Why is this gate open?
I am not a criminally-inclined person. I abhor violence towards my fellow man (and four legged friends).
Yet I cannot help but worry about this open access to the LIRR. It is ample fodder for someone not so benevolent. As I understand it this gate has been left open for a week. Lock it. Miss Heather
He writes: This isn’t earth shattering-ly amazing news BUT it was nice to see. Remember that photo I sent a few weeks ago of the large hole in the street on Nassau? Well, it was repaired recently and I like to think that calling 311 helped get it fixed a little faster than not reporting it at all. Won’t know the answer to that, but they did a damn fine job patching it up! Now if only we could stop drivers (and pedestrians) from texting when they should be watching where they’re going then the streets of NYC will be safe for EVERY body. I even saw a dude texting while riding his bike down manhattan ave – at least he was in the bike lane. Ha I have spent a great deal of my time today communicating with a buddy of mine who is a community liaison for our State Assemblyman: Joe Lentol. 1. First it was regarding the lack of proper sanitation on Eagle Street. What does it say about our city government and agencies when a State Assemblyman feels compelled to shed light on quality of life issues in Greenpoint? Not much. Miss Heather

In the hopes of a repeat of Socks’s triumphant return to his rightful owner I present to you this found cat flier from Manhattan Avenue. No gender is indicated but I seriously doubt there are many black cats with extra toes running amok on Freeman Street. If you know to whom this lad (or lass) belongs please contact his (or her) good Samaritan at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks! Miss Heather

Some of you might recall I encountered a live chicken in this park two years ago: Larry Bird. This may seem like an inexplicable occurrence but when one takes into consideration that there is a poultry facility located next door it is not unreasonable to presume this is from which my feathered friend originated. As for the above-depicted item, well, I seriously doubt it simply walked there.
When I strolled down Noble Street this morning the gents at Eastern Poultry were busy hosing out their trucks. Don’t let their dour, business-like demeanor fool you: my presence was a source of considerable mirth. Or at least that’s what their wolf-calls and whistles would suggest. Amusingly enough when I started filming they got “shy”. No worries, when I stopped they resumed their “merrymaking”. I have already expounded upon the standard operating procedure for this complaint (and any other, for that matter): call 311, file a complaint, get a complaint number and tender this number along with any and all details to your local community board*. Given that we’re probably dealing with illegal dumping of material that is (or I would consider to be) hazardous I would also forward this information to: 1. The New York City Parks Department (who, I would like to note, had an employee cleaning this space when I walked by this morning). If anyone out there has more advice for my friend Heather please tender them via comments. This is not only unacceptable, it is disgusting and a public health hazard. Our community deserves better than this. Miss Heather *It should be noted that Community Board 1 (which serves Greenpoint and Williamsburg) is having their monthly meeting TONIGHT.
