Here is an article about the twittering Bronx Zoo Cobra! Apparently, he twitters from Downtown Brooklyn, about a block away from Duffield Street.

The Scaffold Comes Down and the Stoop Repair Begins
The scaffold came down yesterday, revealing a dusty but strong brick facade. The stoop is now being repaired.

The Two "Misses" of Brooklyn and Manhattan?
This is a picture of the proposed statue for Tillary and Flatbush Avenue Extension. At 25 feet high, it will probably be in full view of my back porch. I'm not terribly opposed to this, but wonder about the names of of the two seated "Misses," "Miss Brooklyn" and "Miss Manhattan." It smacks of beauty pageant, if you ask me. I suppose I was hoping for something more architecturally imposing for the "Gateway to the Borough." I was thinking of a more modern version of what's on the Manhattan side of the Manhattan Bridge.
