A one-of-a-kind walking guide to Brooklyn, from the man who walked every block in New York City

Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City--6,000 miles in all--to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked Brooklyn--some 816 miles--to write this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's hottest borough. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journeys, The Brooklyn Nobody Knows captures the heart and soul of a diverse, booming, and constantly changing borough that defines cool around the world. The guide covers every one of Brooklyn's forty-four neighborhoods, from Greenpoint to Coney Island, providing a colorful portrait of each section's most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things. Along the way you will learn about a Greenpoint park devoted to plants and trees that produce materials used in industry; a hornsmith who practices his craft in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens; a collection of 1,140 stuffed animals hanging from a tree in Bergen Beach; a five-story Brownsville mural that depicts Zionist leader Theodor Herzl--and that was the brainchild of black teenagers; Brooklyn's most private--yet public--beach in Manhattan Beach; and much, much more. An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today's Brooklyn, the book can also be enjoyed without ever leaving home--but it's almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore one of the most fascinating urban areas anywhere.

Fantastic product
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works Great, at first didn't believe all the reviews, I've bought 5 chainsaws from one season to the next. After each winter couldn't get them to start. Followed the instructions to flush and let sit for a few days. Every one started and ran great. Hands down, this is a remarkable product for cleaning out blocked fuel systems from sitting all winter would recommend it for all 2 cycle engines and use the stable blend for winter as well as anytime use to prevent fuel spoilage.

Efird, a great product

Used this in a Troy Built Garden Tiller, the tiller would stall and hard to crank until we use the Sta Bil Fast Fix, tiller now runs great and does not stall.

Worked great, saved me hundreds.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've had issues with the carburetor on my 2003 Honda ATV for years. It has needed cleaned regularly to stay running, and one repair shop wanted over $400 to replace the carburetor. One treatment with STA-BIL and it's running smooth again. Very impressive.

Great for 2 cycle, meh for 4 cycle.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is flat out amazing for 2 cycle small engines, works like advertised. 4 cycle isn't as good, if your engine hasn't ran in years, you'll still have to clean the carb, but it does help some. The 2 cycle oil for one is a lubricant and inhibits varnish buildup (especially a synthetic premium brand), and usually premium oil has a fuel stabilizer in it. Plus if you don't have a float bowl, there's not enough fuel for phase separation. I also use it in my mix for my ultrasonic cleaner when cleaning carbs. Overall a very good product, but understand it's limitations in this modern age of ethanal fuel.
