Via NY Daily News:

Republican state Assembly hopeful Russell Gallo is trying to get soapbox time on a nationwide controversy by inviting Chick-Fil-A to Brooklyn. Gallo, who’s running in the 45th AD against Democratic incumbent Steven Cymbrowitz, sent a letter to Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy inviting the fast food business to Brooklyn.”

We know, this Chick-Fil-A issue has been flooding your Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds for what feels like decades, but this warrants a post – whatever you believe, this is a pretty ballsy move for a hopeful politician to win over voters. You can read his letter to Cathy in its entirety below:

For the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death, August 5, NBC News has released old interviews with the iconic movie star. In this interview, she proclaims her love for our fab ‘burb:

When I retire, I want to retire to Brooklyn…it’s my favorite place in the world so far that I’ve seen. I haven’t traveled much, but I don’t think I’ll find anything else to replace Brooklyn. I just like walking around. I think the view is better from Brooklyn, you know, you can look back over and see Manhattan. That’s the best view…It’s the people…I like the streets, just the people and the streets and the atmosphere, I just like it.”

So do we, Marilyn!
