From what I can make out, it reads “Studebaker Service Station, 1000 Dean Street,” advertising a long-gone garage whose address is the building the sign is painted on. – Nick @ I Love Franklin Avenue blog

I Love Franklin Avenue Blog Snaps Studebaker Fading Ad in Crown Heights
Fading Ad Blog Brooklyn Independent Television Spot Selected as Best of Brooklyn Tours 2010 – BCAT TV
BRIC has announced that December 27th – December 31st will be its “Best of Brooklyn Independent Television Week.” This special week of programming will visit some of our favorite Brooklyn Independent Television stories covered in 2010.
Out of the hundreds of packages we created in the past year or so, a Brooklyn Review segment featuring Fading Ad Blog has been selected for the Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours episode. We thought you’d like to know so you can tell your friends, neighbors and more about your special selection and the airing of Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours.
The Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours episode will air at 1:00pm and 9:00pm on Wednesday, December 29th on BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn’s BCAT TV Network. (If you do spread the word, please tell your friends it’ll air “On Brooklyn Independent Television on the BCAT TV Network”—we underwent a branding change and need to get the new verbiage out there.)
Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours will air on Brooklyn’s Time Warner 56, Cablevision 69, RCN 84 and in all five boroughs on Verizon 44. It will also stream online at www.bricartsmedia.org/bit (launch Channel 3). It will be available online at www.bricartsmedia.org/bitspecials a couple days after its airdate.

Braking the Cycle – Bed-Stuy Blog – March Against Domestic Violence – On Verbal Abuse
Past August Brooklyn AIDS Awareness event further illustrates urgency of this issue in our community.
One of the most sobering illustrations of the disparities in health can be seen when you compare the rates of HIV/AIDS in Central Brooklyn to the rates across the city. In Central Brooklyn (which includes Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights and Brownsville) the proportion of people living with HIV/AIDS is twice the rate of Brooklyn overall and 60% higher than the overall New York City rate.
