‘Tis The Season: Christmas-a-cue

December 22, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

While some might interpret a conspicuous display of wattage as being holiday spirit, I  find the more humble and creative Christmas concoctions more compelling on occasion. CASE IN POINT: this find from North Henry Street. It has all the essential Greenpoint elements:

  • Patriotism
  • Barbecue
  • A Santa hat
  • and other pagan accouterments

Beg to differ my analysis? Why not go there and take it up the matter with the creators of this item. This Christmas-a-cue has “kick ass” written all over it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Diego Needs A Home!

Rebecca (who sent the above photographs) writes:

Diego was recently deposited at my house by his owner, who has been evicted from his home and is essentially homeless for an indeterminate period of time.  As I’ve known Diego since he was a puppy, I would really like to find him a home before I just leave him at the ACC or
some avenue such as that.  Diego is 1.5 years old, 110lbs, fixed, housetrained, crate trained, and adorable.  He has an AMAZING temperament, even for a puppy.  He was trained by a horse trainer, so walks incredibly well on a leash.  It makes a big difference when 110lb dog knows not to pull!  Attached is a YouTube video of him playing tug-o-war with my 9-year old pit/boxer mix, and some photos. He’s great with other dogs, and lets her be dominant and put him in his place.  Any help that you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.  Diego deserves a good home, and not a short life. THANKS!!!

Thanks again for your help!!!

Anyone interested in providing Diego the loving home he deserves should contact Rebecca via email at: rbeshenk(at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part I: A Question About Internet Service Providers

December 21, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

Alicia writes:

Hi there,

I recently moved to Greenpoint and as the blog-guide to my new hood I thought you might have a tip on internet service providers in the area.  It’s a boring inquiry, but advice would be extremely helpful.  My realtor said my options are either Time Warner for cable internet or Verizon for dsl internet.  How’s your service? (Speedy?  Not so speedy?)  And what is the dollar per month of surfing the net status?

I have tendered my opinion about Verizon to Alicia (oh, did I ever). However, I would like to hear my fellow Greenpointers’s take on Internet service providers so she can have a more fair and balanced picture of what is available here. Please share your thoughts/experiences via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!
