Overheard In Williamsburg: Glass Houses
Ordinarily I would hand something like this off to my friends at Overheard In New York but this one is too damned good NOT to post here. Sorry folks!
I was walking down Roebling Street at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon when a group of 15-something young men rounded the corner and proceeded to walk in front of me. I was trying not to pay attention to what they were talking about but after I overheard the following corker I was hooked:
…(she) said don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house. I don’t live in a glass house; I live in the projects. That’s what I told the teacher!
God I love teenagers.

Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Bedford Avenue Bunny
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This post goes out to Greenpoint’s most famous citizen, Edie the strap-hanging hamster. It may have taken a brain trust years to build the Internet, but it only took one very cute rodent to crash my site. Repeatedly.
