Great Moments In Product Placement: Crosstown Local Edition
There is a time and place for this sort of thing. 3:17 p.m. Tuesday afternoon on the Smith – 9th bound platform of the G train at Greenpoint Avenue is not one of them.

A Supremely Shitty Public Service Announcement
All you irresponsible dog owners listen up:
If you’re looking for a place to deposit your doggie dumplings head on down to 45 India Street.
You will find yourself in good company.
So much for the city increasing fines in the hopes it would motive people to pick up their dog crap. NASTY.

A Most Interesting Conversion
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
The fence is finally down at 946 Manhattan Avenue and although I am not too jazzed about the mismatched brick I have to confess: the finished product is much more tasteful than I had anticipated. My little voice told me that this looked like it was going to be an eating establishment so I headed over to check out the permits. It has been my experience that they can be an excellent source of information about such things. When I did I not only got confirmation that this space will in fact be a restaurant but I also got a little dark entertainment thrown in for good measure.
I am not by nature a superstitious person. As I walk through our hallowed streets I do not see dead people. Or if I do I cannot tell them apart from some of their living counterparts (who, it should be noted, usually call our local “Hotel” home). The previous having been written there are certain things that should not mix. Funeral parlors and eating establishments are among them. It’s sort of like converting a kennel into a Chinese restaurant.*
In any case I’ll be very interested to learn what is going to move into this space. If anyone reading this is “in the know” please share your scoop via comments. Thanks!

*I do not believe Chinese restaurants serve up fur kids for food. In fact I find this urban legend pretty offensive. I am merely using it here to illustrate my point. No offense is intended nor should be taken.

And while we’re at it why not drag a comb through that hair for chrissakes?!? Didn’t your mother teach you anything? Long Island City is a class establishment.

Ashley writes (in an email entitled “From the corner of Driggs and Leonard”):
Couldn’t resist sending you this one… have you seen it?
I must confess that no, I have not in fact seen this. However, it does remind me of something I saw recently on Keap Street.
WORD. WEIRD.

Long Island City Photos Du Jour: Before & After
If you’re out there reading this Karl Fischer…
The cool old power station in Long Island City you rendered into a steaming pile of Buck Rogers-esque of Post Modern crap (which you purportedly take much pride in)…
has been duly memorialized for posterity at 50th Avenue. Why not swing by and check it out?
It shouldn’t be very difficult to find.
