From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Live From 400 McGuinness Boulevard
After seemingly being dormant for a few weeks 400 McGuinness, the site of a proposed 200 bed assessment center for single homeless men, is abuzz with activity! As you can see there is not a dumpster on the premises so the sidewalk has been pressed into service. My tipster was rather displeased by this and has vowed to file a 311 complaint. Note: the gentle removal of fiber glass insulation in the last image.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: 1st Annual Greenpoint Film Festival
This weekend I was approached by a chap named Matt. He wished to use a photograph of mine as the basis for an advertisement slated to grace the next issue of Williamsburg Greenpoint News + Arts. As you can see from the above image, I happily obliged him. In any case, this turn of events is as good a reason as any to announce we Greenpointers are in for something pretty nifty this upcoming October…

Coming (Back) To Greenpoint: Blue Bloods
That’s right folks: after The Kensington Prospect (from whose blog I grabbed the image at left) broke the good news that Blue Bloods were looking for “working class neighborhood types” for a film shoot coming to pass in their neighborhood August 12 (lucky devils!) I have learned they will be returning to Greenpoint this upcoming Friday, August 19th. Hipsters, Hispanics, elderly women (and men); men with long hair and tattoos; and of course “Polish types” take note. This is your opportunity to be famous! Or at least “working class”.
On Friday August 19th, 2010 a Television Show Production of “Blue Bloods” will be shooting interior/exterior scenes at Leonard Street @ Nassau Avenue.*
APPROXIMATE TIME: 10am – 5pm
New York Shitty analysis: I suppose it is only fitting that an entity endeavoring to find “working class types” would elect to shoot in a working class neighborhood. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk stereotypes for free?
Now if you don’t mind I am off to procure some Zywiec and polish my scimitar…
