Not only has “Jail Bear” weathered the storm but now he sports the initials “JB” on his chest. One would be safe to presume this stands for “Jail Bear”!

As discovered in front of the Thai Cafe today. The use of broccoli for hair is an inspired touch!

Cat Found: Please Spread The Word!
This lovely lass just walked into Propeller Coffee (984 Manhattan Avenue, between India and Huron)! She sports a collar, but no identification! If anyone knows to whom she belongs please shoot me an email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog. (dot) com. Presently the owner of said establishment, Clare (who is a cat person like yours truly!) is taking her to the vet in the hope she has a microchip.* Thanks!
UPDATE, 6:00 p.m.: She appears to have one. Yay!

Garden Spot snow storm survival tip: a grocery bag can be easily and effiectively repurposed as headgear. (I am not knocking it— I have done this myself!)

This endeavor (which can be found at 300 Nassau Avenue) was brought to my attention by the artist. Please take a moment to check it out more photos here. Well done, GILF!

Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This comes from the NYPD via an anonymous tipster:

On Monday, January 13, 2014 at approximately 0933 hours, the male suspect entered the Polish American Pharmacy located at 566 Leonard Street, displayed a handgun and told the victim to “give me the narcotics”. The victim complied and the suspect fled with an undetermined amount of prescription drugs. No injuries were reported at this incident.
A surveillance photo of the suspect is attached and available at DCPI.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

See that grey stuff? That’s Manhattan.
Yup.
Once again: Yup.
One more time: Yup.
The good news: the feral felines which North Brooklyn Cats (lovely ladies all) trapped, neutered and released appear to be doing well!
The bad news: the park bench* and fence** gracing this piece of much-needed “open space” are still submerged.
What’s more, they now have a most unusual urban artifact to give them company.
A safe.
Make that an EX safe.
Welcome to Greenpoint.
Repeat after me:
Graffiti— not landlord neglect; definitely not a lack of investment and especially NOT enforcement of the law by our fair city— is ruining the neighborhood…
*Aquatic since at least November 3, 2013.
**Wrecked since at least October 8, 2013.
Happy Birthday, Irene!
