Jacks vs. Billies in NYC Nabe War
Are they fighting over the love of Carol Gardens? Having previously insulted Park (Parker?) Slope, here the jaunty top-hatted, beer-bellied Jackson “Jack” Heights throws down the neighborhood anthropomorphism gauntlet with Williamsburg, stating that his apartments are 1/2 the price of Billy’s. Billy counters, ‘Yeah, well, you’re from fucking Queens, loser. And who taught you how to dance? Your Mother? If you don’t shut the fuck up, I’m gonna go get my big badass buddy :”Red” Hook to knock that fucking hat of yours into Westchester county.” But seriously, Billy Burg now needs a living logo to fully dramatize this modern day West Side Story. I see an ironic captain’s hat, tights, Cons certainly, maybe fingerless gloves?
