Reader Contribution Du Jour: Which Kind of Greenpointer Are You?
Filed under: 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Culture War, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Today I was experiencing a case of the winter doldrums so I opted to go for a little walk. I’m glad I did because I bumped into my buddy Seth. I have not seen him in awhile so I was curious to see what he was up to. As were walking he asked me if I had seen his “chart”. I told him I had not. Over coffee at Franklin Street Pizza he drew it for me. Here it is.
It is Seth’s desire to do a public presentation of the above data. I for one think this is a splendid idea (because I simply cannot do it justice). Any takers out there?*

Remember that vote about how the ~$7,000,000 of funds the DEC recently allocated against nearly 40 years of being non-complaint with DEP regulations should be spent? Well, here are the results.
One thing I found of particular interest was individuals under the age of 21 we classified as “youth votes”. It rather bothered me, truth be told. If 18 years of age is good enough for city, state and national elections (and registering for the draft which would theoretically— if not in reality— result in some of these youths being sent to fight for their country) why are these individuals not classified as adults? So I emailed David Rivel (of the City Parks Foundation, which conducted this process) to ask why.
And here’s his answer.
So there have you.
