From The New York Shitty Inbox: Wanted For Questioning

This comes from the 94th Precinct via an anonymous tipster:

The New York City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance identifying the following three individuals wanted for a burglary which took place on April 6, 2012 inside of a house located on Meserole Avenue in the confines of the 94 Pct. The victim M/W/86 was approached at his residence by three individuals posing as construction workers. One of the suspects lured him into a bathroom claiming that he had to inspect the windows. The other two suspects went into the victims bedroom and removed money.

Video of the suspects is attached

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

At long last, a site documenting the other side of the New York City real estate boom! As you can see in the above screencap, north Brooklynites, our area is quite red. The mad genius behind this endeavor writes (in an email entitled “Weekly updates of stalled construction sites in NYC”):

To wit I replied:

Check out this roster of Bloomblight for yourself, north Brooklynites—and perhaps bring it to the attention of your elected officials?

Today while strolling down Broadway I spied a new (and very cute) face. One which, as you can see, needed a little prompting from his people to pose for the camera. His name is Chiquito (Little Boy) and he calls Broadway Hardware his place of enjoyment!

It would appear instead of erecting “Kent Av” signs on each block of Kent Street (which while incompetent, would at least be consistent), the Department of Transportation got this corner correct!

They have been “fixed”! Mind you, the signs were (apparently) in need of replacing in the first place did their job quite well. Rather, this was (and is) a matter of typography, geography, bureaucracy and incompetence. Please excuse me if I am being redundant.
