Also, two of my favopurite movies were recorded there: "Blue in the face" and....gang!, I forgot the name of the other movie but they are both written by Paul Auster. My favourite author.

I've lived on LI since 1969 and am planning The Big Move to Brooklyn next year, and I'm Very Excited. I just hope I can afford it! It's not even so much the rents as the credit checks! I read all these CraigsList apartment postings and they say things like, "Rent $1600 - must make 60 times that in annual salary" - SHEESH! Am I totally out of touch with reality, or is it reasonable to expect that someone who makes $96,000/year (which I do NOT!) would live in a $1600/month apartment??Fashion Schlubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955119552327945874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-86697045282589439702008-08-20T11:29:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:29:00.000-04:00Bloomberg wants the riff raff out of town.

Much has become rather desirable, which good schools, awesome restaurants, little boutiques and pretty neighborhoods.<BR/><BR/>There's much less traffic out here, and you get more space for your rent money. Well, relatively more space!<BR/><BR/>Hi Curly<BR/>I'm saddened that photographers' rights are being threatened by the fear of sexual predators, and hope the issue finds resolution soon. Very good luck to your cause.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-71433462993641422782008-08-20T07:12:00.000-04:002008-08-20T07:12:00.000-04:00Hi from South Shields, nice picture you have here ...Hi from South Shields, nice picture you have here today Kitty.<BR/><BR/>I need your support, see my latest post at <A HREF="http://southshieldsdailyphoto.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">South Shields Daily Photo</A><BR/><BR/>Photographers rights in the UK and worldwide are under increasing threat and we need to make a stand now!<BR/><BR/>Unless something changes dramatically, this will be the last ever post at South Shields Daily Photo.Curlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795795668889685782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-9872771018306141332008-08-20T06:13:00.000-04:002008-08-20T06:13:00.000-04:00I was always under the impression that Brooklyn wa...I was always under the impression that Brooklyn was a rough area?
