No drinks for me AJ, I'm just not into Finnish wine or whatever it was they had up there.  I wish I could take my moms advice too but I don't. I think the quality may be overrated in this economy. Why should I spend $1200 large on a baby crib that will only last me a year, 2 years tops, then it sits in the garage for x amount of years? I would rather spend $120 use it for a year then using the power of adapted reuse/magic turn it into a giant wooden flower for the wall. I honestly and truly don't care about the small little furniture stores or their owners in Brooklyn. I'm surprised you even bring that up because many of those places are at the forefront of labor exploitation often taking advantage of their workers, many of which have no defense because they are often undocumented aka exploitable. Not to mention many of the clients that buy from them. Also in my case, the small little furniture guy you tacitly defend just happened to be a major arms dealer in my old hood. Knickerboxer and DeKalb. He use to sell to the I-Tie's that still had "Cafes" and the one "Social Club" on Hart St. He would also sell to other more organize groups in the middle east which I always found Ironic because it seemingly worked against his personal Zionist politics. Anyway my heart doesn't bleed for those guys often crooks. Oh I hope you meant those guys and not West Elm (crap but I do occasionally buy sale items from them) or Bo Concept because those place are kind of butt. Bo is over priced shitty Ikea wanna be caricature of Scandinavian design. A Pox on their house! As for where Ikea sits, I would rather spend my money on cheap furniture then spend another Trillion dollars on a war machine bent on killing. A War machine that is often killing innocent people already farked by their farked up government. If swiss meatballs replace cannon balls, I'm fine with that. Hey BB, you can't base all small furniture stores on the one of your childhood that sold weapons to the mob. But you are right about the opportunity to exploit at small businesses. But big businesses exploit laborers just as much, Ikea is exploiting American customers everyday for their crap they probably can't sell in Europe. Small businesses and big businesses all suck in there own special way. As for the Air craft building site, I'd definately like it to remain defunct and never have a weapon of death built again, but it is a little disrespectful to the people who dedicated their lives to the war and fought for the "Free World." I will probably check it out anyway, maybe buy somethin I don't need. |

I used to go out to the waterfront on my breaks from hell at Fairway, I used to smoke a doobie and look at the old sugar refinery that they recently demolished to make way for luxery housing. BTW Did you know that Fairway- Red Hook only allows the employees to shop on Thursdays? I think it will be awesome when everything everywhere is exactly the same.
Everybody should f*ck everybody until we're all the same. |

Yea, before it was "global" it was "colonial" I don't think critique's of the current trendy "Globe sameness" world is fit without a base understanding of colonialism by the United States in places like Puerto Rico, Hawai'i, Cuba, DR, etc... That said the die is cast, Globalism is alive and well but I'm not sure where who's court the ball will end up in. Just be happy you saved a buck... |

But of course you've never seen the sunset at redhook. I'll take the sunset view from The Wharf, Gil Hodges or Marine Park Bridge over Red Hook any day of the week.

Everything will be cookie cutter before you know it...
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
