What’s Up At 1008?
A number of my fellow Greenpointers have probably noticed activity at the long-vacant storefront at 1008 Manhattan Avenue (as seen at left). Well, I happened to be walking by recently and I asked the woman working inside, a very nice lady named Kim (who happens to be a Greenpoint resident in her own right!), what’s up. She told me she is opening a hair salon on the premises and hopes to be up and running in a few weeks— provided all the paperwork is in place.
Salon (name t.b.a.)
1008 Manhattan Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11222
OPENING DATE: September-ish
Given how under-served north Greenpoint is in terms of businesses— ANY BUSINESSES*— that serve the needs of the community this may very well prove to be a positive development. What’s more, this establishment will be run by a Greenpointer for Greenpointers— and I think that’s pretty darned neat! Why not swing by and wish Kim luck?

New York Shitty Day Ender: Macabre On Manhattan Avenue
I’m not too sure where Chris (the proprietor of T & N Wine and Liquor) is going with this— but I like it! The addition of the black light is an inspired touch.

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Made In The Shade
Ever had one of those moments when you find yourself saying:
Gee, I wish I had thought of that!
I’ve been having a number of those lately. Yesterday it was discovering (and partaking of) the genius that is donut ice cream sandwich. Today it is this.
This just goes to show that Greenpointers exercise considerable resourcefulness and imagination when it comes to enjoying a New York Shitty summer afternoon. No trees, no problem: this chap has it made in the shade! Bravo, Green Street hammock man! You are an inspiration to us all!
