This menagerie (which is located just off of Franklin Street) just keeps getting better. Note the addition of stuffed animals and Christmas lights to the tree truck. Very nice.

Miss Heather,
Well, Greenpoint drivers continue their reign of terror.
I’m writing to report a traffic crash at McGuinness Blvd and Huron Street at around 6:15PM. A driver, evidently speeding at what must have been way over the speed limit (50 mph?), hit a lightpole (knocking it clean off the sidewalk) and a parked car on the southwest corner. The driver appeared unharmed but shaken. Of course he was not ticketed or arrested. Witnesses report that the driver almost hit several people on the sidewalk and in the crosswalk. One witness said that the driver was swerving to avoid another car, which fled the scene.
FDNY blocked off the intersection, but NYPD did not direct traffic. This encouraged stupid drivers to drive over the sidewalk to get down Huron. One driver got confrontational and threatened to assault pedestrians when they were “in their way” on the sidewalk.
Photos attached.
Looks like Lofts 305 got an unexpected visitor.
Apparently this is the motorist that was threatening pedestrians.
An officer heads over to talk to the driver.
Damn.

Anyone out there know who this person is? Although I feel really corny writing this, I have to confess that these little guys always make me smile.

One of the things I love about Greenpoint (and New York City for that matter) is you can walk down the same street a hundred times and still find something new. Take these great grotesques which grace the front of 735 Manhattan Avenue, for example. Although they may appear to be identical in actuality they are not.
Do go down in person and check them out. They’re really neat!
