New York Shitty Day Ender: Caption This

June 27, 2012 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

As my professors in art school often said:

Context is everything.

And by all appearances this concept appears to have been lost on this fan of our current Community Board 1 chair and aspiring 50th Assembly District Leader, Chris Olechowski. Or perhaps he (she?) has a sense dark sense of humor? Only he knows for certain. In any case, this Nassau Avenue business owner could have at least placed Mr. Olechowski’s visage in front of premium, two-ply asswipes. Standards, people!

P.S.: I have decided a prize is in order for anyone who sees fit to give this image a snappy caption. See “comments” for details.

Under the Brooklyn Queens Expressway at Morgan Avenue.

P.S.: For those of you who are keeping track this is what this homeless encampment looked like as of May 31, 2012.

On June 8th I was personally assured by our City Councilman, Steve Levin, that it has been taken care of. Taken care of = the homeless have been rousted and the Department of Transportation has added admonishments via neon orange spray paint that trespassing is prohibited. In other words: the homeless problem in our community has not been solved.

TOMORROW & BEYOND: North 6th Pride!

Today’s rather brutal weather has provided yours truly an opportunity to peruse her “spam” for any/all items of interest to North Brooklynites. Exactly how the above missive ended up there I do not know. One would presume someone who operates a site called New York Shitty would have an open door for missives of this nature— but clearly my email nanny feels differently. Go figure. Nonetheless, here it is. Check it out!

North 6th Pride
Friday, June 22nd & Saturday June 23rd
North 6th Street between Kent Avenue and Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11211
