Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Rock & Grow High School
(Or, Looking Good In The Neighborhood!)
I’ve noticed a number of changes at Greenpoint’s very own Automotive High School over the years. First there were musicals (Guys & Dolls). Last year they started a garden. That was pretty cool— but it is nothing in comparison to what they have created this year!
Raised beds with every imaginable herb, fruit and vegetable imaginable. Pumpkins, tomatoes, sage; you name it!
What I particularly adored was the furniture these youths created to accompany this much-needed (re)greening of Greenpoint. The above bench reads: AUTOHS.
And a rocker fit for a queen.
Or perhaps a king? In any case I cannot do justice to what this creation. See it for yourself!

LAST GASP: The Codfather
This cleverly named vessel, The Codfather, was caught by Miss Mousey Brown at Meeker Avenue at Frost Street in the heart of Italian Williamsburg. Great find!

Lest today’s content has not made it clear today I decided to take a trip “down south”. It has been awhile since I have had the time to knock around East Williamsburg and Bushwick. This is a shame, as I invariably find something interesting. This afternoon was no exception.
It was on Grattan Street that this cheerfully painted bathtub (pressed into service as a planter) caught my eye.
Upon closer inspection I discovered it was part of a larger al fresco living room suite.
The throw pillow is a nice touch, if I may say so myself. I am certain you have undoubtedly noticed (as I did) that the above-depicted street furniture clearly states it is not to be removed. Well, a sign affixed to a nearby chair sheds some light on this.
I cannot agree more. The “new” north Brooklyn is no place for such language. Get some fucking manners. Some of us have kids!
