Urban Feather: Wednesday
When I saw the pink plumage I had to go in for a closer look. When I did I learned this festively fettled lass’s name is Wednesday. And today— a Friday— she made quite a splash on Manhattan Avenue!

P.S.: For those of you who are wondering, Wednesday’s plumage was given a vibrant bright pink hue with food coloring.

This lovely (if a bit chubby) lass is named Beauty and she keeps a careful watch over her place of employ: World of Flowers.

After yesterday’s delightful offering of Chuckie’s head impaled on a car antenna outside our world-famous waste treatment facility I feel compelled to share some more poppet goodness from the New York Shitty photo pool. Without further ado, here they are.

And last— but hardly least— a little something from the Garden Spot shot by yours truly.

New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: Naugahyde With Benefits
Filed under: 11211, Bloomblight, Street Furniture, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Okay, this specimen is not technically a street couch: I spied it through a peep hole in construction fence on Gerry Street. However, I felt the magnificent melange of material (including a broken figuring of the Virgin Mary) gracing said sofa merited a mention. Closing on a related note, I am pleased to announce there is a Flickr group dedicated to showcasing world-wide street seating. It is called Sofafree!! and it can be seen by clicking here.
Oh yeah, here’s my favorite of the lot. It hails from Vancouver.

Quicklink: Waste “Management”
Filed under: 11101, 11222, Blissville, Blissville Queens, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Maspeth, Newtown Creek
Queens Crap recently received a real gem in his “crap box”: a Department of Sanitation memo outlining how waste is to be transported hereabouts. If you have ever wondered about this kind of thing (and I know you’re out there) here is the answer in a nutshell: it entails shuttling material from Long Island City through Greenpoint to Blissville.
Don’t take my word for it: point and click your way over to Queens Crap and see it for yourself! Reading is believing.

This item was brought to my attention by my buddy across the creek, Queens Crap. Tomorrow starting at 9:00 a.m. the folks at the recently re-launched Phun Factory will be hosting Old Tymers Day: a collaborative project by over 50 graffiti artists from the 1960’s – 1980’s which will give North 15 Street and its environs a much-needed makeover! You can learn more about this event and Phun Factory by heading over to the latter’s temporary web site. Check it out!
Old Tymer’s Day
