See that grey stuff? That’s Manhattan.
Yup.
Once again: Yup.
One more time: Yup.
The good news: the feral felines which North Brooklyn Cats (lovely ladies all) trapped, neutered and released appear to be doing well!
The bad news: the park bench* and fence** gracing this piece of much-needed “open space” are still submerged.
What’s more, they now have a most unusual urban artifact to give them company.
A safe.
Make that an EX safe.
Welcome to Greenpoint.
Repeat after me:
Graffiti— not landlord neglect; definitely not a lack of investment and especially NOT enforcement of the law by our fair city— is ruining the neighborhood…
*Aquatic since at least November 3, 2013.
**Wrecked since at least October 8, 2013.

The Word On The Street: Java Street
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, The Word On The Street, Wow
As spotted across the street from the local Democratic Club. Is there such a thing as a log cabin Democrat? In any case, it sort of reminds me of grandma’s house. Well, except for the anarchy symbols and I never recollected her saying anything about insects’ weeping assholes. Grandma Heather was a lot more “old school” in that respect and simply inquired as to whether or not I had a bowel movement every time I patronized the bathroom. The fact that I, being a child, had no idea what a bowel movement was was irrelevant. Ah memories…
Urban Artifact: Special Rabbit Died Edition
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Artifact
This item hails from a tree pit on Java Street and was captured by a very nice fellow named Paul (who also happens to author the blog Daily Oliver). He writes:
Looks like the tree I found this next to might be pregnant!
In closing (and to borrow/adapt commentary from a friend of this fellow):
This brings a whole new meaning to the term “tree hugger”.
Cheers— or would that be congratulations— and thanks again Paul for letting me share this fascinating urban artifact!

Urban Artifact: $5

I happened upon this item on Java Street today. For those of you who are having trouble deciphering it, it reads as follows:
Bring $5 muney.
Innocent reminder (invoice?) or ransom note?
I’ll let you, gentle readers, make the call. Now if you do not mind, I am off to place this item on the Mister’s desk.
Greenpoint Real Estate Ad Du Jour: Cool

But of course. For $4,200 a month I demand to have only cool people for neighbors. I do not want my subway tile, chandelier and glass shower sullied by the presence of the hoi polloi. I’ll take two!

As spied on Java Street. Happy Friday everybody!
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: $2,000 Reward
Spied this while running a quick errand this afternoon. Not only does this flyer give a pretty through description of the incident and suspect, but it give the Detective to contact regarding tips and that a $2,000 reward is being offered. Although a suspect has been taken into custody, and there yet to be any word on that front, this information is good to know. Spread the word.
