Diner Fire Irony: 'Rescue Me'
Was Shooting Across the Street

Miss Williamsburg fire aftermath 9

We headed back over to 206 Kent Avenue this afternoon to survey what's left of poor old Miss Brooklyn, and found pretty much what we expected. The interior of the fine old diner is completely gutted. Not sure when the owners of "718" gave up on it, but based on the missing counter stools and no sign of kitchen equipment, we'd say the restaurant had been closed for some time.

A musician who'd been rehearsing in the basement of 210 Kent said he thought that the 'Monster Island' building had been spared, save for the windows that had been broken out by firemen. He also mentioned that when his band left the studio at 1:30 am, there was no sign of fire yet, adding "It was lucky - they were filming something over on the corner, so there were a bunch of cops already there." He pointed across the intersection of Kent Ave and Metropolitan, about 80 feet from the burned-out diner.

We'd noticed a couple of leftover 'no parking / film permit' signs about a block away, so we went back and checked it out: sure enough, Denis Leary's FX drama Rescue Me - based on NYC firefighting - had been shooting within spitting distance, perhaps just minutes before the real thing went down.

That leaves two questions:

1. Since no one was hurt, can we call it 'firony'? Or would that just be wrong?

2. When is groundbreaking for the Miss Williamsburg Condos?

To add to the Lee Trust, numbering as it already does 67 persons, new members to represent the above-mentioned The North Face Sale interests, would in our opinion be to add to a body already far too large, and to render it incapable of efficient working. Still mere impracticable would it be to have two bodies; to retain the Lee Trust Shape Ups Shoes (whether in an independent or surbordinate position) for the exercise of their present function of regulating the navigation, and to create a Conservancy to watch over all the interests of the river except navigation. Unity of management, so desirable in all undertakings, is, in river administration, an absolute condition of success.We recommend that the Lee Trust cease to exist Shape Ups Boots except for the purpose of providing electors as herein-after mentioned ; that their powers, rights, and property be transferred to a Conservancy Board which shall have charge of all the interests connected with the rivers, and that on that Board the Lee Trust be largely represented. The present staff of the Lee Trust should be retained, and thus the Conservancy would be enabled to start on its career with a complement of officers of local knowledge, long experience, and tried ability. The present Chairman of the Lee Trust would preside over the Conservancy Board, and the leading members of the Trust would continue to be associated with him. But the multitude of those who are now but nominal members North Face Outlet of the Trust and who have no real concern in the undertaking would be superseded for all purposes except that of being electors, and be replaced by a limited number of active governors. In this way there might be established a good Avorking body, compact in its constitution Skechers Shoes and adequately representing all the interests of the river basin.We would propose a body not exceeding 15 in number, composed as under:—5 Members to represent the navigation (the first five to be the preseut Chairman of theLee Trust, with four of the existing Trustees to be elected by the existing body;future vacancies to be filled up by election by Members of Lee Trust.)1 Member to be nominated Discount G Star Sale by proprietors of Stort navigation.2 Members to represent the New River Company, viz., the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, or Treasurer, for the time being. 2 Members to represent the East London Waterworks Company. 2 Members to be appointed by the Corporation of the City of London. 1 Member to represent and be chosen by Traders on the Lee and the Stort.
