Zaghaven Liquors

by
I know a Liquor Store might not seem like a kid show spot, but Zaghaven Liquors does it’s bit to
help the community.  They sponsor a little league team (appropriately called the Zaghaven Liquors),
they organize a yearly Easter Egg hunt (around Halloween) and the storeowner (a big fat Pakistani guy
named Shazzeb), always dresses up like Santa Claus — period.  Year round, he’s in this grimy old
Santa Claus suit.  That’s all.    

THE PATH

by
This Path leads to the other side of the 6th Borough.  Some call it the rich side.  Others say it’s the bad side.
Yes, it’s SIXTH, and technically Zaghaven, but most of us refer to it as Blue Kills, after the
Park (which you see here) of the same name. It’s nice in Blue Kills, but when it’s not rush hour, the streets
are completely deserted.  Things on the other side of the park include:
1. The Candy Factory.
2. Blue Kills Preparatory High School.
3. The Zephyr Mansion.
4. The Giraffe Stables.
5. The Handball Stadium.
5. Blue Kills North: the fancy houses that surround the park.
6. The Hole.*

*”What is the Hole?” you might ask.  It is a big hole.  It had something to do with the Rumbles.  I’ve been trying to find out about it for years.  I’m not even sure where it is.

Blanket Lights

by
You can get these christmas light quilts now, so you can just sort of throw them over your hedge and be a
lazy jerk.  BUT: what’s nice about these is that the lighting is so dense, that in real
darkness, it actually generates stripes of light in a way that you do’t usually see with
Christmas lights.  If you see them in real life, please stop and appreciate them.
