Green Street Feral Dildo Watch: Still There!
While perhaps hardly surprising, I feel compelled to announce that as of the writing of this post, alas, the free vibrator and condoms offered at 145 Green Street have yet to find a loving home. Nonetheless this turn-of-events inspired a fit artistic inspiration in yours truly— and having a spare doll-sized boxing championship belt laying around I decided to act upon it!
I entitle this creation “Champ”! Now if you don’t mind, gentle readers, I am off to wash my hands…
P.S.: It is the author of this site’s utmost wish that whoever sees fit to eventually take these items will field test them on site before toting them home. Make it happen, Greenpoint magic!

For those of you who want to know where the action is going to be this week (regarding construction on Nassau Avenue) I present this— their latest bulletin!
Urban Fur: Stray Cat Strut
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Fur
While today is most certainly a bit brisk, that did not deter some of North ‘Point’s feral felines from catching a little sunshine! Closing on a related note (and although I have posted this already) the foursome lounging at left are in need of someone to help with their care! Tori, their “person”, writes:
Needed one or two colony caretakers for a feral cat colony of seven cats for morning feedings near West Street. Saturday morning, and one or two other mornings, to be fed at 830- 9 A.M. Caretaker provides food. All the cats are neutered/spayed and are delightful. Colony has several caretakers. Rewarding work. A brief training is available the first time; vbondart@hotmail.com
Please help spread the word!

Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
This item was brought to attention by Trish, one of the fabulous ladies behind Design.Plot (AKA: the garden slated to grace 216 India Street). This Wednesday, April 4th, at 7:00 p.m. they— along with Brooklyn Grange and Brooklyn Homesteader— will be having a grand opening party for Hayseed’s Big City Farm Supply, an “urban farming” pop-up shop gracing the Garden Spot this April, May and June! You can learn more about this endeavor at Hayseed’s web site. Check it out!

Closing on a related note today I sung by 216 India Street to see what’s shaking.

This hilarious— and yet mildly horrifying— offer can be found at 145 Green Street. Any takers out there?
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Passover At The Greenpoint Shul!
A lass named Marcia writes:
Hello Miss Heather! It’s that time a year again, to take out the wine and the matzah! We are having a first seder blow-out at the Greenpoint Shul on Friday April 6th and hope our local Jewish friends in Greenpoint in Williamsburg come dine with us, especially the young folks who haven’t been to our synagogue and experience our diverse melting pot of people tucked away on beautiful Noble St. Here are the details – thanks for posting!

Greenpoint Photo du Jour: Nassau Avenue
An unintended consequence of Nassau Avenue reconstruction as spotted this weekend: an ad hoc skate park! I’m glad to see the powers that be have seen fit to install pylons. They were needed— badly! As for the wisdom of skating on this stretch, well, that’s still open to question…
