Williamsburg Slide Show Du Jour: Inside Engine 212
Filed under: Williamsburg
This weekend I met my good friend and community activist extraordinaire, Phil DePaulo. After having lunch he asked if I’d like to check out the interior of Engine 212 (also known as The Peoples Firehouse)Â at 136 Wythe Avenue. He told me they were preparing for a one-night event and this was a very unique opportunity. Being a maven of things old, dusty and decayed I thought about this for maybe nanosecond and enthusiastically replied:
Hell yeah!
Follows is a sampling of photographs from my experience. Enjoy!
I can hardly wait to see this place restored back to its former and all-too-well deserved glory— how about you?

Vollies Needed For The North Brooklyn Story Project
This item comes courtesy of my buddy over at Brooklyn11211. He writes:
…NAG (Neighbors Allied for Good Growth) has been doing a series of town hall meetings over the past few months trying to get people engaged on different aspect of life and activism in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. One of the projects to come out this is the North Brooklyn Story Project, which seeks to compile an oral history of the neighborhood and its denizens. They’re having a meeting for volunteers Wednesday, March 11, in anticipation of a training at Brooklyn Historical Society later this month.
I’d appreciate it if you could post something on this for us.

Best. Lost Dog. Flier. EVER.: Rodney Street
Filed under: Williamsburg
Not content with merely duping the elderly and naive into purchasing energy at inflated prices it would appear that IDT Energy is now embroiled in a case of dognapping.
…Person had a tattoo on his neck.
(Priceless)

P.S.: In all seriousness folks if you know anything about this most unusual situation please contact the dog’s rightful owner at the above telephone numbers. I do not know if either of the following fliers are related to the one gracing the beginning of this post— but to be on the safe side here they are.
This is the kind of stuff that breaks my heart. There is a special place in hell for the kind of people would steal pets for money. Jerks.

I have no idea what brought this (which can be found on South 6 Street) about but I bet it is one pretty damned good story.
Lest you have not noticed I have been rather prolific with the blogging this Sunday afternoon. That’s right baby, I’m back!

Borough Of Found Toys Volume VI
Last night I was absolutely thrilled to find this great photograph from Garsav in my photo pool. In fact I liked it so much I wanted it to kick off this— arguably the latest and greatest installment of my “Found Toys” series. Enjoy!

East Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: The Blue Stove Cafe
Filed under: Williamsburg
These delectable edibles come courtesy of a new place on Graham Avenue.
It is called the Blue Stove Cafe…
and as you can see they have a vast assortment of cavity-inducing goodness for the picking.
But don’t make the mistake (I made) of asking for a menu: they don’t have one. Whatever they deem fresh enough to prep on any given day dictates the fare.

When the opportunity arises do check this place out. The rich aroma of baked good that permeates this establishment alone will make you gain fifteen pounds! Yummy.
