Spotted In Greenpoint: Mugginess

This made me LoL

Given the location in question is a trucker bomb’s toss from our local waste water treatment plant (the source of what we Greenpointers call “creek reek”), I’d say this typographical error is quite serendipitous. Great catch, Andrew!

Spotted On McGuinness Boulevard: Bklyn Hydro Garden

When I spied this on McGuinness Boulevard it gave me pause. Could this be the beginning of the greening of McGuinness Boulevard? If the wares inside are indication, I’d say it is a distinct possibility. I didn’t have time to check this place out (was headed to lunch). I will do so when the time affords itself. In addition, my green thumb (if one can call it that) is limited solely to jade plants. I see no reason to inflict my incompetence on innocent plant life. Those of you who are more horticulturally adept, however, might want to give this new establishment a whirl. It looks really neat!

When I ran a Google search for 316 McGuinness this came up. Most intriguing.
