A compelling piece about the ten tower development slated to grace Greenpoint’s waterfront. Yours truly found it compelling that, for example, George Klein (the fellow behind this endeavor) made a$2,500 campaign donation to Christine “Bloomberg’s Fourth Term” Quinn’s Mayoral campaign. Do take a moment and give this a read!

As spied on West Street. Looks like we’re under a flash flood warning until 1:00 3:00 p.m. Stay safe and dry folks!

As seen from Court Square. This is not a great photo— but it is a beautiful sight nonetheless!
New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: 31st Street
I am not an Astoria resident, much less a constituent of Ms. Simotasas. However, on July 2nd and July second only, that might have to change.
Racks. That’s pretty gnarly. I would even go so far to say it makes “Hooters” seem classy by comparison. So it goes.
In closing I would like to propose the following:
- a group of Williamsburg and Greenpoint residents be assembled
- said group attends this hearing
- at this convocation this group proposes that exchange for “Racks” we will give them 3-4 of our more problematic “eating and drinking establishments”
This is a fair trade if you ask me. Pervs in exchange for public pissers and pukers. Anyone care to get the ball rolling and suggest an establishment or two we can re-gift to our comrades in Queens?
UPDATE: Naturally I had to brig this choice item to the attention of my colleague in Queens. Here’s Crappy’s take:
It’s not steps away from anything. It’s in an industrial area. She’s full of crap. And Astoria people aren’t going to Harlem to testify about anything. Not to mention this is illegally posted on public property.
You can (and should) read these posts authored by Queens Crap about this situation by clicking here and here. You see, it would appear that the real interests being protected here are those of a developer who has a stalled “mixed use” development nearby. I know. Shocking.
