StephanieL Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 A longtime friend of the family is in Israel right now (near Jerusalem), making her annual visit to see her daughter and family. She's supposed to be flying back to the US on Monday, but she's not sure if that's going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orik Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I can see how being stuck near Jerusalem is a bummer, but they can go to Tel-Aviv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 Everybody who thinks Capitalism is a good thing can now go FUCK THEMSELVES. Although I'm now contemplating putting the proceeds of the sale of my apartment into bombs instead of a new place to live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly moved to Ridgewood once and that would have been a big reason. That will be an irreplaceable loss. (I have told the story before but I was going to take over a little flat as a pied-a-terre from my beautiful vegan friend - who Sneak has met - and she hadn’t even noticed Morscher’s five minutes away.)

Sneakeater Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 It is not lost on me, BTW, that it is precisely people like me moving to Ridgewood that is driving up the rents for longtime residents like Morscher's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonelle is great. We also have Muncan Meats. Morscher's is a big loss. You would have loved the Forest Pork Store and the old Karl Ehmer stores, too. I didn't know you are moving to my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I really thought that if in 38 years I didn't drive Mitchell's Soul Food out of business, Morscher's would be safe from me.

Sneakeater Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 But, as we now know, Morscher's didn't (quite) own their building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
