This missive (which hails from Broadway) has a certain pathos to it I found compelling.

Spotted On Bushwick Avenue: Coming Soon

My curiousity was when I saw this long-vacant store front on Bushwick Avenue so I asked one of hte owners, the woman in the above photograph what gives. She told me they going to open up an “eating and drinking establishment” serving American fare which will be sourced out to local businesses. Intriguing.

In any case, she and her partner currently operate a watering hole on the Southside, East River, and this serves as a good a reason as any to remind everyone that the social event of the season— that being this month’s Public Safety Committee Meeting— will come to pass tonight (Cinco de Mayo!) at Greenpoint’s very own Polish National Home. If the proceedings (NOTE: the proposed “moratorium” on liquor licenses is slated to be discussed) are anywhere near as acrimonious lively as this week’s Parks & Waterfront meeting I’d say north Brooklyn is in for a memorable evening.

This vision comes courtesy of a chap named Eric. He writes:

I attached a pic you might find interesting.  It’s the stop sign on Greenpoint and West, right in front of Red Star.  Yesterday a car almost hit two little kids on bikes in the intersection.  The guy got out of the car to check on the kids, they were fine.  I told him he blew the stop sign and I could tell he honestly didn’t even see the stop sign.

The geniuses at DOT put the “Bike Route”  AND the parking regulation signs right in front of the stop sign!  I never noticed it until yesterday.  It creates a potentially dangerous/deadly situation.

Indeed.
