Attention Greenpointers!
(OR: “Girls” wants girls— and the rest of you to move your cars)
The New York Observer writes:
From an official Girls casting notice posted to Backstage.com, we now know what “hipster” typecasting looks like:
Seeking—Hipster Types: male and female, 18-30s, all ethnicities, all types, specifically seeking people with tattoos, piercings, colored hair, and unique looks. Young Adult (ages 18-29), Thirties (ages 30-39). Caucasian/White, African-American/Black, Latin/Hispanic/South American, Asian, Native American (!!! — Ed. Note), European, Middle Eastern, Indian/South Asian, Other.
Truth be told, I really hate going after low-hanging fruit like such as this— but “Europeans”?!? I just about shot Zywiec out of my nose reading that corker. Perhaps “Girls” will spot a few when they film in “Little Poland” tomorrow? That’s right, Greenpointers. Tomorrow. May 18th, 2012.
The areas impacted are:
- Manhattan Avenue between Java and Green Street and
- India Street between Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street.
The tow trucks show up at 2:00 p.m. Why not leave a curricula vitae and a headshot on your dashboard, Garden Spotters?

Deputy Inspector Hurson of the 94th Precinct writes this evening at 10:08 p.m.:
Thanks for posting the picture of the bike however no luck yet finding the owner. FYI my cops found Roger the dog last night he was happily reunited with his owner today.
Spread the word!

New York Shitty Analysis
Glass half-empty: Someone operating a motor vehicle (possibly under the influence) has rendered this trash receptacle two dimensional.
Glass half-full: Considerate citizens, undeterred, are still pressing it into service
I’m going with the latter.
New York Shitty Day Starter: A Request From The Head of the 94th Precinct

D.I. Hurson writes (on May 16th):
Today we arrested someone in the act of stealing a bicycle (which is as easy as finding a needle in a haystack). The problem is we can not find the owner. Could you post a picture on your blog to help identify the owner? The bicycle was stolen from Leonard and Greenpoint today.
Done! If this bike belongs to you— or you know to whom it does belong— please swing by the 94th or give them a ring at (718) 383-3879.

I am going to take the glass bowl half-full approach and assume that Ms. Sewell meant May 18th. Our great olfactory nightmare is over, Greenburgers!
UPDATE, 2:11 p.m.: It has been reconfirmed! Our new port-o-let will be delivered Friday!
