Marcia Lloyd at
K-Dog: Portraits: Italy/ New York Marcia Lloyd, a long-time resident of PLG (rivaling even Bob Marvin), will be having an exhibition of her photography at K-Dog and Dunebuggy on Lincoln Road between Flatbush and Ocean. The official opening will be on Sunday, September 10, from 5-6:30 p.m. The exhibition, entitled "Portraits: Italy/ New York", will contain 16 of Lloyd's photographs. The photographs reflect her fascination with the difference in the faces of people in Italy and in New York, particularly those of older people, and the reflection of the differences in attitudes toward aging in both places. |

BP's Crew Cleans Lincoln Road Development Site After years of neglect the graffiti comes off If you are a frequent visitor to the Planet you know that we often kvetch about absentee landlords who allow their PLG properties to become festering eyesores. The massive development site at 28-40 Lincoln Road was, until now, a prime example. We contacted Mark Dicus of PLUS back in June about this property and he suggested speaking to the owner about Marty Markowitz's graffiti removal program (which is free for property owners). Mark gave him a call, and the owner agreed to fill out the form we faxed to him. Friday night around midnight, according to PLGer Tom Gordon, "a full crew was at the station scrubbing the entire interior and the area outside". We think this is a nice improvement over the urban-blight look and hope it is only the beginning of reclaiming this property from abandonment. We will be following-up (read pestering) the owner about his future plans soon. |

99 Ocean To Join Graffiti
Removal and Storefront Improvement A long campaign by Mark Dicus of PLUS pays off PLUS has been talking with Jose, the owner of the bodega on Lincoln Road and Ocean, and the management company that operates 99 Ocean Avenue (the big brick/mustard job shown below) about the BP's graffiti removal service and PLUS' storefront improvement program for quite some time. Jose liked the idea and the management company finally agreed last week to participate. While it will take some time, the bodega on Lincoln will eventually be cleaned of graffiti and will sport a brand new awning (provided no one backs out). If you live in the building, you might take the time to thank the owners for helping make improvements to PLG.
