Spotted At 817 Manhattan Avenue: Activity
This week we learned that Manhattan Avenue is to receive yet another cell phone provider: Verizon. Needless to say I was more than a little curious when I spied signs of life at Sprint’s former digs this afternoon. I struck up a conversation with the very nice man on the premises and as a result have some good news to relay. This space is slated to become something we can actually use: a hardware store! I did not get an ETA as far as when this establishment will open its doors. However, I did make it known to this gentleman that given such an establishment used to grace Sakura 6’s current home just this is addition to my community’s main drag would, in all likelihood, be quite welcome by my fellow Greenpointers.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Home Invasion At The Viridian?
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
You read me correctly, folks. None other than the head of the 94th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Hurson, has alerted me that a home invasion came to pass at 110 Green Street (AKA: The Viridian) involving two men— one of whom was sporting a fire arm— today. Thus far no arrests have been made.
This just goes to show that even a building with a doorman can be vulnerable to individuals with very bad intentions. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: be sure the front door of your building and apartment is locked at all times; be mindful of your surroundings and above all if you see something say something to the police. That’s what they’re here for!
