It’s been awhile since the I have revisited the matter of the deplorable state of McCarren Park’s “comfort stations“. This is in some part because I have been busy. But mostly it is because it grosses me out. Big time.

Soap scum on the soap holder.

Nothing new here.

The “Caution” tape has been removed.

Yet there still appears to be a problem.

But we have a spiffy new eco-friendly and awareness-raising hand drier!

I can only imagine what’s next. Educational bidets perhaps? I can only hope so. They’d be a fount of knowledge!

P.S.: Special props go to Laura Hofmann for these pix. The stagnant water in the bucket shot literally made me gag. And I have seen a lot of serious nasty shit in my time. Mazel tov!

My hat goes off to the peeps at Red Rose & Lavender (and Nature’s Revenge) for tickling yours truly pink with their ongoing and incredibly delightful re-purposing of this derelict construction site. Bravo!

This item has been brought to my attention by that dynamic duo, Tommy and Roy, better known as the Alter Boys. Tomorrow they, along with a number of other notable north Brooklyn businesses (like Kill Devil Hill!) will be selling their wares at the Mister Market. The whole shebang kicks off at noon. Why not swing by and see what they’re got cooking?

Mister Market
June 13, 2010 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Public Assembly
70 North 6 Street
Brooklyn, New York 11211

You can get more information about this event by checking out Mister Market’s web site.

In closing (and on a shameless self-promoting note) I’d like to remind everyone that the “closing reception” for my photography show at Creek & Cave is tomorrow starting at 3:30 p.m. You can get the full 411 by clicking here.

P.S.: Lest any of you are wondering why I put “closing reception” in quotation marks it is because I have gotten word that my show has been extended! And somehow “middling reception” does not strike me as being very snappy.
