That’s right dear readers, the folks at 648 Humboldt Street and 97 Russell Street have commenced constructing their rather extensive (and bad ass) Halloween decorations for this year! So as to give you a taste of the ghoulish Greenpoint goodness undoubtedly to come I leave you with this slide show…

and some shots of 97 Russell Street’s spooktacular display from last year— which can be seen by clicking here.

Spotted On Leonard Street: DIY

Yours truly has lived in Greenpoint for over ten years now. Over the past decade I have seen of number of interesting things here. And each and every time I think I cannot possibly see anything else in the way of weirdness I am proven wrong. CASE IN POINT: something I saw on Leonard Street this afternoon.

What initially caught my attention was the industrial sewing machine. Why it is there is anyone’s guess. Greenpointers get pretty imaginative when it comes to garden decor. Then I noticed the flashlight hanging on the front door and no less than three hand-written notes. We’ll start with the one on the far right.

A rather detailed set of instructions…

which continue in the window to the left!

New York Shitty analysis: my knee jerk reaction to this “set up” was as follows;

Wouldn’t just having visiting parties call you using their cell phones be easier?

But then I thought the better of it. This arrangement is much more interesting— and dare I say a wee bit kinky!

P.S.: Why can’t I get the bathtub scene from The Shining out of my head after seeing this?
