Today yours truly embarked upon a new project: walking Greenpoint Avenue in its entirety and documenting anything/everything I found interesting. While definitely a long-term project, I cannot resist wrapping up today’s posts with this photograph I took today in Blissville.

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.

New York Shitty Day Ender: A Stroll In Queens

As promised, here are some highlights from yesterday’s sojourn around Queens. Before we proceed I’d like to tender a few thoughts/teasers:
- I stumbled upon not one but two clownmobiles. Slap happy after four hours of walking I have fun with the owners of one of them.
- Just as in the fine borough of Kings if a patch of drying cement is left unattended in Queens someone will draw penis on it.
- After finding another “adult film” discarded by the railroad tracks on Skillman Avenue yours truly has decided to start a “found porn” map. Is anyone with me on this?
Without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!

Or want a pair— albeit somewhat worse for wear— but with a belt?
If so, head over to Review Avenue and get ’em!* Those Queens folks have all the fun. *sigh*
