New York Shitty Day Ender: Al Fresco Living

sectional

Given the recent cognitive dissonance “controversy” over the so-called “shelter” on Milton Street, I felt a reminder of what the alternative has long been for Greenpoint’s homeless community was in order. Granted, this living room suite is located in East Williamsburg (if one cares/dares to tread further east there he/she will find a homeless colony), but you get the idea.

This post is dedicated to Ann and Jen of the Greenpoint Reformed Church and the manifold number of people— and there were/are many— who worked to ensure that ten of our neediest will have a safe, warm place to sleep on this cold winter night. Thank you!

East Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Going Green

This white Ford Bronco-cum-carbecque hails from White Street. While certainly rendered “green” by virtue of the fact it has been rendered non-functional (zero emissions!) I have to wonder which carbon foot prints is larger: the one made by its incineration, or the one which would have been generated if it had been allowed to continue its humble service? Anyone? O.J. Simpson, perhaps?

Freudian Warning: The use of pigs to represent capitalist desires of "having more" may be an unintentional slip. Please review. Thank you, Jilly Ballistic (W4th St Station; NY Lotto Ad)
