New York Shitty Day Starter: And On It Goes

Looks like some more Loft Law “awareness”/“changing the script” needs to happen at 239 Banker Street.
Because the rest of us simply aren’t “getting it”.
P.S.: You didn’t really think I was going to quit showcasing the wretchedly comical farce that is this edifice? In any case “Joe” seems to specialize in room shares. For example:
But by far the following advertisement is my personal favorite.
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say the towel holders are what made this apartment jump $300 in the above listing.
As you can see, they are quite nice. Nonetheless, Bushwick is just that: Bushwick.

LAST GASP: (Not So Good) Vibrations?
This comes courtesy of the wonderfully dedicated folks at the Newtown Creek Monitoring Committee (via Facebook):
Vibrations are being felt by businesses near the Newtown Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (AKA: the Shit Tits — Ed. Note). If you live or work in the vicinity of the facility, and feel vibrations, you can call 311 and make a complaint. Be sure to get the complaint number and forward it to the NCMC liaison at nc(dot)mc(at)verizon(dot)net. The complaints help the committee to help you.
If you feel something, north ‘Pointers, say something— to NCMC!

This evening I was forwarded a most interesting piece of campaign literature which is being distributed at our local housing projects from an anonymous tipster. Without further ado, here it is:
Note that a cell phone number has been provided. So, I suppose, one can ask questions.* I wonder why nothing like this was circulated in Greenpoint? Anyone?
*Or simply pass it along— with a fully changed cell phones with unlimited minutes— to 50th Assembly District youths and tell them it belongs to Santa Claus. Not that I recommend this, mind you.
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Stuff Wanted
I stumbled upon this intriguing proposition while knocking along Manhattan Avenue this afternoon. Intrigued, I immediately looked up Ms. Rolsler’s project when I got home. It sounds pretty fun:
For her first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York–based artist Martha Rosler presents her work Meta-Monumental Garage Sale, a large-scale version of the classic American garage sale, in which Museum visitors can browse and buy second-hand goods organized, displayed, and sold by the artist. The installation fills MoMA’s Marron Atrium with strange and everyday objects donated by the artist, MoMA staff, and the general public, creating a lively space for exchange between Rosler and her customers as they haggle over prices. If customers agree, they may be photographed with their purchases. The project also includes a newspaper and an active website…. (You can read the rest here, folks)
Regardless of what you may think about conceptual art, gentle readers, Ms. Rolser wants your stuff— and on Saturday, August 25, between noon and 5:00 p.m. you can give it to her!
