Curtis GO Brooklyn Editor THIS WEEKEND This weekend is your last chance to see Fred Harper’s Beep backs humorous parade of caricatures in the “Burning Bush” show, now on display at the DUMBO General Store [111 Front St. at Washington Street, (718) 855-5288]. It is appropriate that the coffee bar/watering hole for the neighborhood’s creative types — whether they’re craving caffeine, booze or a salad — is the venue around which Harper’s stinging, satirical works hang, including “Bush of Arabia” (pictured), the cover illustration for the Feb. 28, 2003 issue of The Week magazine.

In addition to the Ward Bakery, the group seeks to preserve the former A.G. Spalding sporting-goods factory at 24 Sixth Ave., the Atlantic Art Building at 636 Pacific St., and the former Daily News printing plant at 700 Pacific St., the only building of the four not slated for demolition under the Ratner arena plan. All three are now luxury apartment buildings. “I grew up in the suburbs and love living in a place that has a sense of a past,” said Finton. Asked about bringing in Gehry — noted for the Guggenheim Bil- bao museum in Spain and the Dis- ney Concert Hall in Los Angeles — Finton said, “I’m not crazy about Frank Gehry.
