Mattress and furniture discounters

I now felt a kinship with the late 19th-century French romanticists. I�d gone from a stubborn Holden Caulfield to a swooning Baudelaire.

When we first met, he was sleeping on an air mattress on the floor of his band mate�s kitchen with the intention of eventually renting his own place. After he had overstayed that welcome, he moved into my apartment without asking, and without my really noticing. Soon I missed my solitude, the contents of my refrigerator and the money I periodically lent him (he rarely had even enough for subway fare). But I allowed him to feed his vices in my home and with my resources as long as it meant that he would allow me to feed my vice: him.

Still, I maintained enough sense to push him (though not very hard) to find his own place. And it was during this time, on an afternoon walk in my Brooklyn neighborhood, that he and I passed the dilapidated Greenpoint Hotel

state and local fire investigators have ruled out arson as the cause of a three cause of a three-alarm fire that decimated a mattress store in Claremont's mill district Sunday night.

Fire officials and investigators from the state Fire Marshal's Office spent yesterday combing through debris searching for clues to the cause of the blaze, which is now considered accidental. However, the cause remains undetermined, according to a news release.

A significant propane gas explosion occurred at the Mattress Factory Outlet, a mattress manufacturer and retail store that occupied the brick building on Main Street, the news release said, but investigators were unable to determine whether the propane explosion was the cause or a result of the fire. The store was heated with propane.

Firefighters received an initial report of flames shooting through the front of the building around 7:45 p.m
