Bklink: In the Beginning

The trouble at 475 Kent "all started with a standpipe. When the Fire Department passed by for a routine inspection of the sidewalk in front of 475 Kent Avenue last week, they discovered a rusted, non-working pipe. This led them to follow the pipe down to its source in the basement, where they were greeted with a sea of grain boxes piled high to the ceiling." And the rest is now Williamsburg history.--Brownstoner
