Somebody complained about the Garden Greens awning because it had pictures of pot leaves. It's actually not against any law though, signage can have pictures of the plant, but apparently no words like weed, marijuana, etc. I'm not sure if they plan to repaint it with the pot leaves, or something else which no one should complain about.

The end of the article mentions the interior of 'spice of Life,’ at 114 Brunswick Street, although there is no photo in this archive. That's the old Iris Records address. Does anybody remember what Spice of Life was?

Recently discovered the coffee at Into The Void on Brunswick Street. Excellent!

The lentil soup at Ibby's is excellent. So is their chicken soup, when they have it

What neighborhood are you in? Surely you have some neighbors who would help you bring stuff to the curb.

The cheaper ones you've seen, maybe... I live on Newark Ave (btw. Jersey & Barrow), not a luxury apartment, but I have a w/d in unit, central heat & air, lots of space, and a small secure foyer for packages. I pay less than $2k. About a year ago a broker I know was trying to rent a 1BR above the Pet Shop for $1800 (definitely not luxury). But there are deals around, have to look in the right places

I mentioned in it in another post here, but remember when Jake Hudnut ran for city council a couple of years ago, while he's employed as the municipal prosecutor? He would've collected 2 full-time salaries from the city, and the mayor supported him.

I also remember (it wasn't that long ago) when the city council pay was around $35k a year, but now it's more like $65k... I can't remember, they keep voting themselves raises.
