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…

As spied on Java Street. Happy Friday everybody!
Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Manhattan Avenue
Filed under: 11222, BAD ASS, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
I cannot think of a better way to while away a lovely Friday afternoon in the Garden Spot than, say, doing a dozen chin-ups courtesy of a crosswalk signal. Go out there and get ripped, Greenpoint!
Quicklink: From The Greenpoint Gazette
I have long been remiss in checking in on our community’s newest podcast series: Bittersweet Brooklyn. Thankfully, the Greenpoint Gazette just published an article about this fine endeavor and the folks behind it. Those who care to do so can read it here!
Otherwise (and closing on a related note) here’s the latest episode. It is entitled “The Gazette Gets It”. Enjoy!
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Much Ado About AC Units
Filed under: Articles of Fedderization, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, New York City
A fellow named Adam writes:
Dear Miss Heather,
This morning, a coworker pointed me to this field guide to AC units on Urban Omnibus. Of course it brought me back to what I remember as your “Articles of Feddersization” piece on New York Shitty some years ago… but I can’t seem to find it. Do I misremember the name? Was it all in my head?Dying for a link,
Adam
To answer Adam’s question: New York Shitty has a category called “Articles of Fedderization”— but that is not the purpose of this post. Rather, I found the above-mentioned tome a rather fun read. So much so I had to document one of my favorite bits of ingenuity: a window unit head secured in place with a copy Webster’s Dictionary and a tome about cultural literacy! Who says reading is a waste of time?
From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: FIOS For Everyone!
A very nice lady named Marcy writes:
Dear Miss Heather,
I’m hoping you can post a little notice about this petition (and the link) on your most useful and lovely nyshitty website as there are some of us (many) living on the less tony streets of Greenpoint who cannot for the life of us get decent fast internet from Verizon because we are (sadly) considered to be marginal in the eyes of Big Brother Verizon.
I actually made the petition because the Verizon techs themselves (who are always here as our DSL is always down) suggested it as the only way to get noticed (outside of contacting TV stations)…They told us they (Verizon) won’t bother with us (unless we raise a stink) or until the new towers go up. All the details are in the petition itself.
Here it is—with thanks in advance if we can get some more folks to sign if they see it on your site!
As some of you reading this might be aware, yours truly (somewhat) recently moved to bigger, better digs. On Manhattan Avenue, no less. There is one building on my block— ONE— which has FIOS. Why this is so I have no idea. And I down with this? You bet your ass I am!
