Quicklink: The Real Williamsburg
Remember Very Small Array, the peeps who brought us a map of Greenpoint’s many neighborhoods, including— but by no means limited to: Sewagetown, Garbagetown and North Vinyl Siding? Well, even if you don’t, they have done it again: a map of what constitutes “Williamsburg” per Craigslist apartment advertisements! Greenpointers will be delighted to know Eagle Street does in fact constitute Williamsburg. Bushwickians and Bed-Stuyers will be edified to know Halsey Street makes the grade as well!
Click here to behold the hilarity yourself. I command you.

The real estate market may very well be “regulating” itself. That’s not what I am observing rent-wise. I say this as someone who had a rather obnoxious and very ILLEGAL rider on my (rent-stabilized) lease. I tossed it into the trash, signed the lease and we cut the check. Once the check is deposited it is a legal contract. If “refused” the matter will clog the bowels of Housing Court. FOR A LONG TIME.
What bothers me more is Joann Kims, ‘ situation. It is typical:
I am being kicked out of my apartment Feb 1st (long story, none of which is my doing). I need a roommate or an apartment by Feb 1st. Any leads would be appreciated. My budget is max $1100. I am clean, especially in the kitchen. I detest clutter. I have a dog. I tend to be reclusive when home. I have dinner get gatherings every so often. Apt must be in Greenpoint.
Miss Kim has done a lot for this community. She was and is the brains behind the Greenpoint Food Market. Something I and many others have enjoyed. If you wish to have Joann as a roomie contact me at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. I’ll gladly forward your email.

FOUND: Tarpitter
Ever had one of those moments when you find yourself saying:
Awww, that’s really sweet!
This afternoon I had such a moment. At the behest of Bedford Avenue of all places.
I found this little critter outside of Spoonbill & Sugartown Booksellers.
Noticing he (?) was affixed with Velcro, I grabbed him. He now resides at Chez Shitty in beautiful Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Awww, that’s really sweet!
My curiousity aroused, I checked out the url inscribed on the back without delay. My find would appear to be part of a greater project by an artist in Great Britain. He (?) leaves these diminutive paintings— “Hiders” as he calls them— for people to find.
Thank you, Tarpitter critter-maker! Your serendipitous gift made my day. You can rest assured this little guy has found a very good home…
…on my desk next to the Mister’s vitamin supplements!

UPDATE, January 12, 2010: I made the peeps of Tarpitters aware of my find. They gave me some very nice props on their web site! Thanks again guys (and gals)!
LOST: Have You Seen Me?
