I’ve been told four new raised beds are in the works as well. Check it out!

When I spied the eyes of this chap upon me I inquired of the woman on the stoop as to his identity. She told me his name was “Texas” and he belonged to a woman who works at a shelter on Wythe Avenue. By this I presume she meant BARC.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Goodbye, Manhattan Furrier

A woman named Jennifer writes:

I’m a longtime resident of Greenpoint and I’m making a documentary about Irving Feller, the furrier who owns a shop at 685 Manhattan Avenue. After 60 years of business, he is finally closing shop at the end of the month. We will be there this Saturday, March 19th from 12pm-5pm. If anyone wants to swing by and buy up his native american jewelry & vintage fur coats…or simply give their regards…I know he would appreciate it. Greenpoint is losing one of it’s finest gems…the era has finally ended.

How much do you want to bet, fellow Greenpointers, this space will be occupied by an(other) “eating and drinking” establishment? Emphasis on the latter.
