Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 293rd day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1949, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Delicatessen Gets Wurst of it in Hoax — Never Sausage Nerve!”
The article focused on a prankster who was having random supplies — including diapers, hearses, private ambulances, flowers and piles of fertilizer — delivered to a local delicatessen.
