New York Shitty Carbecque Watch: The Great Gatsby
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, Carbecque, Criminal Activity, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn
It’s been a while since yours truly has stumbled upon a carbecque. Fortunately today yours truly went for a nice long walk. It was at the intersection of McKibben and White Street I discerned a familiar aroma. I followed my nose.
Note the pair of pants in the foreground. It has been yours trulys experience that many a dramatic situation begins— or ends— with someone losing his or her pants. Let’s go in for a closer look, shall we?
Here’s a rear view.
Here’s a shot of the interior.
An unharmed copy of Fundamentals of Statistics graces the backseat.
Outside one can find a chemistry manual. But what piqued my interest is the book at the bottom left-hand corner.
Is that what I think it is?
I asked myself. So I knelt down to take a closer look.
(priceless)

This (which hails from the intersection of Berry and North 12 Street) is the second such item I have found in as many days. I have to confess: I rather like them!

Nanu Needs Help
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Anyone who is familiar with Empty Cages Collective knows the the founder of this organization, P.J., is very dedicated to protecting the welfare of all our city’s critters. Given today is his birthday I feel compelled to pass along the story of Nanu. Per Empty Cage Collective’s ChipIn page dedicated to her:
Nanu was recently rescued from a neglect situation by Empty Cages Collective. She was dropped (literally) by her previous guardians resulting in two terribly damaged knees and legs. After being denied care for this issue, Nanu developed a life threatening infection. Empty Cages Collective found out about Nanu’s plight from another rescuer and rushed into action to help her. After receiving emergency surgery for a runaway pyometra infection, Nanu went to an ECC foster home to recuperate.
She has recovered from her infection very well. She is incredibly sweet and lovable, and very snugly. But she can’t walk… yet. Surgery will provide Nanu with an opportunity to walk and even run and jump again…
You can read more about Nanu and tender a donation towards her medical expenses by clicking here. Happy birthday P.J.!

Three Greenpoint Cats Need Your Help!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Max, approx 10 years old, neutered male, FIV positive.
Daisy, approx 10 years old, spayed female.
Bethany, approx 7 years old, spayed female.
A number of folks have brought the plight of this threesome to my attention. Long story made (very) short, these cats recently had the misfortune of finding themselves at Animal Care and Control, a kill shelter, because their person (a Dupont Street resident) died. You can read more about their story on the Facebook page my friend Lisa was thoughtful enough to create. Anyone interested in providing a home for Max, Daisy and Bethany should contact Neighborhood Cats via email at lois (at) nycferalcat (dot) com.
Thanks— please help spread the word!
