New York Shitty Day Ender: Saltie?
Today as I was hustling to the G train I was pleasantly surprised to notice the former location of Cheeks Bakery did not languish as a vacant storefront for long. Goodbye Cheeks, hello Saltie! Does anyone reading this have the 411 regarding the latter? If so, please leave them in the comments section or email me at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!
Closing on a (semi) related note it would appear that N6 is gone and “Pinkerton Wine Bar” aspires to take its place.
I wonder if the Pinkertons* encountered the same resistance as their not-so-distant neighbor, Custom, did last month? I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.

*It should be noted Pinkerton National Detective Agency and Pinkerton Wine Bar are not related. But given the previous’s checkered history I find this name— for a wine bar, no less— interesting to say the least.
MISSING: A Very Special Cat
I encountered this flier on Wythe Avenue and North 7 Street today during my ramblings in Williamsburg. No name for this lovely tuxedo lady was provided but given she sports a couple extra toes and “crooked tail” that should make her easily identifiable. If any of my Northside friends have seen this stunning lass or know of her whereabouts please contact her person, Margarita, at the above telephone number.
Thanks!

Why yes, yes they do!
Looks like the natives are getting restless.

Happy Primary Day From New York Shitty!

Yes folks, today is the big day. I suspect I speak for many when I write that —regardless of who wins what has turned out to be one of the sleaziest races for a city council seat in recent history— I’ll be delighted to simply to have the barrage of mailers and automated phones cease and online excrescences such as this* to lose their raison d’etre and vanish in a puff of irrelevance. To close on a related note, Atlantic Yards Report has written a splendid post as to why they endorse Jo Anne Simon. I strongly recommend that any and all who will hitting the primaries today to vote for the 33rd district’s next Democratic party candidate read it.
Happy voting!

*Until recently these clowns were spamming the unholy bejeezus out of the CB1 Yahoo group. Here’s an example of one of their more insane tomes. Goodbye and good riddance.

When the weather is amenable I like to stroll around the more industrialized parts of Williamsburg. I find the heterogeneous character of this area fascinating. You have houses that are very, very old nestled among much newer neighbors. Warehouses mostly. I find something strangely beautiful about this. Follows are a few selections from my latest jaunt. Enjoy!
