Hongo Love: One Of Life’s Mysteries Solved
Filed under: Area 51
Life has a strange way of unfolding. Just over a week ago I wrote about the latest salvo of visual discomfort the MTA has seen fit to let advertisers inflict on public transportation patrons: Hongo Killer.
My immediate reaction to the above image was as follows:
- Why are they forcing us to look at people’s feet?
- This is kind of gross.
- I wonder if someone gets turned on by athlete’s foot?
As it would happen the junk shop recently got in a shipment of a very special nature. Among the “marital aids”, leather restraints and yes, enemas, was a stack of a magazines called Foot Fraternity. The following is a personals ad from the thirtieth issue.
So there have you. You go to the local pharmacy and outlay $8.00 for a tube of Hongo Killer or you can contact this guy and receive treatment for no money whatsoever. I suppose it is entirely a matter of priorities. Are you are a hongo lover or a hongo fighter?

Cell Mates
Squirrel is quite the spitfire, much to her neighbor Vera’s confusion as you will see in this short video taken from my visit to The Beehive today to meet the lovely kittens of Empty Cages Collective. I am pleased to announce that both of these lovely ladies having applications for adoptions pending, but there are still plenty lovely cats needing homes. I will be featuring an especially sweet adoptable tomorrow, so stay tuned!

…of the gentrification apocalypse has arrived in Greenpoint.
Its name is the “Yuppie Wagon”.
It is located on Greenpoint Avenue.
Greenpoint is dead. Long live Greenpoint!
Screw that— I want to know what this trailer portable loft conveniently located in the heart of the Historic District of Greenpoint rents for. I want to move UP-town!

Your Late Night Store, Rediscovered
Taylor, a fellow Greenpointer of Brooklyn Kitchen* renown tipped me off to a great old sign that has been unveiled at the former location of Bill Kirrane Realty: 517 Meeker Avenue. While pictures hardly do it justice, here are a few highlights.
Your Late Night Store… now available to rent from Capri Jet Realty!
What would this great old sign be without a contemporary juxtaposition with Mariusz Pudzianowski, the World’s Strongest Man!
What do you eat?

*On July 1st they’re having strawberry jam workshop for kids! Adult supervision is mandatory. It could get very sticky.

This is a quick reminder that tomorrow The Warsaw will be hosting Record Riot, a music lover’s extravaganza replete with beer and kielbasa. Marjorie of the fabulous Permanent Records will be on hand to represent Greenpoint. Why not pop by, get a little music, drink a little beer and say hi?

When I got home after running errands and sweating my ass off I was absolutely delighted to find this image added to my newly-created photo pool. It is by Katie Sokoler and (in my opinion) epitomizes the spirit of summer fun in the Garden Spot. Great shot, Katie!
