From The New York Shitty Inbox: Fire At 832 Manhattan Avenue?

Peter (who sent me the above photos) writes:

hello miss heather-

I was having coffee this morning and happened to notice an enormous cloud of blackish smoke pass by my window on Leonard Street.  It appeared to be a pretty serious fire on Manhattan Ave near Calyer that [...]

Williamsburg Video Du Jour: Après Moi le Deluge

As yours truly inexorably creeps closer to middle age, I have achieved a certain level of acceptance about life. For example:

I have grown to accept I will never be a millionaire. Money always has been and always will be a concern for me. I will never win the Nobel Prize. Not that [...]

Southside Street Seating Du Jour: Tete a Tete

This is not “street seating” per se but it merits attention nonetheless.

For starters, this al fresco arrangement has a rather nice view of the Williamsburg Bridge.

Secondly, it’s easily accessible via the collapsed (but nicely painted) construction fence!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Bloomblight With Benefits

When I saw this nondo in my photo pool I recognized it immediately: it graces (?) the corner of Herbert and North Henry Street. What I didn’t know is this hulking eyesore— despite its decrepit condition— has a resident. So it goes in the smash-jaw world of north Brooklyn real estate.

His [...]

New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: Naugahyde With Benefits

Okay, this specimen is not technically a street couch: I spied it through a peep hole in construction fence on Gerry Street. However, I felt the magnificent melange of material (including a broken figuring of the Virgin Mary) gracing said sofa merited a mention. Closing on a related note, I am pleased to [...]

Presenting Skidmark Row

As the delay in today’s postage probably indicates today I decided to table the blog a bit and go for a walk. I made a number of amazing discoveries (such as learning the mattress at North 4 and Berry Street has inhabitants). You will be delighted to know, dear readers, I plan to [...]

Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Nature's Revenge

My hat goes off to the peeps at Red Rose & Lavender (and Nature’s Revenge) for tickling yours truly pink with their ongoing and incredibly delightful re-purposing of this derelict construction site. Bravo!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Mixed Signals

So what do you think this space will be:

A supermarket? A medical clinic? An auto supply store? All the above?

Please tender your votes via comments.

Miss Heather

P.S.: I’m hoping for “the [...]

Found On Scarano's Shoebox: Toddler?

As many of you have probably observed as you have read this blog yours truly has a “thing” for derelict construction sites (such as the above eyesore which comes courtesy of north Brooklyn’s good friend, Robert Scarano). I also spend a great deal of time documenting street art. So you can imagine my [...]

Now On Union Avenue: CALL-A-HEAD

Earlier this week I wrote about the curious happenings at 236 North 10 Street. Today I decided to swing by and see how things are shaking. I am pleased to report this bit of Bloomblight has become much more interesting.

More construction debris has found its way to North 11 Street.
