Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Laundry Day
Filed under: 11211, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
I was asked recently by a curious citizen exactly what is slated to grace this rather sizable lot (which is located at Leonard Street and Meeker Avenue). As it would happen I know because I attend the Community Board Land Use Committee (ULURP) in which this is discussed. Prepare yourselves: it’s good news!
There will be two residential apartment buildings on this property: one will be market rate, the other affordable housing. The reason this was discussed at a “ULURP” meeting is the developer wanted permission to add residential units to the previous in exchange for building the latter. I saw the plans, materials to be used, etc., and I have to say what they have in mind is mighty nice. This is really saying something given Karl Fischer is the architect. I was especially pleased to learn the garden area they plan to build-out will be accessible to/shared by both buildings!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Coming At You From Castle Hill, Bx…

A fellow named Matt writes (in an email entitled “Thought this would make you proud”):
Spotted out in Castle Hill in the Bronx!
For those of you who are wondering what is going on here, I’ll explain. Some upstanding (and I suspect upset) member of this community has seen fit to print out a post I authored years ago outlining the Canine Waste Law. As you can see he (she?) has not only affixed this missive to what I presume to be a telephone pole, but he has gone to the added trouble of “weather proofing” it. I am particularly moved by the latter— and yes, this makes me quite proud! Thanks for passing this along, Matt. It made my day!
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Found On Greenpoint Avenue
A very nice fellow named Dave writes:
dunno if you can help but maybe you can –
i’m attaching a pic of a cute little guy that showed up at my windowsill a little while ago. he’s in my kitchen now, segregated from my other 2 guys in the living room. the situation is tense.
he’s got a collar but no name. just a Chicago anti-cruelty Society # 312.644.8338. no clipped ears and pretty friendly i hope he’s just lost.i live at the corner of manhattan ave and greenpoint ave. heavy traffic.
please repost in hopes of home
Done! If anyone reading this knows to whom this fellow belongs— or wishes to provide him a foster home— please contact Dave via email at: dmblenk(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks!
