Yes, folks: it would appear we have our second “found” pup in as many days. My tipster, Donna, writes:

Another found dog. He was found on Greenpoint Ave. tonight. He’s at Dog Habitat.

Anyone who has information as to whom this fella belongs should contact Dog Habitat via email at: rescue@doghabitat.org. Thanks!

UPDATE, 9:16 p.m.: Here’s this cutie after (quite) a bit of deforestation!

This fetching fellow (who was found at McGolrick Park) was brought to my attention by his current hostess: a lovely lady named Donna. If anyone knows to whom he belongs (or perhaps wants to provide him the forever home he richly deserves) please contact Dog Habitat via email at: rescue@doghabitat.org. Thanks!

Urban Artifact: Special April Fool’s Day Edition, Part II

(Or: If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!)

As today’s selections undoubtedly attest, there’s plenty of April tomfoolery and springtime mirth in the Garden Spot today. Without argument the highlight of my sojourn was bumping into one the Garden Spot’s more notable citizens/merry hooligans: Josef.

This, his latest opus, can be found in front of the Cafe Riviera on Manhattan Avenue.

Josef felt the piece of duct tape in the middle needed to be removed, so remove it he did. That’s when I decided to tender my two cents/expertise:

This doesn’t quite work. Something needs to go in this space.

He sprung into action.

The Word On The Street, Part II: Special DIY Edition

I am going to go out on a limb here and prognosticate that these missives are not D.O.T./city issue. Nonetheless, one does have to admire the craftsmanship. The party/parties responsible for these missive managed to actually drill these into said light post. I cannot imagine this was an easy task. That’s good ol’ Garden Spot ingenuity for you!

Yours truly’s favorite urban artifact (and de facto mascot for the Garden Spot) is not only upright once again, but he (?) has received an offering in the form of a toilet handle. Fascinating.
