Now Open At 165 Greenpoint Avenue: The One Well

Today was the second day this— the newest business to open its doors in the Garden Spot— has been open. I took a few moments to chat with the very nice lass behind this “eco chic home and body boutique”: Kerry Jones. Not only is she a very nice lady, but I for one was rather excited when she mentioned she was interested in featuring art work from local artists! Follows is a review of what The One Well has to offer. Enjoy!

NOTE: The One Well will be having its official grand opening reception November 11th (READ: 11/11/11).

Greenpoint Halloween Watch: 97 Russell Street Represents!

That’s right folks: the Halloween decorating (courtesy of a wonderfully sweet lady named Beverly) has begun.

It’s looking good!

Ghoulishly good!

As happenstance would have it, I bumped into the head of the 94th himself, Deputy Inspector Hurson, just around the corner on Driggs Avenue. I asked him if he had checked out this display. He had not. However, he did state that he had checked out 648 Humboldt Street. He was impressed— and rightfully so!

I took a moment to tell the folks responsible for this ever-growing display that I really liked the “day care” tableau (as seen above) and the girl in the pink dress reminded me of Courtney Love. They found this quite amusing— but added with a wink that this year might be their final run. I suspect I speak on the behalf of a number of north Brooklynites when I write:

Say it isn’t so!

To be continued…?

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Beauty!

It would appear she found her way back home! I suppose a hard-working gal at needs to cut lose on a Saturday occasionally.

That right folks: the stalwart tuxedo lass who has kept quiet watch over World of Flowers for as long as I an recall has gone MIA! If you have seen a cat bearing a resemblance to the above kitty (but, as is noted, a bit more rotund) please call Beauty’s “people” at the above-listed telephone number or swing by. Thanks!

The inimitable Manhattan Avenue soft-serve mistress (and all-around badass) Miriam enjoys a little “downtime” with the “company” (READ: her mother’s) i-Pad!
