“I’m always suspicious of Brooklyn home girls… They’re poison. They like to be driven home. (It’s always a stone’s throw from Prospect Park. You keep on driving till you land in Sheepshead Bay.) Then, when you reach their destination, they jump out, say “Thanks!” and run into their house
A Manhattan girl would invite you in for a drink and maybe have breakfast with you in bed in the morning, but not a Brooklyn babe… they take, they don’t give…”

“Patrolman William Haag examines the 34 bankbooks found in the decrepit Collyer house during yesterday’s second-floor search. Earliest account dated back to 1894. Most recent withdrawal was in 1942. Total deposits: $3007.”
“On an inside window sill, second floor, police found a cigar box wrapped in rags. Inside were these three old break-type revolvers. two .38s and a .32, in good working condition and oiled. There was no ammunition.”
“They found a miniature arsenal in the Collyer mansion – three revolvers, two rifles, a shotgun, a saber, a French Bayonet. Fire chief T. Douglas Collyer, Rutherford, N.J., a cousin, is shown with some of the firearms.”

Here’s most of the crowd at 1:09 p.m. today, first Sunday of Spring…
And if you look sharply here you’ll see a few young seagulls standing.
Till the sands of Coney Island grow wings.
Sunday strollers in Occupy Wall St. coats at Coney. On beach, no one in bathing suits. Mercury stood at 45 (35% humidity) when Ceegee took picture…

Spring Clicks With the 100s At Coney… Ceegee Just Clicks
By Ceegee
I left the city Sunday morning at around 11:30 a.m. The F train was jammed with straphangers.
When I finally reached Coney their was very little traffic… And a fair number of cops… I missed the christening of the Cyclone, and caught the end of a protest, (to paraphrase: “Your Amusement Isn’t Amusing!”)… On the boardwalk I didn’t see the usual sun bathers. There was almost no one on the beach, just a few photographers and beachcombers, and no one was wearing bathing suits… Many of the concessions were closed.
The salt air made me hungry. So I baked a Dutch Apple Cake (see below) and drank a few cups of green tea. If I feel all right I’ll go to work tomorrow.
It took me over an hour to ride the subway back to the city. The connection from the uptown F to the uptown 6 is now possible and amazing. It was the first day that the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel, etc. were open for the season and for the first time since super storm Sandy…
I wonder what will happen in the summertime.

Where There’s Smoke There Must Be a Picture
1. When fire broke out yesterday in the top floor of Lerner Shops on 14th St., every paper in town rushed photographers to the scene. Our Weegee, seeking an angle, arranged this interesting shot of a rescue…
2. Weegee (above) got Ruth Flax to pose with the victim… (“When I was taking a Mail Order Course in Photography,” Weegee’s caption memo to us explained, “the ‘Professor’ always advised me to put human interest in my fire pictures.”)…
3. Things got more complicated…
4. P. S. The fire? It was a dud. But we covered it!

New York’s Little Italy Remembers the Boys in Service
“This large service flag, decorated with an oil painting of a soldier, was bought with $100 raised by the Dapper Dan Social Club – they ran a dance. Yesterday the flag was taken to the church of the Most Holy Crucifix, Broome and Mott Sts., where Father Pascile blessed it. Then with a band, the flag was paraded all through Little Italy. Money thrown into the flag totaled $300. It will be used to send presents to the young me from Mott St., in the block between Broome and Grand, who are now in the service. Little Itay is proud of them.
