Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Bottoms Up!
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
This fellow was the source of much bemused interest on the behalf park goers at the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch this afternoon. Unfortunately (or fortunately— it’s a matter of the beholder) the dulcet sounds emanating from the adjacent scrap metal establishment going about its business awakened this fellow from his slumber. Upon becoming aware that he was not alone this chap decided that perhaps this was neither the right place nor the right time to rock the “Coppertone” look. Happy Spring, Greenpointers!

It would appear the Dog Poop Project has expanded its operation to Greenpoint— and on one yours truly’s favorite blocks no less. Bravo!

As my walk by 125 Green Street this morning, May 2nd, attests: it’s never too late to discard last year’s Yuletide cheer…

I call this shot “Cutting Out The Middleman”.

P.S.: While I am on the subject of Barbies, it would appear Huron Street’s bathing beauties have moved on (hopefully to the Nature Walk) or have gotten a “taker”.

I encountered the above tableau on Huron Street while taking Ma and Pa Heather out to dinner this evening. They depart our fair city tomorrow, thus I was very pleased that they got to behold some bona fide Garden Spot magic before their departure. Methinks they were not as enamored of my find as I was. So much for “taste”. Anyway, the fellows sitting nearby (on stools, milk crates, etc.— those who reside on or near Manhattan Avenue between Huron and India will know exactly about whom I write) told me I was the sixth person they had seen photograph this exquisite piece of Greenpoint glory. No surprise there…

It’s almost two weeks now and as of this morning (11:42 a.m.) the McCarren Park Hypodermic Tree is still in effect. My dedication to documenting this caught the attention of a passerby. He too took a moment to capture this curiosity with his camera.
After asking me how long this had been there (I told him “about two weeks”) he noted it had been used and added:
Kids could get their hands on this. That’s not good.
Precisely.
