Just wanted to send you our flyer and brief info for our Halloween Party this Sunday, October 31st, in case you’d like to post it on your site.  We are going for a clown theme this year (kinda spinning off last year’s freak show) and decorations should be up beginning Friday.  The costume contest will be held Sunday, first prize being awarded $100 and runner up wins $50.  Judging will take place at midnight.  Drunkenness will take place all night long!  If you are in the hood, stop on by.  Otherwise, Happy Halloween!

Right back at ya!

This pumpkin hails from none other than the intersection of Lorimer Street and Nassau Avenue in the Garden Spot of the Universe and was captured by Sherry. Great find!

Great Moments In Abjectecture: Manhattan Avenue Edition

It has been a long, long time since I have literally stopped in my tracks and murmured:

God, that building is really ugly.

I honestly thought I was getting jaded. Then I walked by 602 Manhattan Avenue this afternoon and got my religion back.

God, that building is really ugly.

Congratulations, Francis Albert Construction and Philip Toscano, “Architect” for keeping it real. Ugly, that it is.*

*I would be lying if I didn’t say I found the “everything from the Neoclassical close-out bin at Home Depot” school of exterior decoration strangely seductive. I do.
