the New York Times. Here’s the deal:

  • I have a very strong stomach. One has to have one in order to live in north Brooklyn (or New York City, for that matter).
  • The declining quality of the reporting featured on the “Grey Lady” nowadays is bad enough.
  • Do we have to be visually assaulted by a foot which appears to belong to the Crypt Keeper as well? I really do not think this is too much to ask.

Now if you do not mind, I am off to procure more eye bleach…

As stumbled upon by yours truly today at 4:00 p.m. Words honestly fail me. Thankfully for such (rare) occasions, I have my camera handy. Welcome to the New & Improved Williamsburg…

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Find Oliver

You know the drill, north Brooklynites: if you have seen Oliver (who was apparently last seen in East Williamsburg wearing a Louis Vuitton collar) or know of his whereabouts, please say something to his people. STAT.

If the developers of 77 Commercial Street have it their way, that would appear to be the case. Read it and weep.

It’s been a while since I have revisited one of my favorite subjects: vacation rentals. Thankfully a tipster brought this listing to my attention. She writes (in an email entitled “WTF”?):

Heather, you’ve been to my building and in my apartment. This apartment must be on the other side of the looking glass.   WTF

I know what you’re thinking, gentle readers: what is going here. Well, the following should elucidate matters somewhat.

This is 127 Dupont Street.

A fellow named Jay (who took the above photography today, July 26, 2013) writes:

I would never entertain the idea of cooling off in the East River no matter how high the temp reached. These four teenagers disagree…

I’ve been away from Brooklyn for about a year. I don’t think the River is much cleaner than when I left. So, what the fuck?
And, yes, these kids could read that sign in English.

Hope all is well with you…

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Very Special Opportunity

In the annals of wanting something for nothing, this (as found on Craigslist) is truly a stand-out. Exactly why one needs to submit a photo so as to clean up cat shit and piss— for no compensation whatsoever— is beyond me. Perhaps this is some hitherto unknown fetish which has escaped yours truly’s attention? If so, it must be a pretty rare one since this individual saw fit to repost this item a month after his/her initial solicitation. I wonder if he/she got any takers?

No kids, this is not a joke. Exactly how far “off the beaten path” is North 7 Street and Bedford Avenue? It’s beaten to death. This is why it is a hellhole.

Credits/Props go out to my landlord for this gem. Thanks!

What’s Going On?

Coming at you from Meeker Avenue and Graham Avenue. A labor dispute? Anyone?
