This. I have tried— and tried— to find the words to describe what you have just seen. Thankfully the owner of this apartment has been lavish with the photo-documentation. What these pictures have to say is way more than the proverbial 1,000 words. Note “the value-added” in the manner of a disco ball (and what appears to be laundry) hanging in the living room. Simply magnificent! Best to simply check out this listing check out the screengrabs and behold the, um, glory for yourself.  You will not be disappointed!

Special props go out to Diana Gee for stumbling upon this gem. Simply amazing.

UPDATE, 10:19 pm: For shits and giggles I emailed our landlord informing him that we were breaking our lease because we found our dream home in Ridgewood. Follows is his reply:

Very astute observation. As you can plainly see, gentle readers, some landlords do have a sense of humor. Conclusion: if this apartment has a soundtrack (and a gnarly HiFI system is undoubtedly among its manifold amenities) it would be something by the Eagles. Or better yet this:

Honorable mention: the Miami Vice theme song.

UPDATE, November 20th, 2013: It has been brought to my attention that if one “Googles” the phone numbers listed on this advert, some mighty interesting results come up. Follows is yours truly’s personal favorite.

This listing truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Cheers!

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Furrever Homes Needed

kitteh

This comes from former Greenpointer, environmental badass and former NCA head honcha, Kate Zidar. She writes:

Can you offer a long term home to these two wonderful cats? They are not bio siblings, but they have been raised together. One super-affectionate calico female and one super-independent tuxedo male. About Kitten – Female calico who loves to give and get attention. She will entertain you with her fetch-skills (see video), but will also sit on your keyboard as you try to work. So…she’s a calico. About Beta: He is a Greenpoint native, born on Oak Street and saved from the streets by Jane Pool. He started out as Kitten’s baby bro and playmate, but is now a great young male, always refined in his tuxedo and very easygoing.

You can see footage of this dynamic duo in action by clicking here. Otherwise, anyone who is interested in giving these two furkids a forever home should contact  Joanna via email at: jomicek(at)gmail(dot)com.

Thanks!

Poor Teddy

It would appear the Greenpoint Avenue Teddy (AKA: Jail Bear) has lost his companions and has taken to hitting the bottle. Poor furry fella.
