This piece (which hails from West Street) is as good as reason as any to remind everyone about this evening’s debate…

The Word On The Street: Meat

I have long been remiss sharing some of the rather interesting wireless networks to be found hereabouts (such as this one). This I discovered while walking home from the recent ULURP meeting. As you probably notice, my apparel is festooned with kielbasa. This did not go unnoticed that rather contentious evening. I put it this way:

This meeting is all about making sausage. And making sausage is a very ugly affair.

Now jump forward to today, August 17, 2013. I go to the local McDonald’s (so as to use their ATM). While I am waiting— and WAITING— I spy this wireless network.

MEAT TREE.

Well, that would not be that interesting in and of itself. However, a short distance from there I happened upon a tree…

And it had meat (specifically, kielbasa) in it.

So it goes in Greenpoint…

As anyone who lives/works near the Salvation Army Family Store on Manhattan Avenue can/will attest: Sundays are a pretty popular day for folks to leave “donations”. Given this establishment is closed on Sunday (as Christian institutions are known to do) the end result is essentially a free-for-all of free goods. Today it would seem Mr. Whitman did not make the “cut”…
