Remember the news that a high-end barbershop will go into the old Nick's Hair Stylists on Horatio? Well, it's part of the Freemans Sporting Club chain, a brand spun off from the restaurant in Freeman Alley on the LES. It's apparently a hipster thing. [MenStyle] via Racked

I'm petitioning Bank of America for not having a branch right next to my apt., or at least an ATM in my apt. I mean, I have to go down four flights and walk 1/2 a block to make bank transactions?
You certainly bring back memories for me on your informative blog! The building in the photo which contains the horizontal light blue colors is the former St. George Elementary and High School, which I attended from the years 1969 - 1972 (kindergarten to 2nd grade) while living on 3rd street between avenue B & C in the East Village. If you look closely near the roof there is a gate surrounding the top of the building. That is where we had our school recess when the weather was warm. Those good old days were wonderful and I cherish my time spent as a child growing up there. It makes me sad to see the unfortunate gentrification of the East Village, where three of my grandparents and mother resided after immigrating from Europe, as well as my father. The unique ethnic flavor the East Village once had is quickly eroding. Very sad.
