Tough times call for oracle's return
NY Daily News
By Matthew Lysiak
The Brooklyn oracle is making a comeback.
After a four-month absence, the Park Slope prophet will soon be returning to answer questions at the special antique phone outside Pintchik's hardware store.
"Oracle Returns. Are you ready with a question?" flashed the blinking billboard in large neon red letters outside Pintchik's on Flatbush Ave.
Brooklynites can use some answers.
"Can the oracle tell me if [developer Bruce] Ratner is still going to take my building," said Joseph Pastore, 64, who fears his Dean St. building will fall to the Atlantic Yards project.
NoLandGrab: Maybe others would like to answer Pastore's question. Ask Governor Paterson here.
