Snapshots From East Williamsburg

When the weather is amenable I like to stroll around the more industrialized parts of Williamsburg. I find the heterogeneous character of this area fascinating. You have houses that are very, very old nestled among much newer neighbors. Warehouses mostly. I find something strangely beautiful about this. Follows are a few selections from my latest jaunt. Enjoy!

TODAY: Adoptable Cuties At Muddy Paws

The Bountys are a quintet of winsome tabbies that were rescued with the help of crew members from the Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler vehicle being filmed in our ‘hood.

Three have been adopted. Two await good homes— maybe yours? First up: Bounty

Why this Greenpoint girlie hasn’t been adopted is beyond me. Bounty is adorable and packs a pint-sized punch!

Milo is more pensive— as you can see in the above photograph by Lisacat.

These two Greenpoint cuties (and a few of their feline friends) will be available for adoption today at Muddy Paws. Check it out!

Although I am somewhat reluctant to call this “street art” I suspect that was the creator’s intent so I am going to roll with it.

Speaking as someone who has a friend who was given a thorough dressing down by a mail delivery woman for having Power Puff Girl stickers on her mailbox* I have little doubt our friends at the Postal Service will be very happy about this.

Who says it isn’t a time for troubled youth?

*She didn’t. The mailbox in question belonged to a neighbor. When made aware of this the delivery woman continued her diatribe undeterred.
