New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: Greenpoint Scrap Metal

This post goes out to my new friend Dan* at Greenpoint Scrap Metal for taking the time to ask his boss if yours truly could have a tee shirt from this establishment. Here’s a snippet of my conversation with him for your edification:

Hi, I met a guy wearing a shirt advertising your establishment on Manhattan Avenue earlier this week. I was wondering if I could buy one?

Dan: I am the “assistant to the assistant”, I’ll have to ask my boss.

Me: You’re a very smart man. It’s always best to be the second in charge. That way you can kick that shit uphill.

Dan:

It depends on which way the wind is blowing.

Me:

I like the way you think!

And with that Dan motioned for his boss to come over, they conversed; and, well, the rest is herstory!

Thanks Dan. You’re the man!

*Who was kind enough to tell me— in detail— what he would like to see my person wearing (his boss concurred). I will not go into details but suffice it to say it was not corporate casual. Sorry Dan, you’ll just have to be content with the knowledge that I’ll be sleeping with Greenpoint Scrap Metal starting tonight!

Best little park in NYC, with the awkwardest name. I’m going to miss having it a block away.

This is a far cry from the Taco Bell/KFC of old where one could (and in my case did) find men shooting up in the bathroom.

Tonight’s CB1 meeting was not terribly lively— but I did learn something that will undoubtedly be of interest to Greenpointers be they for or against the proposed homeless shelter slated for 400 McGuinness Boulevard: Monday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. a hearing will be conducted at our very own Polish National Home. This will be presided over by the Public Safety Committee Chair (and all around bad ass): Mieszko Kalita. I admonish each and every Greenpointer reading this to make it a point to attend and have your say!

Hearing Regarding The Proposed Homeless Shelter at 400 McGuinness Boulevard
September 27, 2010 starting at 6:30 P.M.
Polish National Home
216 Driggs Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11222
