From The New York Shitty Inbox: Lost!
A person we’ll call R writes:
Hi Heather,
My tormentor, aka my cat Flip Chazwick, has apparently taken himself on a bit of a walk about. He’s a reformed feral from BARC who is mildly domesticated, meaning he allows me to feed and worship him when in the house, but he also likes to spend a good deal of time out in our yard. We live over on Kingsland so he roams the gardens between Kingsland/Sutton and Nassau/Driggs. He has been gone over 48 hours and with the crazy construction on Sutton I am more worried than usual. If you could post our flier on your website I would really appreciate it.

Greenpoint Photo du Jour: Z & J Wine & Liquor
Clocking in at an impressive 192 proof, I’d hazard to guess if you drink enough of this stuff the odds are quite good you will end up in handcuffs.* (Whether or not they will have hearts on them is another matter, however.)
*Not that I write from personal experience, mind you.
Reader Contribution du Jour: McGolrick Park
Per the tipster who sent me the above image:
(Taken) 4/21, but he was there till 4/22 as garbage piled up around him. This is just an impossible, totally depressing situation. And personally, as someone who grew up in a house where substance abuse was present, it makes me relive the anxiety and sadness I couldn’t wait to get away from – that’s why I’m so sensitive to it, and why I HATE that my kids are exposed to it…
What’s That Smell?

(Or: Golden Shower At McCarren Park)
Upon having this aromatic golden stream of goodness brought to our Parks Advocate and (New York City Parks Supervisor)— for two weeks, no less— here’s what she had to say.
New York Shitty analysis:
- Is it appropriate for a civil servant to solicit (via auto-signature) for not-for-profit organization (this being Open Space Alliance North Brooklyn) in an email sent on our (the taxpayers’s) proverbial dollar?
- Indeed, the honey-dipper for this privy is not providing an acceptable level of service— at least when one port-o-let is being pressed into service for a ~1/2 acre of “green space”. I know because people are complaining to me in the hope I can actually do something about it.
- What does a comfort station at Abate Playground have to do with points #1 and #2?
- Just fix it already. Ever heard of Hepatitis?
