Found On West Street: A Very Unique Gift Idea
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
This afternoon en route to our newest piece of public space I swung by Poo Corner to see how things are shaking. Aside from the above bag of poo I am pleased to report no new turdage! However, I did find something of a curious, if non-crap related— nature. Three feet away from the above-depicted “present” I found another plastic bag. Intrigued (and against my better judgement), I opened it see what was inside.
To discover a “gift-wrapped” coconut. Thoughts/insight, anyone?

What’s more, you’ll be supporting some immensely talented local artists in the process. Check it out!

Spotted At 931 Manhattan Avenue: Activity
Many north ‘Pointers are familiar with the above storefront. For a very long time it was a Polish restaurant named Damis. Since its closure, this space has seen a succession of short-lived restaurants (the latest being a diner). Well, today after taking the above photograph a very nice man on site informed me this, its latest incarnation, will be a sandwich shop. Let’s hope it sticks!

These shots were taken today at the newly-opened pop-up park on Java Street. Now if we could get some benches on the pier we’ll be all aces! NOTE/CAVEAT: if you decide to check this out be advised you can only gain entrance via Java Street.

*Whose “activity”, while not completely eradicated, has seriously diminished.
This makes only one shit (and a somewhat stealthy one at that) in four days.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Open!
On December 8, 2011 I wrote (in this post):
But alas, our Parks “Advocate” (and Parks Supervisor) are not reasonable people. This is why we have a “pop-up park” on my fair burgh’s waterfront which— while purported to have been “ready” in June (per the Deputy Director of OSA) and available to Nuit Blanche/East River Ferry patrons in October— is still closed to the general public.
Well gentle readers, I have some very good news to share! The newly-appointed gatekeeper of Java Street Park writes today, December 9, 2011:
I am the gatekeeper of that park at the end of java between india st pier entrance and java. you can announce that it will be open most days, depending on my sleep/work schedule, from about 7:30am to about 6pm
Bundle up and get down there Garden Spotters! NOTE/CAVEAT: As I learned this afternoon, you can only gain entrance via Java Street.
