Earlier this week I had an encounter with (yet another) aspiring journo visiting my humble ‘burgh seeking to “get the dirt” on the ‘Pernt. I met him in the most unexpected of places: the local Salvation Army. The “new influx”of “dumbfux” has provided me a new means of acquiring nice duds dirt cheap. My [...] Today’s example of Park Slope dog shit signage comes courtesy of a coworker of my husband’s, Chris. He writes: …from our walk to work, between 4th & 5th (Avenue), one block south of President (Street)… This isn’t a dog shit sign, it’s fucking instruction manual. Then again, we are talking about the neighborhood [...] It gives me great pleasure to showcase the first submission to my Catcall project: 240 Richardson Street!

It was instigated with an [...] I recently got an email from one of my readers, Fisher6000, alerting me to an event being held today at Socrates Sculpture Park. She writes: I wanted to let you know about an opening this Sunday at Socrates. In addition to great art, there will be Cajun food and a band! Open Space Opening [...] I have always made it a point to avoid the 51st and Lexington hub of the MTA. There are a number of reasons I eschew this station, but the two main ones are: Its thoroughfares are clogged worse than sideshow fat lady’s arteries. It smells bad. Really bad. The latter always confused me; I [...] This week I had a rather unpleasant experience which has motivated me to start a little project.
