Hi Miss Heather,
I hope you are well.
I recall you once did a story on this. I found that sticker again, on a stop sign at the corner of Calyer and Newel.
I alerted 311 and the police, but I still found it up there when I biked by there 5 hours later.
As I have written before, these stickers are produced and distributed by a recognized hate group. If you happen upon one please report it to the police. STAT. In closing, here’s another such sticker I found recently on Manhattan Avenue.
Disgusting.

Tomorrow, May 8, starting at 2:00 p.m. they will be throwing a fundraiser at Greenpoint’s very own Diamond Bar whose proceeds will go towards beautifying and maintaining the Kent Avenue and Franklin Street along Bushwick Inlet. This is something which I can personally attest needs to be done. Check it out!

Greenpoint Video Du Jour: Fire Truck Chorus
As some of you, dear readers, might know your truly has been under the weather of late. I do not know if it is a cold (anymore) or allergies. Frankly it doesn’t matter: it sucks. In any case today I mustered up the energy and moseyed over to Monitor Street and Norman Avenue. You see, I have been voicing concerns with the transportation chair of Community Board 1, Karen Nieves, about road/sidewalk maintenance and congestion in this general area. The purpose of today’s sojourn was to document conditions at this intersection and Monitor Street in general. I was not only successful in this endeavor* but I came away with a little “added value”: making the acquaintance of a fire truck siren mimicking dog. Yes, you have read me correctly. But don’t take my word for it: without further ado, here it is. NOTE: listen carefully towards the end. Enjoy!
After the conclusion of this performance I inquired of his person this pup’s name. “His name is Zeus” she replied “and he thinks he is a god”. As do I, Zeus, as do I…

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part III: Free Sunflowers!
Remember Project Sunflower? Well the man behind this endeavor, Matt Barbieri, will be giving away sunflowers this upcoming Saturday to any and all interested Garden Spotters. Here’s the 411 per his email:
Project Sunflower is a non-profit organization that I have started with one goal in mind, to beautify all 5 boroughs. I hope to start achieving this goal by giving away sunflowers that will then in turn be planted by you wherever you feel needs a bit more color or on a plot of land that needs a bit of love. This Saturday from 10am to 12pm I will be giving away free, sprouted, mammoth sunflower plants. Come by, pick up a sunflower and grow your very own.
I look forward to seeing you between 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Saturday May 8, 2010
I will be on the sidewalk at 137 Dupont St, Brooklyn NY 11222 (easily accessible from the 7 and G trains)
First come, first served. One plant per person.
