This week in news, Christmas came really early with a winter-themed film shoot in the Heights. Also, apparently bank robberies are still a thing? Because our neighborhood hosted one earlier this month. Listen for a brief dramatic re-enactment from Alyssa. Joe digs into the archives for an uplifting 2-star Yelp review of Montero's straight out of the Reagan era. And the Craigslist item of the week invites you to "recreate a world of dreams and pure fantasy" as you walk down the aisle.

In news, intrigue abounds in the secret underground tunnels (sanctioned by the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications) connecting the Jehovah's Witnesses' properties that are up for sale. Also, our snapchat-obsessed generation claims another victim as the Brooklyn Heights Association shutters its house tour initiative.

Garden of Eden gets a close-up in this week's Yelp one-star review of the week, and the aquatic-themed Craigslist item of the week is decidedly untelling.

In a special opposite day episode, Joe and Alyssa switch responsibilities and the episode goes to hell! In episode number 19, we delve into the latest in a series of petty crimes on Joralemon St, offer a very brief but juicy celeb sighting, and read an extra saucy one-star Yelp review of Atlantic Ave. Chip Shop.
