Apple Store Coming To Brooklyn? [NO]

An Apple Store Grows in Brooklyn from Marty Markowitz on Vimeo.

Dear Steve Jobs,

I'm very, very, very sorry for this ridiculous video...people in Brooklyn usually make way better shit than this.

Can we get an Apple store anyway?

Love,

FIPS

Beastly Bite(s): I Hate You

You know, I seriously did TRY to avoid having to blog about these mofos...I swear. I gave them time to right their wrongs, to not act like whiny bitches, and to give me MY MOTHERFUCKING MONEY BACK.

But after this week long game of cat and mouse (no pun intended), I'm totally fucking over it. So here it is, folks: Beatly Bite(s) sucks a dick.

Another Reason to Leave/Love Park Slope [Red Hook]

...Because going to very nearby Red Hook is like getting out of town for the day.

The Harbor alone is worth the trip—the incredible beauty and peace of just hanging by the Pier, watching the tugs, listening to the clanging of the buoy, Lady Liberty majestically hanging there with you, as you ponder why the hell you don’t live HERE (because there’s  no mass fucking transit) instead of where you DO live.

MATTER IS CLOSING [ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST]

A sign on their door reads:

Dear Friends of Matter,

After six years here we have decided to close up shop in Park Slope to focus more of our energy on developing the Matter Made collection. Our Manhattan location will remain open and there are future plans for an expansion to include many of the great products you've come to love from our store.

Our entire Brooklyn inventory is now on sale for 15 - 90% off. Check back often as discounts will increase leading up to our closing at the end of March.

There are no words to express the deep gratitude we have for your loyalty and patronage over the years.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Manhattan.

Son of a bitch! I loved this friggin store!

As we all know, everything at Atlantic Terminal is totally fucked up and sucky (except for the fact that there are 9,000 subway lines there and the LIRR).

Anyway.

It's no surprise, that literally decades after they began the work, the new LIRR terminal just opened up--and despite the fact that its kind of nice-ish inside, outside its ugly as fuck. Why you ask?
