It happened on 4th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. On Sunday morning around 9 a.m. A friend lives on the block. She happened to be away but she heard the story from her neighbors.
A woman, dressed in a beautiful and elaborate bridal gown, sat on a ledge above the door an old house on 4th Street.
It wasn’t her house. She owners are elderly, from what I understand.
She just sat there and refused to leave. She was holding a box (a wedding gift?) She was asked to leave repeatedly. The police were on the scene, as were reporters from the Brooklyn Paper and many neighbors, some taking pictures.
I believe the Fire Department finally had to take her down on a ladder .She resisted and screamed at this point. But did come down.
These are the details I have pieced together from my friend’s account. She wasn’t even there Do you know more? Do tell.

Blogs are becoming one of the most important source in order to share views and outlooks what you have done to make yout thing outrageously successful.I like the concept has been given there.
All I can say is it’s ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE…you all have done a wonderful job, I’m thrilled!!!
Lets leave the flowers on the front off since they aren’t really going to be seen. I kind of like the simplicity of just the plain white w/the color around the bottom. She’s such a little girl I think simple is better. But I’m definitely satisfied the the decision to put the flowers on the back. And your idea to put both the chocolate/pink together was fabulous.. it’s beautiful!! And the little headband is great as well. It’s all just perfect!!
Thank you so much for all your help!

I think plenty of this site is provocative, personally. I appreciate reading OTBKB Reader’s comment, but I disagree. Sometimes I’m provoked to nod in agreement, sometimes I forward the URL to a friend, sometimes I’m at dinner and say “Did you see that thing on Only the Blog today…”, sometimes I shake my head that the author seems so aware of her issues yet resistant to change, sometimes I don’t like how people — like I just did — make personal comments and yet I’m conflicted becuase the blog is meant to be personal, to be read, and to be commented on.
Anyway, overthinking. But I must say I was “provoked” to click the comments section to find out what the heck was up with the bride!
Sorry to hear that its hard to post. I hear that sometimes. Hmmmm. Will check into it. Louise
Too many steps. I have javascript turned off by default, and never plan to allow it permanently for all typepad sites. So, I type a thoughtful comment, and then I have to type in a 6-character confirmation. Sometimes it’s so monochromatic and distorted I can’t tell what the characters are supposed to be…a 7? A Z? A zig-zaggy line meant to obscure something else? If I guess right, I get a screen that tells me I have to enable javascript, so I do. Then it returns me back to the original post I was commenting on, but my comment is lost.
Yes, I COULD remember to turn on javascript when I get ready to comment, but I don’t and probably won’t, or I could compose my comment in a text editor and save it first. That’s just more effort than I want to put into the blog reading and commenting part of my life.
The reason I’m (cross fingers) successfully posting this is that I just enabled javascript for this site after trying unsuccessfully to comment on the pet store article.
Little of the content of OTBKB is “provocative” in the “I must really put my two cents in” sense. About half the content consists of a neighborhood happenings list, while other content consists of musings, ruminations and the occasional rumor. Blogs that elicit comments generally contain postings of an opinionated nature, or, at least, report news that stirs people. The opening of a new business on Seventh Ave. is not particularly stirring, especially when it is a “me-too” business (coffee bar, childrens’ clothing store, etc.). As such, some of the content of OTBKB is interesting to me as a resident of the neighborhood, but not controversial.
Yes, I’ve noticed that, too. I am curious why some blogs attract comments and some don’t. I know a lot of peopler ead this blog. Thanks for your comment.
curious… I notice other blogs have much more ‘posting’ activity but this one gets a LOT of attention without too much interaction of its readers.
I wonder why.
