Here’s a recap of the past week:

• Neighbors remembered longtime community ally [Asghar Choudhri](/blog/neighbors/in-remembrance-of-asghar-choudhri).

• Southbound Parkside, Beverley, and Cortelyou platforms are now [closed until summer](/blog/transportation/this-weekends-b-q-subway-service-changes-16).

• Would the city be better off [shoveling neglectful homeowners’ walks, then sending them a hefty bill](/blog/sanitation/should-nyc-shovel-slippery-sidewalks-then-charge-property-owners-250-for-the-work)? Because [things aren’t working out so great](/blog/sanitation/one-neighbors-plea-for-shoveled-sidewalks) as is.

• Melting snow [caused dangerous electrical issues](/blog/animals/more-stray-voltage-on-argyle-road-plus-general-concerns-around-the-area) for pedestrians and their pets.

• Hartwell Vegetarian [is now open](/blog/business/at-first-bite-hartwell-vegetarian).

• Mark W. Hoglund [examined traffic and risky behavior](/blog/transportation/traffic-study-examines-risky-behavior-on-community-district-14-streets) on local streets.

• Rats! [So many rats](/blog/food/gross-new-map-shows-about-half-of-local-restaurants-have-rats).

• 15-year-old neighbor Rachel Johnson [went missing](/blog/crime/police-seek-help-in-locating-missing-teen-rachel-johnson).

• Here are some [good places to get a haircut locally](/blog/health/question-of-the-week-a-decent-local-haircut).

• We got some fantastic–[yes, fantastic](/blog/food/bite-of-the-day-lunch-delivery-from-zen-vegetarian-house)–delivery from Zen Vegetarian House.

• … and looked into the past at [912 Flatbush Avenue](/blog/photos/ditmas-history-sweets-sneakers).
