I happened upon this curiosity while waiting— and waiting— for the B43 Bus at Nassau Avenue. After coming to the realization that the schedule posted is either a work of fiction or a VERY general guideline I decided to while away the time by checking my email. I found it rather apropos given the rather malodorous “perfume” which emanated with every passing Crosstown Local train beneath my feet. In any case folks: the neighborhood, it be a changin’.

Greenpoint, where affluence and effluence go hand-in-hand.*

*Props go out to my buddy Larry for this piquant observation.

Those of you who want to give a helping hand to our feral furry friends, here is your opportunity. The very nice folks of Neighborhood Cats need human helpers for a “TNR” (Trap Neuter and Return/Release) project right in our own backyard! Those who wish to volunteer or learn more about this project should email Lois or tnr (at) neighborhoodcats (dot) org. Be sure to indicate “TNR Project Greenpoint” in the subject line. Thanks— and spread the word!

The aptly-named Prince protects the cat litter against theft at Pets On The Run. Is it just me, or do I sense a stellar product endorsement deal here?

A compelling piece about the ten tower development slated to grace Greenpoint’s waterfront. Yours truly found it compelling that, for example, George Klein (the fellow behind this endeavor) made a$2,500 campaign donation to Christine “Bloomberg’s Fourth Term” Quinn’s Mayoral campaign. Do take a moment and give this a read!
