chaise lounge chair? The local buy nothing group never responded to our join request, but would love for it to go to someone in the neighborhood who will make use of it.

53" L x 38" W x 31" H. Very comfortable and the upholstery is in excellent condition. One of the back legs is loose but very fixable; we just never bothered because the chair was too big for our space.

Note: it is from a house with both a cat and dog. We keep it very clean and there shouldn't be any animal hair, but there could be some leftover dander in the cushions.

Pick-up on Court St. and 3rd Place
