Adoptable Cuties: Meet Clementine & Smoky
Filed under: 11206, 11222, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Today being cold and dreary as it is yours truly decided to swing by Dog Habitat and meet a couple of their feline residents in search of a new home. Without further ado, here they are!
First up, I present to you the lovely Miss Clementine. This 1-2 year old spayed female is amazingly friendly and loves to purr. Follows is Jay telling us her story.
Next up, I present this distinguished gentleman. Smoky is is an owner surrender (his “person” recently moved into a senior citizens’ facility). He has a very affectionate personality— as you will see!
Lastly, the folks at Dog Habitat would your help finding this handsome little guy’s owner. “Buddy”, as he is called, was recently found at Sternberg Park. Here’s Jay to tell us his story.
Anyone who is interested in providing a loving home to either of these lovely (and loving) furkids and/or can help Buddy find his way back home should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (718) 395-2298 or email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.
Thanks!
Miss Heather
P.S.: When you swing by be sure to say “Hi” to Lion another adoptable cutie. He is quite a handful!

Greenpoint Feral Furniture Watch: Humboldt Street Mattress Slalom?
Today has been a busy one for yours truly. If the copious emails I have received are any indication, I’d say the snow— which has been the basis for most of the aforementioned missives— has obstructed sidewalks and thoroughfares hereabouts, but our information super highway is functioning quite well! What’s more, someone has seen fit to have fun with the white stuff. Bedbugs be damned. CASE IN POINT:
Sherry writes (in regards to this post):
I passed by three mattresses and a box spring this morning on my way to work. One mattress, which was out for trash *in the street* at Humboldt and Norman made its way down the block (toward Nassau), which is when my mom snapped this picture. I’m thinking someone used it as a sled.
NICE.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Snow Farm At Barge Park?
I have received no less than three emails about this in the last 24 hours. Todd writes (in an email entitled “Snow Dumping”) on January 30, 2011:
Haven’t checked your blog yet, but you should take a meander down to corner of commercial street and Franklin ave. NYC Sanitation has been dumping snow all night, blocking access to park and parking on entire street. Where the hell is this snow from cuz they sure as hell haven’t cleaned up greenpoint. Also, what happens to all the garbage left over after they melt it all? Regardless, the pile is pretty impressive
Shortly thereafter, Laura writes:
Yesterday, Mike and I took a walk down to the Manhattan Ave St End Park and then to Barge Park. We were able to get to the Manhattan Ave St End Park however there is so much snow blocking sidewalks and streets at Barge Park, it was impossible for us to get to it safely. On our way, we saw… a bunch of snow plows sitting doing nothing. They are hanging out along Commercial St and Barge Park. Check it out.
And today Graham writes:
hey, heather. long time, no email. i hope this finds you well. i was wondering whether you know anything about the HUGE SNOW FARM that has taken over and completely blocked the streets in front of Newtown Barge Park? it’s really a sight. and also a total FU. why would the city block access to one of the only parks in the hood? they sure as shit didn’t block access to the film set next door.
sorry for the rage. hopefully you know something or can at least spread the word.
Naturally I had to see this for myself so this morning I headed to Barge Park. What I found was downright impressive. And kind of gross.
This defies all known logic. Why would the Department of Sanitation see fit to block access to a public park while leaving Dupont Street west of Franklin, which is essentially little more than a glorified parking lot/trash dump, unobstructed? Thoughts, anyone?
