Greenpoint Videos Du Jour: Adoptable Cutie Cavalcade!
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I don’t know about you but the weather today is— to put it nicely— a bit rough. Instead of staying home with a case of the rainy day blues I decided to head over to Dog Habitat and meet a few of their newest adoptable cuties. They definitely made me smile and I am certain you will too. Without further ado here they are!
First up, we have Sasha. She is an eight month old Staffordshire Terrier mix rescued from the Center for Animal Care and Control. She’s a bit shy but nonetheless very sweet. I’ll let Jay take it from here.
Next up we have Monkey. Not only is he too is a Staffie mix rescued from the Center For Animal Care and Control but he lives up to his name! It was very difficult to shoot a photograph of Monkey because he was more interested in giving puppy love than aping for the camera— as you’ll see!
For those of you who fancy furkids of the more diminutive variety I present for your Saturday afternoon entertainment this sweet pair of Chihuahua/Jack Russell terrier mixes: Milo (as seen above) and his more outgoing brother Hootie.
Last up, a little something for the cat lovers. A comely one year old chap named Westly. Not only is he very friendly, but he sports some, um, interesting assets.
Those of you who care to know more about the “markings” referenced in the previous video can click here for the reveal. Anyone who is interested in providing a loving home to any of these lovely (and loving) furkids should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (347) 601-8678 or via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Dazed & Confused
When I saw this today I wondered if Chris, the proprietor of this establishment, was merely being mischievous or if this missive was addressing a bona fide problem. Although I have known this chap for some time even I can never tell for certain. After all this IS the man whose front window was once graced by a very real cooked turkey with, um, benefits for three whole days. I decided to settle the matter for once and all: I asked Chris what gives. His answer might surprise you.
Chris assured me that there has, in fact, been some confusion. Despite the awning gracing this property (which you can see clearly indicates spirits are sold therein) and posters in the window advertising discounted liquor some have inquired about footwear. Or have been upset that their liquor store is now shoe store— he didn’t indicate which. Given the near insurrection I beheld at a local pharmacy recently when their lotto machine was down (and thus could not issue tickets or give payouts) I would hazard to guess it’s the latter.

East Williamsburg: it’s not for the feint of heart.

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Question Of The Day
Have you ever asked yourself what is the difference between Greenpoint and the Ninth Ward of New Orleans other than, say, the latter was pulverized by a cataclysmic force of nature? If so, today I learned the answer.
According to a scouting agent for HBO, apparently nothing.

P.S.: I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this.
UPDATE, March 11, 2010: It has been brought to my attention by several folks that Treme will be shooting footage in Greenpoint that will actually depict New York City. I know, I know. I’m just as surprised as you are. Especially in light of the fact a substantial part our fair nabe’s waterfront has been given a make-over so as to imitate Atlantic City and there are in fact parts of Greenpoint that look like they have been on the business end of the wrath of god.
