From The New York Shitty Inbox: The Other Barge Park?
I imagine some of the people reading this will want to enjoy this recent bit of pleasantly mild weather at one of our public spaces. If so, you will probably want to avoid the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. An anonymous tipster (who sent the above photographs) writes:
Hey there,
Just wondering if you’ve seen the atrocity that is the metal recycling barge at the end of manhattan ave near the Newtown Creek. These guys are parked a 1/4 of the way into the park and have destroyed the entire view looking east. My dog won’t even take a shit down now there cause the metal being splashed around scares the hell out of her. They’re at it 12 hours a day… please help spread the word, and have people call 311.We have too few parks as it is. I can’t believe the city would approve of this nonsense (assuming they know about it, which is doubtful).Thanks!

Missing On Manhattan Avenue: Andrew
I spied this flier (at Huron Street) while knocking around north ‘Point earlier today. If you have seen Andrew or know of his whereabouts please contact his “person” at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!

Urban Fur: Back To Work
I, among many other North ‘Pointers, was absolutely elated to hear the good news that C.C. has been safely returned to his place of work/play. Naturally this morning I had to swing by Animal Planet and welcome him back. What awaited me was a changed man.
Not only is C.C. downright affectionate nowadays, but his person told me he answers to his name now is downright aggressive about getting lovins’.
If the scratches I spied on his nose are any indication, I’d say Mr. Sabathia had a run-in with an urban lion even more formidable than himself. Perhaps working retail isn’t such a bad “gig” after all? His co-worker, Kobe (who’s traditionally been the more level-headed of the pair), had this to say about C.C.’s homecoming: a hiss and a healthy swat to the face. That’ll learn him.

When I saw this chap last night I simply had to ask him if I could take a photograph. Pandas, being an endangered species, are quite rare. And this was the first and only time I have seen one in north Brooklyn! True to form this 11222-er had his “smartphone” on the ready. Note the carefully placed hole in his “mouth” so as to accommodate a cigarette. One word: awesome.
