New York Shitty Day Starter: Soma Tax Services
Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) opines:
One of the most amazingly decorated stores I have ever seen, much less a Tax office. Picture does not do it justice, every statue and picture is lovingly cared for.
I suppose if you have to fight the IRS you might as well have Indra and Ganesh on your side.
Indeed.

LAST GASP: Letter From An Angry Neighbor
Filed under: Queens
It would appear that 66-68 Clay Street is but one of Mr. Deutchman’s 3/4 Houses. Special thanks goes out to Queens Crap for forwarding this to my attention.*

Happy New Year From New York Shitty!
When I awakened this morning I discovered so much good stuff in my photo pool I could not resist sharing a slew of them today. This comely trio of lasses comes courtesy of Chris Arnade and hails from Jackson Heights!

This item comes courtesy of my friend at Sheepshead Bites. Please give it a read as the content makes it all too clear how some neighborhoods get more diligent treatment than others. On that note I am going to crib— with credit— Sheepshead Bites work so as to illustrate the difference between my street and Bloomberg’s.
“Patience” my ass. This B62 bus (and numerous others) parked on our thoroughfares are not only inconveniences which afflict working Brooklynites but Long Island Cityites as well. But why should that matter? We do not live in Manhattan.
Well done, Bloomturd!
Care to juxtapose your block with Bloomies? Send me a 300 by 400 pixel jpeg and I’ll do the rest!

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Missing
No details are given as to where Giuseppe “Joe” Russo calls home— but I spied a number of these fliers on Manhattan Avenue this afternoon. Therefore, I am guessing he is a Greenpointer.
If you have seen Joe (who hails from Howard Beach and is an Alzheimer’s patient) or know his whereabouts please call 911 or his loved ones at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!

P.S./Props: Special thanks go out to the anonymous tipster who forwarded me the last photograph gracing this post.
Quicklink: YRU On My Train?
Props go out to Subway Art Blog for spotting this gem. He writes:
What could possibly drive two aspiring actresses to start interviewing strangers in the subway? Sheer curiosity.
Why Are You on My Train? is a video blog by Alli Goldberg and Jen Jamula. Both of them moved to New York to pursue their acting careers after graduating from Yale’s theater department, but found themselves doing something they never expected. “Our blog was partly born out of riding the subway to and from auditions and a) wondering who the people were around us and b) wanting to engage,” explained Jen…

I can only hope I meet these ladies and tell them my tales. Provided of course the G train is actually running.

Happy Feral Cat Day!

Jesse writes:
Thank you for covering feral cats (and domestic cats), as well as doing posts about TNR workshops. I’m writing to see if you’d consider doing a post for National Feral Cat Day (on very short notice – it’s 10/16!) to raise awareness about feral cats and what people can do to help.
Every neighborhood in NYC has feral cats and most people innocently feed them, not knowing you can do anything else to help out these feline underdogs. But they can – through Trap-Neuter-Return! Our website with general information is here. And the workshops, including one on 10/16, are listed here.
We’re always willing to provide feral cat content at any time, National Feral Cat Day or not, so please keep us in mind!
Duly blogged!
