Greenpoint Photo du Jour: Dissonance
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Sometimes it’s tough being Peter Gabriel in a Phil Collins world. This is for all the Peter Gabriel fans (or lovers of rubber suits) out there…
P.S.: This act kicked off a philosophical discussion with a couple chaps hanging out outside the entrance to the G train (and there always are men hanging at this location). I told one of them that while I really had no strong feelings about either Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel one way or the other, I felt the voice of those who prefer the latter should be heard. I also added I liked flowers and rubber suits. They agreed that this made perfect sense. They also concurred with me when I said we live in a strange and very wonderful place.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: DOA on Manhattan Avenue?

I arrived home from this evening’s Public Safety Committee meeting (which, it should be noted handles criminal matters) to find this item (which hails from NYScanner) in my inbox. I have reached out to the head of the 94th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Hurson, in the hope he can shed some light on what happened. It goes without saying that if/when I learn anything, I will post an update here.
UPDATE, March 2, 10:55 a.m.: I have received a clarification from D.I. Hurson! He writes:
I don’t see anything for Greenpoint and Manhattan ave, we did have a DOA last night inside of 1109 Manhattan Ave but we don’t believe it to be suspicious.
For those of you who are not in the know 1109 Manhattan Avenue is the Greenpoint Hotel (hence perhaps a transposition was made?). This is one of our community’s, um, notorious establishments.
