Thursday, February 19, 2004. From a NYTimes article about our lovely neighborhood. Funny, my Hasidic landlord doesn't seem to have an issue renting to me. A 'Plague of Artists' Is a Battle Cry for Brooklyn Hasidim. Published: February 17, 2004. Several weeks ago Mikey Weiss, an electronics store owner with an overgrown blond Mohawk, was visited in his shop on the north side of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, by a couple of men in mink hats.
