The tipster who took the above photograph writes:
Open? Vacate notices removed and door propped open. There’s even someone shoveling sidewalk out front.
New York Shitty “glass half full” analysis:
At least they are cleaning the sidewalk.
New York Shitty “glass half empty” analysis:
There is still a Vacate Order on this property.

The bus to nowhere…
This bus has been stuck on our block (Engert Ave) since 7 am yesterday morning when I came out this morning the bus was still there but someone has spray painted the entire bus all the way around……now it kinda looks like a scene out of “The Warriors”…
…Can’t wait to see what’s in store for tomorrow, maybe garbage can fires inside the bus with heavily armed post apocalyptic 80’s punks….”Can yooooouuuuu diiiggg It”!!

New York Shitty Video Du Jour: Hot Roddin’
Filed under: 11222, BAD ASS, Greenpoint Magic, Greenwood Heights, Greenwood Heights Brooklyn
Today I endeavored to walk to Williamsburg and back. Many of the streets I encountered were impassable. A total fucking mess. No worries, on Banker Street I encountered two very enterprising Polish gentlemen who have found a way around this problem. In fact, I’d go so far as to say they took one great big lemon and turned it into a big ol’ vat of lemonade. Behold the Greenpoint glory for yourself!
It is stuff just as this, dear readers, that places the Garden Spot of the Universe head and shoulders about the rest. Take that, Williamsburg! We don’t need buses.

P.S.: If Mayor Mike is reading this, hire these guys. Yesterday.

Rounding today’s posts a wee bit early I leave you with this image of a very empty Bedford Avenue taken this afternoon. You can see this image in larger format along with a number of new photographs I took today by checking out my Blizzard 2010 photo set on Flickr. Enjoy!

Spotted On McGuinness Boulevard: Snowman
This little guy (or given the protuberances on the chest: gal) may not be much, but he is the Garden Spot’s first snowman of the season!
