we've been told

to keep the strangers out

We don't like them starting to hang around

We don't like them all over town

Across the world we are going to blow them down  (Strummer/Jones)

a trickle becomes a stream becomes a waterfall.....and the flow of migrants across the land continues...transforming the landscape and changes the fabric of what was once the United States of America...an abandoned school in Staten Island...a gymnasium in Sunset Park and Cooney Island...We will be divided into tribes and revert back to the days of Geronimo and Bald Eagle...traveling in packs in covered wagons, setting up camps near streams (bars)..and the Great Kemosabe , aka Elizabeth Warren ; will rule all the tribes

Another Sad Day in the legend that was 11209, as news spread (not a surprise) of a taverns last rites. As Jimi Hendrix would say, yet another Castle made of sand , melts into the sea eventually. O'Sullivans has been sold. The Cornerstone of 89th street and 3rd Ave. 1934-2023 an impressive run. stories making the rounds yesterday included a gem that O'Sullies was one of the 1st Bars in the Ridge to have a Television and how Brooklyn Dodger fans would gather in the 1940's to watch the games on this new fangled miracle machine....and when Prohibition was repealed O'Sullies was the first bar on 3rd ave to swing open her doors.

I am glad to have spent so many afternoons and late evenings at the altar.....enjoying a frosted Mug. Rumor says she will become a bakery or Cafe as 3rd avenue transforms into just another stretch of bagel stores, nail salons and apartment buildings.

side note....Sweater Nite was proud to send a few sheckles to the Defense Fund for Daniel Penny via GIVESENGDO ....we added the comment that it was time to recall Fat Alvin Bragg.....the fundraiser was launched on Friday night and by Sunday morning they had raised 1.6 million dollars......a quick peak this morning shows the kitty at closer to 2 million. nice job America .......now we wait for the bleeding heart media to start whining that nobody contributed to Michael Jackson, aka Cam Neely's funeral fund....maybe his step n fetchet lawyers or Black Olives Matter can stick their hands in their own pockets to bury stymie...or Rev Al .

oh well, happy Monday....don't forget
