	11:48am Carmichael: Pre-hello, Meghan. That looks like Rob and Laura Petrie dancing over there.
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: How do, Meghan and all!
	12:01pm βrian: Back into the Stream. Hello, all.
	12:03pm Meghan: Hello all!!
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Man, it's June... Hi all!
	12:05pm Meghan: This year.... flying by so fast!
	12:12pm Parq: One of my favorite Mekons tracks.
	12:12pm listener james from westwood: Worse, I keep 2 months of calendar on my office wall for scheduling, so I had to put up July today, too!
	12:15pm Meghan: Oh that is so mean.... makes the year go by even faster having to put up 2 months!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I pick March and November.
	12:21pm Meghan: hahahaha.... Why those?
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: I don't know!
	12:25pm Meghan: I was thinking good eats in November and March.... who knows! Surprised it's not baseball season months for you....
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: I follow baseball 12 months of the year.
	12:27pm Meghan: stalker..... hehehehe
	12:29pm Parq: Thanks to you all for reminding me that there were first-of-month things to see to. Now I'm all set!
	12:31pm Carmichael: Almost forgot: Rabbit rabbit rabbit!
	12:35pm Dave B: Whats cooking!
	12:38pm Meghan: Hey there Brady!
	12:57pm doctorjazz: Saw Wilco at the King's Theater-really liked the place, old style theater, really nicely renovated (not that much scheduled there that makes me want to drag into Brooklyn, though).
	12:57pm βrian: Lobster! I want!
	1:00pm Meghan: The neighborhood Kings Theater is in is an odd area as well. Huge HOUSES with wrap around porches. Gorgeous.
	1:06pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	1:07pm Meghan: good afternoon!
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: I will be having mega lobster in two months. Headed back to the Maine coast this summer. I will spend some of the time underwater. There is no Theme Park, however. G'day, Meghan and everyone!
	1:08pm Meghan: mmmmmmmmm, Maine lobster season..... chilly water up that ways...
	1:11pm Doug Schulkind: The chilly water keeps away the (other) tourists. It can't be cold enough!
	1:13pm doctorjazz: That part of Brooklyn is a bit like Ditmas Park, with old Victorians along with apartment houses. It was upper middle class, then the middle class left, became minority. Ditmas Park has gentrified, not sure about the part of Flatbush that King Theater is in, though. It probably will go the way of the rest of Brooklyn, though (the theater is probably a sign of impemding gentrification).
	1:15pm Meghan: Most likely..... it's not that far out of the way....
	1:18pm Ike: I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!
	1:18pm still b/p: I know people willing to dip around here in the Maine water any day now, but even later in the season I gots to be DAMN hot to get in unless local currents bring a warming spasm close to shore.
	1:18pm northguineahills: Still wondering what's keeping me from listening to Slowdive's new album in full. I'd hate to spotify it, but it looks like that's my option.
	1:19pm Meghan: It's pretty damn good..... I must say.
	1:19pm doctorjazz: Still more Jamaican Beef Patty places than Starbucks around there... I do like this Slowdive!
	1:26pm Meghan: That sounds like a tasty thing....
	1:27pm Snortley: A whole lot of lower middle class residents of Victorian Flatbush got their homes for around 50 to 100 thou; and now find themselves worth millions.
	1:28pm Meghan: imagine....... they lucked out!
	1:34pm Ike: Some of those houses are totally gorgeous and there are lots and lots of trees. Jealous! (Downside: lots and lots of pirates interfering w/WFMU's signal! Gotta stream it there. Screw you, Radyo Independans, or whoever took your place! Jerks.)
	1:36pm Meghan: ahhhhhhhhh The joys of the WFMU signal....
	1:37pm Parq: Way digging this Colorblind.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: If you can afford a 50k house, you can't afford the taxes on a 1000k house. You have to sell whether you want to move or not. Yes, you make money, but...
	1:42pm Meghan: Yeah I wonder what property taxes are on those houses...... ouch!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Gentrification is always coercive.
	1:45pm still b/p: And I've read of the disappearing, of course, long-time Brooklyn neighborhood institutions...restaurants, delis, etc...that finally take offers too good to refuse or just can't take the enveloping pressures of rising values/taxes. A borough feature tangent: I happened to look yesterday at the brief preface to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn: “There's a tree that grows in Brooklyn. Some people call it the Tree of Heaven. No matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. It grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. It grows up out of cellar gratings. It is the only tree that grows out of cement. It grows lushly . . . survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. It would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.”
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Property taxes in NY, if I remember correctly, don't always get updated to current market prices, so you are often paying much less than it is worth on the market. When it can really catch up, though, is on selling; under certain circumstances, you could owe capital gains, so staying put is sometimes better. (complicated business, though, there are exceptions, and exceptions to the exceptions)
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I've never lived where property values aren't reassessed or where there's rent control. It's even worse for renters. Your landlord is being taxed out, or wants to cash out and you're not going to be offered a new lease. They're waiting out tenants to sell to a condo developer...or not even waiting.
	1:48pm Meghan: Unlike Jersey City taxes.... ouch! I just did a quick look through Zillow out of curiosity..... They are going for 1.5 mill to 2.5 mill. 7 bedrooms and a double garage.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: It is even so in Westfield NJ, where I llive...political clout has to do with taxes and assessments as well. So, old Victorians that sell for >$1 million, are older than the houses built in the 70's, 80's, etc, and they are valued as less for taxes, even though they sell for so much more on the market. (the age of the houses is the justification for being valued less; newer is better and valued higher, even though the real market sees it the other way).
	1:52pm Meghan: Damn, even Pre-Forclosure Auctions are at 2 mil
	1:59pm doctorjazz: Enjoyed the show, thanks!
