New York Shitty Day Ender: DIY
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
Some of you, gentle readers, might have noticed I have a category on this site called “Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy”. What you have just seen is why this is so. As you can see, this fellow has (with the help of some duct tape) retrofitted a boombox into his own personal music device (and fashion accessory). What was on his “playlist”, you are wondering? Supertramp— which is as good a selection as any for a Sunday afternoon sojourn along Calyer Street. This just goes to show if you got something that works, who the hell cares what other people think? Just roll with it!
The Word On The Street, Part II: For The Love Of Big Brother (& Tomatoes)
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Yours truly encountered the above missive today at the intersection of Herbert and Humboldt Street. Exactly what would make these tomatoes especially desirable is beyond me. Perhaps the emissions from the off-ramp of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway impart to them some special flavor? I suppose only the thief knows for certain. In any case, methinks I’ll take the old fashioned route and acquire my produce at the grocery store. It is pretty clear this person means business.

I would like to take a moment to thank the folks at the New York City Parks Department for addressing the refuse problem at the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. Keep it up!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: 239 Banker Street, Revisited Once More
Curious to see the latest Stop Work Order issued to this property today I decided a trip to this, Greenpoint’s most (in)famous address, was in order. Not surprisingly, there was nary one to be found.
As you can imagine I found this quite fascinating. Thus, on a lark, I decided to see what gives on the Department of Buildings Information System.
It would appear that this property not only still has a standing Stop Work Order on it…
but they have wasted little time violating it!
To be continued, no doubt…
P.S.: Here’s a yet-to-be-investigated complaint yours truly found rather amusing.
Word of advice to “Zoey”: If/when advertising an illegal residential space in an Industrial Business Zone, it maybe advisable to refrain posting a photo of the building in question which clearly features a sign in the foreground that reads “Industrial Business Zone”.
