Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Special 100 Degrees Fahrenheit & Counting Edition
Today as I was walking around Williamsburg in the sweltering heat I made an interesting discovery: El Sol 25 (the artist responsible for the first three pieces gracing this post) has been amending his (?) work. To cite an example: the piece featuring Harriet Tubman originally sported Andrew Johnson’s head. You can see what I am talking about by clicking here, and here.

Daily Bloomblight: Roof Out
Filed under: 11211, Bloomblight, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This has to be a north Brooklyn first: ordinarily when I see a “roof out” symbol on a building it is being razed to build a turd like this (which hails from Scholes Street). I suppose the East Williamsburg building boom has come full circle.

Found On Vernon Avenue: “Piggy”
When I spied this critter while walking down Vernon Avenue recently I did a double-take. As I learned from the gentlemen hanging out at this community garden this is not at all an uncommon occurrence.
A lot of new people like you who are moving into the neighborhood are fooled by her at first.
Moses (the gentleman at right) said and then he told me I was welcome to come by and hang out at his garden whenever I felt like it. I thanked him for his gracious offer and inquired as to his sow’s name. “Piggy” was his reply.
I mulled this over for a moment and made a recommendation:
Perhaps you should put on a sign on the fence saying “WARNING: Premises patrolled by an attack pig”. Moses and his companion (who I learned was once my neighbor, he lived at Box Street and Manhattan Avenue eight years ago) gave this matter some thought and agreed that this might be worth pursuing.
I have promised Moses to bring a portrait of Piggy to him the next time I am in the neighborhood. If you happen to be around 119 Vernon Avenue why now say hi to Piggy, Moses and his pals? They’re really nice guys.

New York Shitty Day Ender: El Blablazo
Today as the Mister and I were walking to Animal Planet to purchase some cat food we noticed a flurry of activity at the El Blablazo tree. Something was clearly up, so we went in for a closer look.
I asked the man presiding over the scene if they were prepping for Puerto Rican Day (which is coming soon). He enthusiastically answered to the affirmative.
This is awesome.
