Spotted On McGuinness Boulevard: Bklyn Hydro Garden
When I spied this on McGuinness Boulevard it gave me pause. Could this be the beginning of the greening of McGuinness Boulevard? If the wares inside are indication, I’d say it is a distinct possibility. I didn’t have time to check this place out (was headed to lunch). I will do so when the time affords itself. In addition, my green thumb (if one can call it that) is limited solely to jade plants. I see no reason to inflict my incompetence on innocent plant life. Those of you who are more horticulturally adept, however, might want to give this new establishment a whirl. It looks really neat!

When I ran a Google search for 316 McGuinness this came up. Most intriguing.

Huron Street Kittens Update: Jerzy!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
A number of people have asked me about the kittens that were found dumped next to a bunch of garbage cans last month by a very good Samaritan named Sarita. There were initially four, two being one week old and the other two being approximately four weeks old. The two younger ones regrettably— but not surprisingly— died. This left a brother and sister which we named Anna and Jerzy. In regards to them I have some good news and some bad news: Anna has died. Lisa has no idea what happened. She simply woke up one morning and Anna was gone. If there is any consolation about this sad passing of events it is:
- At least Anna spent what little time she had being loved and cared for as instead simply dying on the street like so many stray/abandoned kittens do.
- Her brother Jerzy is happy and healthy. He has tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV!
Here’s Jerzy the day he was found: April 13, 2010.
And here he is after a very exhausting “play session” at Muddy Paws yesterday!
Lisacat writes: …He is so damned cute right now. Super feisty, eating great, eyes cleared up, good poops, etc. I’ll test him for felv/fiv before Sunday, I think he’s going to be amazing!
But don’t take her word for it. Here is Jerzy having a grand old time!
In closing I would like to thank everyone once again for their generous donations towards Jerzy’s medical care. It took several weeks of antibiotics and TLC but as you can see it was money well spent. I agree with Lisa: he is going to be a very remarkable guy!

Did you ever notice the Department of Sanitation names its trucks?
I do now. I wonder if e. e. cummings has a truck?
