New York Shitty Photos du Jour: India Street Pier
Filed under: 11222, Bloomblight, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art
Yesterday while patronizing our ferry I noticed the India Street Pier had acquired some added-value. Unfortunately, this does not include those promised benches.
Not that this fazed this fellow much, mind you. He was having a great time!
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Raccoon On The Run
This afternoon Manhattan Avenue had some added excitement in the way of a raccoon which had found his (?) way onto the fire escape above (ironically/amusingly enough) Pets On The Run. Was he or she a bit peckish and opted to get a little take-out? Quite possibly. Regardless, a raccoon (a nocturnal creature by habit) being at large during the day, much less in such a populated area, is not a good sign. Be mindful of your windows, north’ Point pet owners. These critters do NOT mix well with cats!
UPDATE, 5:00 p.m.: I have been told by the D. I. Hurson of the 94th Precinct that this fellow/lass has been delivered to Animal Care & Control and apparently our Finest were called to collect two opossums on Frost Street yesterday. Never a dull moment, folks…

Urban Fur: What’s In A Name?
When I saw this handsome face peering out of the newly face-lifted Franchesca Mini Market I simply had to make his acquaintance.
As you can see he is quite a friendly fellow. So much so I inquired as to this urban lion’s name. “Sueno” is what I was told. I noted this meant “dream” or “sleep” Spanish to wit they noted:
We named him that because he sleeps all the time.
I guess I caught him resting between naps!

THIS WEEK: Environmental Protection Committee Meeting
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This week is proving to be a busy one for our local Community Board. Yesterday I shared the Parks & Waterfront Committee’s rather anemic agenda, today I offer something a mite bit more substantial: the agenda for the Environmental Protection Committee. There are a number of items of interest. Specifically: the location of a gasification plant at our local waste water treatment plant; a discussion of the nighttime piledriving at same said facility, drainage problems in and around McCarren Park including what is commonly known as “Lake McCarren” (as seen at left) and OUTRAGE (whose latest blog post can be found here). Check it out!
