New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: NOTORIOUS
When I saw this at Union Square yesterday afternoon I simply had to ask the wearer if I may take a photo of it. She gladly agreed and noted that while the Notorious RBG elicits a lot curiosity, very few know what this is “about”. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Or, as I later opined to the Mister:
I wonder how many people in this country do not even know we have a Supreme Court— wait, I probably do not want to know this.
In any case, you those of you who are so inclined should check out the rather entertaining Notorious R.B.G. web site and I am linking to this, this and this because this is my blog and I find them entertaining. So there.

Abandoned theater. This happened by accident. I was shooting a long exposure and there was a light in the room behind me that one of my friends who was there was shooting and the light reflected back into the wall casting his shadow on the wall in front of me as I took the long exposure shot since it was almost pitch black in there.

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Live From Manhattan Avenue
Some of you may recall that not terribly long ago I authored a post admonishing motorists not to park in this space. Long story made very short, the bus stop which used to grace the corner of India Street Street and Manhattan Avenue, due to construction, had to be moved ~15 feet north. Therefore— in order to accommodate bus traffic— the parking space which straddles 983 and 983 Manhattan Avenue has been removed. Not that someone who is using the white line on pavement as a guideline would be aware of this, mind you. Although a sign has been erected the powers-that-be have not seen fit to change this. I suppose it goes without saying our meter maids have been enjoying this curious development tremendously.
Now jump forward to today, April 25th. The time is 4:57 p.m. What do I see? Well, the following photographs say it all…
It would appear:
- Even the Department of Transportation is not aware thsi parking space is, in fact, illegal. Or:
- They do not care.
I wonder if this person will get a ticket? (Just kidding.)

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Presenting Historic Greenpoint
A very nice fellow named Geoff writes:
Hi Heather,
I am a high school history teacher and my hobby is Greenpoint history. I have written a soon-to-be-published book on GP history called “Memorable Greenpointers.”
I would be grateful to you if you could give me a shout out and mention my blog: North Brooklyn History Blog.http://historicgreenpoint.blogspot.com/
It is about stuff I gleaned researching the book. I think some people might find it interesting.
Thanks…
I gave this site a look-see last night and I have to say it is pretty darned neat. Check it out!
