FOUND IN GREENPOINT: One Happy Beagle
This lovely lass was found by the proprietress of Reclaimed Home. She writes:
Found this dog on McGuinness and Greenpoint Aves wandering around. Female, no tags.
If you know who this beautiful beagle belongs to please email her good Samaritan at: info (at) reclaimedhome (dot) com.
If her rightful owner is not found she will be placed for adoption. If this becomes the case I will post an update stating how interested parties can go about giving this gal the loving home she so richly deserves. In the meantime let’s try to get her home!

P.S.: On a (somewhat) related note here’s something I learned courtesy of the peeps at Dog Habitat: you can report a found dog via 311!
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Dog Run?

Hi Heather
I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and I absolutely love it! I wanted to leave a comment on your recent post about Transmitter Park. I registered, but I still cannot figure out how to leave a comment? Help?
Basically my comment is this : Do you know if there are plans to include a dog run in the new park?
Thanks!
I will take up the matter of comments with this person directly. However, I will answer her second question here and now. No, there will not be a dog run at Transmitter Park.* However, one is slated for Bushwick Inlet Park. It will be located near Bushwick Inlet. The completion date methinks is 2012. In other words, it looks like Greenpoint dog owners (at least the ones up north) will have to schlep for awhile.

CLOSING FOR RENOVATIONS: Manhattan Triple Decker
The Mister and I discovered this today when we went for a little lunch at Manhattan Avenue’s very own Triple Decker Restaurant: they will be closed starting tomorrow, August 2, for renovations but promise to be back with “a new look & outlook”. Exactly what this means, I do not know. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Closed For Renovations August 2, 2010 – August 23, 2010 (estimated)

In the meantime those who are looking for a good diner will be pretty hard pressed to find one. Though Acapulco Deli & Restaurant is pretty good (TIP: try their salsa) but they usually close for two weeks in August. I have also heard good things about the burgers at New Tulcingo. If anyone reading this has some recommendations for decent diner fare located in and around the Garden Spot please share them via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!
