Welcome to the Subway

Where: The Bleecker Street stop on the downtown 6 train
When: This morning
Who: A workman on the crew doing the endless renovation of the station; many subway riders
What: The workman’s very large boom box, at the top of a ladder, blasting Guns ‘N Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” to the amusement of many and the annoyance of others

Take that, tourists! Other possible choices?

Celeb Sighting Across the Street!

As us Shore Fire folks strolled on into work yesterday morning, we had to make our way around a swarm of people who had gathered in front of the Brooklyn Courthouse. Turns out that modern day R&B icons John Legend, Melanie Fiona, Common and The Roots were filming a music video right across the street from the Shore Fire offices!

Unluckily for them (and those hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars), it started raining cats & dogs in the late morning and sent everyone running for cover.

Check out the action from our 16th floor view:

Can you spot the stars?!
