Urban Fur: What’s In A Name?
When I saw this handsome face peering out of the newly face-lifted Franchesca Mini Market I simply had to make his acquaintance.
As you can see he is quite a friendly fellow. So much so I inquired as to this urban lion’s name. “Sueno” is what I was told. I noted this meant “dream” or “sleep” Spanish to wit they noted:
We named him that because he sleeps all the time.
I guess I caught him resting between naps!

THIS WEEK: Environmental Protection Committee Meeting
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This week is proving to be a busy one for our local Community Board. Yesterday I shared the Parks & Waterfront Committee’s rather anemic agenda, today I offer something a mite bit more substantial: the agenda for the Environmental Protection Committee. There are a number of items of interest. Specifically: the location of a gasification plant at our local waste water treatment plant; a discussion of the nighttime piledriving at same said facility, drainage problems in and around McCarren Park including what is commonly known as “Lake McCarren” (as seen at left) and OUTRAGE (whose latest blog post can be found here). Check it out!

If this rather concise agenda for our Community Board’s Parks & Waterfront Committee is any indication, this may very well happen! Those whose curiosity is piqued (mine certainly is) mark your calendars!
