    Mail Delivery Problems in South Slope

    Shinybeast writes on the Park Slope Message Board:

    What in the heck is up with the mail service in Park Slope (South)? I've never seen so many errors with delivery during my time in Brooklyn (15 years plus). I live in a two-family and we constantly get mail for people with addresses not really close to ours (we're on a street, we repeatedly get mail for people who live on avenues). I've lived in Greenpoint (two locations), Williamsburg & Sunnyside, Queens and have never experienced anything even remotely like it. It's pretty disturbing how wrong they get it repeatedly. Anyone else notice this? Our mail gets routed through the P.O. on 9th street. I don't even want to think about how much of my mail has ended up 17 blocks away...

    Best Loaf - Lopez Bakery - 5th ave bet 18 th and 19th St. The bread is very good and cheap. I always get the 7 grain. They make a nice loaf, but stay away from the pastry. The bread is baked fresh every day, but the other stuff tends to be stale. Haven't tried the tamales yet.

    Bakery - Two Little Red Hens - 8th Ave. They're expensive, but so good.

    Bodega/small grocer - La Dolce Vita - 7th Ave - Clean store and nice owner, also has a good beer selection

    Toy Store - Toy Space on 7th ave around 13th - Nice selection of toys, if a bit overpriced. This place has saved me on a few occasions when I had to get a quick gift for a kid. There's also a place on 5th ave, but I can't remember the name.

    Children's Shoes - Windsor Shoes - Prospect Park West - The staff is very helpful and they have a good selection.

    Pizza - Pino's La Forchetta - 7th Ave - classic pizza joint

    Coffee Shop - 6th ave and 12th St - Red Horse Cafe - good coffee and not crowded

    Sandwich shop - Pollios - 5th Ave - Good hoagies and specialty foods. It has a nice, neighborhood feel.

    Let's All Drink to the Death of a Cell Phone Store

    Grand Master steve writes in the Park Slope Message Boards:

    "I'm a big believer in supporting small local business... which is why why I am somewhat conflicted to be happy about the demise of one: a cell phone store on 7th Ave. just outside the F station."

    "... One less cell phone store sounds great to me. There must be one on nearly every block of 7th Avenue, and the proprietors largely seem like shysters, so enough is enough. I might even call to see how much they want for the space, but I think it will be more than I want to spend right now for my business."

    They'll be back. Commiserate in the Park Slope Message Boards

    Where Can I Find a Notary Public?

    New on the Park Slope Parents website: a list of Notaries in Park Slope.

    To date, they've got contact information and specifics on Berman Realty, Neergard Drugstore, Ansonia Chemist, Prospect Gardens Pharmacy, Palma Chemist, 7th Avenue Jewelers and Time Pieces, Accentiques Antiques, and the insurance office on Union between 7th & 8th St.

    So, lots of pharmacies and real estate offices offer Notary Public services. What's missing? We can add that the M&T Bank on Flatbush Ave. has free notary services (customers only).

    What else? We'll compile a list and forward it to Park Slope Parents.

    Discuss Notaries in Park Slope. Add another to the list.
