61 Local, on Bergen Street near the subway, calls itself a public house rather than a pub. It’s a bar that is community minded: a CSA pick-up location with lectures on composting. The space at 61 Local is roomy, with tall ceilings, bamboo picnic tables. The beer is cool and people were enjoying the simple food.

They are still working out the police and fire call boxes at the corner of Smith and Bergen. The two call boxes that were here previously were removed, and this one was added. (Or could this one have the body of one of the old boxes and the head of the other?) The Frankenstein call box occupies the same space as the sidewalk corn and sunflowers from earlier this week.

Five months later, and look – they’ve taken away the newer call box. (It was where the orange cone sits.) I predicted that the old box would be the one to go, but there may be more to this story. Did the newer call box get whacked by a car?
