Sauntering Through the Slope

April 26 PM Walk
After three previous days of rather paltry walks, I promised Chester that we would check out Prospect Park and some of Park Slope. We knew that uncomissioned street art would be largely unavailable. But we were pleasantly surprised to end up walking down Garfield Place and stumbled upon the bubblegum brownstone. Having read about this Park Slope curiosity months ago, Chester and I felt a sense of pride in having found the location of note. Check out a brief excerpt here http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/22/park_slope_brow.php

I suggested, and Chester agreed, that this indeed qualified as Street Art rather than Graffiti. Although I'm not so sure that this guy's neighbors (and property owners) feel it's art rather than a travesty to property value. However you label it, it was a nice surprise for us on this walk, and a nice shot of personality to a sometimes uptight and pretentous neighborhood.

Nic pics neighbor. Birgitte and I walked past the pink house a couple weeks ago. I can only imagine the thoughts of some neighbors when the first brush strokes went up. And the rationalization--"no, I think it makes the street special, dear." I like it...but maybe that's because I don't live next to it.

When you know the documents needed to process the loan application,
you will speed up the process time even more. For instance, you should never buy more of a home than you can
afford - even if you believe you'll be able to afford it more easily in the future. The payday loan lenders almost hope that you can't meet the
first payment so that you start accruing interest rates that are extremely high.

There are numerous expenses that can't be neglected when you are running short of cash. Then you will have to wait until the cash advance loan company verifies all the information that you faxed to them. The first things you'll want to pay each month before anything else are the necessities--food, housing and utilities.

Back on the issue of student budgets, any students you know that are crying out
for a replacement for their creaky old Pentium
III laptop would surely benefit from having that portable radiator replaced with something fast, slick and functional.
However, as of this writing, the Kindle Fire only costs two hundred bucks.
