LAST GASP: Live From Meserole Avenue
Aaron (who forwarded me the above photograph) writes:
Saw a group gathered at the corner of Leonard and Meserole on the way home yesterday afternoon. Buddhist monks with bells and incense around flowers, etc. Didn’t know what it was about until I was catching up with my news feeds today and saw your post about the dwi accident.
Alan Lau was a deliveryman for Chinese Musician Restaurant. He called Elmhurst, Queens his home and is survived by his wife and their young children. A number of Greenpointers and Williamsburgers have stepped forward to start fundraising efforts (including— but not limited to— setting up a Kickstarter or ChipIn page) to cover his funeral expenses and otherwise provide financial assistance to his family in this, their time of need. When I get the details I will post them here.
Thank you, Aaron.
Greenburg Photo du Jour: Jerzy Popieluszko Square
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This afternoon as I was passing through J. Po. Square (as I call it), I finally had the pleasure of meeting the woman responsible for keeping the area around Mr. Popieluszko’s statue spic and span. Her name is Regina and today she and her husband were sweeping and bagging up leaves with a great sense of purpose; tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. there will be an event to celebrate the life (and tragic death) of the namesake of this park! Those of you who happen to be in the area— or are simply curious— should swing by and check it out!

It’s been a long time since I have given these events a mention. Today I got a swift reminder in the way of the following little guy dwelling in my photo pool! While not quite ready for adoption yet, he will be at Muddy Paws on Sunday. To give you a taste of what you are in for, gentle readers, I present for your viewing pleasure the following video of “Stripey”. WARNING/CAVEAT: the following footage is incredibly, mind-numbingly cute!

Now At Far Better Auto Repair: The Skinny Door Policy*

Jay (who sent me the latter two photos) notes:
Spotted on Franklin St inside the arcade at the auto repo lot. Where else? Only in Greenpoint!
What yours truly wants to know is if the ensuing demonstration/revolution will be on Twitter.
*Props go out to a lady named Peggy for this. Good one!
