New York Shitty Day Ender: Live From Newtown Creek

While prognosticated, the rapture did not happen today. Or if it did I was left behind and am ready, willing and able to process copious amounts of photographs and video footage from my Newtown Creek experience. Before we proceed here are some interesting facts/observations:

• Courtesy of a nearby radio station the Kosciuszko Bridge is “live”. In other words when men perform maintenance on it they must be “grounded”.
• The sour mash from breweries which formerly dotted the creek were fed to cows and their milk (which was reputed to taste rather  awful) was then sold to orphanages at deep discounts. For this reason the product was called “orphan’s milk”.
• The “product” from our local waste treatment plant is dried into cakes (their words, not mine) and sold on the open market as fertilizer.
• After a week of heavy rainfall Newtown Creek is awash in Coney Island whitefish.
