Crappy— In More Ways Than One!

It’s been awhile since I have seen me some super shitty construction fences, so this morning I moseyed on down to West Street to get my fix. I was not disappointed.

The above fence can be seen at the southwestern corner of West and Kent Street.

Here’s a nice shot of the [...]

Upcoming Event for Cat Lovers: Trap-Neuter-Return Workshop

Given the recent (and rightful) controversy surrounding the ouster of a feral cat colony at J.F.K., I feel compelled to let everyone know a Trap-Neuter-Return workshop will be conducted right here in the Borough of Kings this weekend. Here are the deets per Slope Street Cats:

A Halloween Kitty Who Needs A Home

Meet Miss Antonia. This petite Halloween kitty needs a home. Per the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition web site she is nice tempered little lady who is between 1 and 1 1/2 years old.

Bushwick Apartment For Rent: Chicken Lovers’ Special

Bushwick chicken lovers rejoice, Miss Heather has found the apartment for you! Where, you ask? Where else: that magical place called Craigslist!

I don’t know, $1,400 sounds like an awful lot of money for this neighborhood. Chickens or not. I cry fowl.

A Very Greenpoint Ghost Story

In keeping with this week’s Halloween theme, I have selected a very special tale from Greenpoint’s past to share today. It involves a seance gone very, very wrong. From the November 10, 1923 edition of the New York Times, I present to you a ghost story that could only happen in the Garden [...]

Halloween Photo du Jour: Franklin Street Ghosts
