From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Home Invasion At The Viridian?

Nov
11

You read me correctly, folks. None other than the head of the 94th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Hurson, has alerted me that a home invasion came to pass at 110 Green Street (AKA: The Viridian) involving two men— one of whom was sporting a fire arm— today. Thus far no arrests have been made.

This just goes to show that even a building with a doorman can be vulnerable to individuals with very bad intentions. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: be sure the front door of your building and apartment is locked at all times; be mindful of your surroundings and above all if you see something say something to the police. That’s what they’re here for!

I suppose March 14th is as good as time as any to get rid of that Christmas tree. Sheesh.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Props & Bicycle Theft At The Viridian

Oct

A very nice chap (and Viridian resident), Michael, writes:

Hey Miss Heather,

Avid reader, first time tipper. First I gotta say I love the blog – really great stuff. Indispensable if you live in GP. And congrats on the NY Mag article!

I wanted to write you b/c my 2 bikes were stolen from the Viridian garage (110 Green Street) yesterday (I think). They were last seen on Thursday at 11:30pm and were gone this morning around noon. The 2 bikes were: 1) 1980′s Schwinn World Sport – blue frame with black handle bars, fixed and 2) 1980′s Windsor Carrera Sport – gray frame with red handlebars. I’m really bummed about them being stolen… Maybe you or one of your readers will see them around town. If you do please let me know! Thanks again and keep on rockin!

First off, thanks for the incredibly nice words Michael. They are greatly appreciated! You might be interested to know I will be featured on L Magazine’s web site this upcoming week— so keep an eye out! Otherwise, if anyone has seen a bicycle fitting either of the above descriptions please contact Michael via email at: michael (dot) auerbach (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks!

UPDATE, October 3, 2010: Michael has gotten one of his bikes back! He writes:

I got 1 back! Saw some dude with the Windsor on green. Said he found it on the end of Huron street and he gave I back to me! Still missing the Schwinn tho! I hope we can get it back!!!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Fire At The Viridian?

Sep
08

It just goes to show that when I take a vacay from the neighborhood all hell breaks loose. First it was getting above ground (from the G) to hear the sound of women screaming at each other on Huron Street. Then my buddy Kerry told me that he heard two people fell out of the window at the Viridian. When I got home the following was awaiting my reading pleasure in my inbox. Nancy writes:

The boy just called to let me know the Viridian is on fire. I’m at work and the carnage will probably be under control by the time I get out. Please take some pretty pictures for me!

Does anyone have the 411 on what happened? If so please share via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Your identity will remain anonymous if you so desire.

Thanks!

Miss Heather

UPDATE, September 9, 2010:


an anonymous tipster (who forwarded me the above photograph) writes:

Fire was on 3rd floor and only appeared to be 1 or possibly 2 apartments.

A Green Street PSA: Please

Jul
06

Given this building is located next door to Greenpoint’s pride and joy, The Viridian, methinks it takes very little deduction to figure out yo whom this missive is directed. In light of the fact some Viridian residents saw fit to use the indoor garden used as a doggie dumping ground I wouldn’t bet against it anyway.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: The Viridian Gets DOH’ed?

Jun

If the above photograph which was taken by a Viridian resident is any indication that would appear to be the case. He/She writes:

Don’t know the story behind this pool closing but I’ll find out.  Someone pulled a caddyshack?

To be continued…?

Miss Heather

UPDATE, June 5 2010: I have just received word from my tipster that the pool has been reopened. Hmm…

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Dispatch From The Viridian

Apr
09

Yesterday, dear readers, a very special item arrived in yours trulys inbox: an email from a person who lives in none other than the Viridian! I always thought the outside was pretty damned bad. If the following is any indication, the interior isn’t any better.

Anonymous writes:

This blog post writes itself… This is the sign on the ‘tranquility pool’ thing that became a garden.  And this sign showed up a few days after they finished with the garden.
Maybe it should’ve started with ‘Listen up you nasty ingrates.’

(nothing else needs to be said)

New York Shitty Day Starter: Magic’s Touch

Mar
01

When I found this book at the junk shop last weekend I could help but take it to Green Street. A place that was and continues to be “touched” by Magic’s touch. The Viridian (or as I prefer to call it: The Green Street Dorms) continues to amuse. The window treatments at this edifice are particularly provocative. There are not very and as a result I have some insight into the lifestyles of 110 Green Street. A bra-clad woman sitting in a director’s chair here, a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds there; every evening the windows glow with plasma television goodness. I do not want to see these things— but I do. Whatever happened to privacy?

Well, here’s one solution to the problem. But back to Magic and his touch.

Mr. Johnson and his funky bunch have touched Greenpoint…

and some intrepid Garden Spotter has seen fit to return the favor.
