Greenpoint Street Art Du Jour: Dan Witz
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art
Given how many times I have walked by this building (READ: too many to recount) I cannot believe I didn’t catch this piece (from his “Ugly New Buildings” series) until today. But then again that’s the really fun part of his work: how it blends into the landscape. This admittedly weathered piece makes to my knowledge two Scarano specials which have merited Mr. Witz’s attention.

Quicklink: Christmas In Greenpoint
(Or: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em!)I recently had the pleasure of helping a friend of mine, Bitchy Bluestocking copy edit a draft of her rather lively Christmas experience in our fair burgh. As of today, dear readers, it is up! Follows is my favorite passage:
…I told my roommates that I’ll be in Istanbul from January 13 through the 18. If during that time they’re awakened by Martin Luther King, Jr. carols then they’re welcome to join the party — I’m serious, we have a standing invitation — and drink as much of the landlord’s booze, smoke as many of his cigarettes, and tell everyone spierdalaj (spear-doll-eye), Polish for “fuck off,” which I take as being the true meaning of Christmas — or any other holiday — in the 94th precinct.
Read it for yourself. It’s a hoot!

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Chinches
January 8, 2011
Apparently either people do not know what know what chinches are or being a “blood meal” is not a “deal breaker”. My advice: before renting an apartment in the Garden Spot (or anywhere in our fair city, for that matter) check the Bedbug Registry. Warning/Caveat: before clicking the previous link be prepared to be totally horrified.

I am not completely fluent in Feline, but I suspect what Daisy is saying here is she wants her window back!

Crosstown Local Photos Du Jour: Every Step Of The Way
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
If you want to see some painfully bad Photoshop, go to the Queens Bound platform of the Crosstown Local at Greenpoint Avenue. The above photograph is but only a taste of what awaits you. Ouch.
