…of the gentrification apocalypse has arrived in Greenpoint.
Its name is the “Yuppie Wagon”.
It is located on Greenpoint Avenue.
Greenpoint is dead. Long live Greenpoint!
Screw that— I want to know what this trailer portable loft conveniently located in the heart of the Historic District of Greenpoint rents for. I want to move UP-town!

Your Late Night Store, Rediscovered
Taylor, a fellow Greenpointer of Brooklyn Kitchen* renown tipped me off to a great old sign that has been unveiled at the former location of Bill Kirrane Realty: 517 Meeker Avenue. While pictures hardly do it justice, here are a few highlights.
Your Late Night Store… now available to rent from Capri Jet Realty!
What would this great old sign be without a contemporary juxtaposition with Mariusz Pudzianowski, the World’s Strongest Man!
What do you eat?

*On July 1st they’re having strawberry jam workshop for kids! Adult supervision is mandatory. It could get very sticky.
TOMORROW: Record Riot
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
This is a quick reminder that tomorrow The Warsaw will be hosting Record Riot, a music lover’s extravaganza replete with beer and kielbasa. Marjorie of the fabulous Permanent Records will be on hand to represent Greenpoint. Why not pop by, get a little music, drink a little beer and say hi?

When I got home after running errands and sweating my ass off I was absolutely delighted to find this image added to my newly-created photo pool. It is by Katie Sokoler and (in my opinion) epitomizes the spirit of summer fun in the Garden Spot. Great shot, Katie!

Fire!
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Apparently there was a fire in the wee hours of the morning at the Green Point Deli Market at 903 Manhattan Avenue. Here are pictures of the damage.
I asked an employee (who was on the premises) what his take was. He said it was arson. A police officer was inside the storefront investigating so hopefully we’ll have a conclusive answer soon. In any case, it looks like it was one HELL of a nasty fire and I hope everyone got out safe and sound!

More Movies At The American Playground!
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
After much delay I finally secured the schedule of movies to be shown at the American Playground in July and August! I do not to give away any surprises, but I have to say it is a TERRIFIC LINE-UP and includes none other than The Good, The Bad And The Ugly! Curious to see what else they have in the offering? Click here* and see for yourself!

Great Moments In Real Estate Advertising: Light, Volume, Space, Stink!

Today as I was walking down McGuinness Boulevard I noticed that the condominium building I like to call “Fort Apache, The Point” now has a web site: www.305lofts.com. Intrigued, I went home and checked it out. Although it is little more than a page directing you to the The Developers Group’s web site, it sports something I found more than a little amusing.
As this image scrolled in front of me my gut instinct told me to take a screencap and look at it very carefully. So I did.
Yup, illuminated living in Greenpoint means having an unobstructed view of our local waste treatment plant*!

*Which, if you are wondering, was a bit more fragrant than usual today.
