Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Polemic
I shun people not because I want to live quietly, but rather because I want to die quietly!

As promised, here is are some highlights of from my sojourn in the snow. It was nice to see kids (of all ages) out having fun. I regret to inform everyone no snow phalluses have been erected in McCarren Park— yet. But hope springs eternal and the day is still young. Enjoy!
And on that note, dear readers, I am off to take a nice HOT bath!

P.S.: I will be assembling a slide show of shots from today’s sojourn around north Brooklyn in a little bit. Need to defrost first!
Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Whitewash
A few thoughts:
- Whitewashing over a Vacate Order— next to perhaps drawing a red circle around said Vacate Order— only serves to draw more attention to said Vacate Order.
- How the hell can a building which is under construction get a Vacate Order? Then again, you can always trust Williamsburg to be on the cutting edge when it comes to such matters.
I guess the Department of Buildings is at long last taking a more pro-active stance when it comes to enforcement.

Quicklink: The Great Greenpoint Ugly-Off!
My buddy Joey over at Curbed was kind enough to bring this fugfest featuring two buildings from none other than the Garden Spot of the Universe to my attention. So which excrescence do YOU think is worse: 200 Franklin Street or 524 Manhattan Avenue? Personally (and I write this as the “tipster” mentioned in the photo credits) I lean towards 200 Franklin. It looks like am ionic air purifier date-raped a butt plug. Or as one commenter, Restless, puts it all too eloquently:
I’d be ashamed to be seen entering either one, but have to give the Eye Damage Award to 524 Manhattan — because it looks like Harry was serious, while we all know Karl scribbles his designs in his sleep, as therapy, hoping to transfer his nightmares to the world at large.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Point, click and vote fellow Greenpointers!
