As I noted yesterday I took a sojourn around Dutch Kills. My buddy at Newtown Pentacle had this to say:
Ain’t it grand?
Well, its own in a way, it is. Usually one thinks of this industrial part of our fair city as being totally bereft of nature. This is not true. There is flora and fauna to be found there— provided one knows where to look. I happened upon the above-depicted gaggle of geese ducks while crossing the Hunters Point Avenue Bridge. Further along the 51st Avenue I happened upon a couple of gardens in the least expected of places. Gardens whose groundskeepers seem to be of the feline variety. Enjoy!

Today, upon noticing it was a beautiful (if slightly brisk) day, I decided to get out of the apartment and see what was shaking at 5 Pointz. I’m glad I did: there was plenty of new stuff to be savored. Without further ado here are some highlights from my visit. Enjoy!

A tipster we’ll call “M” writes (regarding the above item, which hails from this post):
I saw your post. I saw similar signs last month at Court Sq. They were only there overnight.
To wit I replied:
Now here’s the $64,000 question: how many trees did it take to make the signs gracing said trees?
M replied as follows:
Exactly.

While my site has been eerily quiet on the subject the past few days I can assure you, gentle readers, I have been keeping a vigilant watch over our community’s plundered manholes access covers. Without further ado, here are a few more!
McGuinness Boulevard, between Greenpoint Avenue and Calyer Street, East Side
I appear to have missed these two the first time around. For those of you keeping count, this make twelve such missing covers on McGuinness Boulevard.
Marcy Avenue at Hope Street, 11211
Representing Williamsburg, we have this specimen which hails a mere hop-skip from the entrance to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway! And getting back to unfinished business…
49 Noble Street (between West and Franklin Street)

Noble btwn Franklin and West, not sure if you got this one already. another one down the block filled with water but my photo didn’t come out!
Duly noted! What’s more I felt a fit of artistic inspiration just down the block. More specifically: I decided to put the “man” back in manhole!
In closing, I’d like to note that this phenomenon (the commandeering of public property for sale as scrap) has not gone unnoticed by a colleague of mine in Queens. In fact, today he authored a blog post of his own on the subject. Give it a read!
