The Scoop: House of Hoops, Double Dutch, First Grade Art and DOT Trouble

The House of Hoops is profiled in Vibe. I think just about every major publication has covered this store now.

The Double Dutch Championship is at the Apollo this Sunday and the team to beat is from Japan. Japanese teams have won more often than not for the past ten years. Every time I hear about double dutch, I think about that song “Double Dutch Bus.” Do you know that song?

Harlem Success Academy first graders display their art at Sotheby’s.

You know that Third Avenue Bridge in East Harlem? Two Department of Transportation officials were just charged for taking a $450,000 bribe from the contractor in exchange for helping them out with a contract dispute with the city.

    Nice. Perhaps this will be a catalyst to forming a D-league basketball team in Harlem. Don’t know if it was included in the scoop but Commissioner David Stern wants to put one in Harlem:
