Before We Get to Seattle (We shoot in Brooklyn)

Before We Get To Seattle is a new short film shot on location in Brooklyn. “You could call it a coming of age story, but I personally never liked that term.” April Mosqus, who co-wrote and directed the film with her award-winning filmmaker partner Adam Linn, explains. “It came from a feature-length script I wrote called Heartbreaker.” The short film follows the same premise, set in the 1990s and featuring a character trying to leave New Jersey to go to Seattle at the height of the grunge era to start a band.

Barking about Hot Dogs

I'm not sure a recession is the best time to launch a gourmet hot dog shop. I wasn't even sure a hot dog could be worth $6. I'm not going to judge value, but say that this was an eceptionally tasting hot dog. Bark is on Bergen Street near Flatbush.

Tree cut at the entrance of Prospect Park

The entrance of Prospect Park near Grand Army Plaza was flanked by two pavilions. Yesterday, a group of people were cutting branches on the left side (Flatbush side). But to my surprise, it was the tree that was trimmed. The tree was beautiful and tall, I have even taken a picture of it.

Does anyone know what was going on there?
