THIS WEEKEND: McCarren Park Clean-up

This item comes courtesy of the folks of HUH: Hipsters Uniting Hipsters. The premise is easy enough: starting at 11:00 a.m. this upcoming Sunday they will be hosting a clean-up of McCarren Park (to which they refer to as being “The World’s Largest Toilet”). Yours truly thinks this might be a bit of a stretch— but let’s face facts: it is in dire need of some TLC. Check it out!

Well, not really— but I have seen a serious proliferation of these fliers in the neighborhood recently. This suggests there is a problem. I have not seen ’em here— but perhaps, gentle readers, you have? If so, please send me your rat spottings, rat travails or, best of all; the 411 as to why this campaign has been initiated in the first place via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Your identity will remain anonymous if you so desire.

Thanks!

New York Shitty Video du Jour: Live From McCarren Park

It would appear that the Vagina Tree’s parting gift, a felled lamppost, has been re-purposed as a skateboard ramp.
