You know times are truly tough when you start finding street sofas on cinder blocks.
Damn.

Williamsburg Street Furniture Du Jour: Kent Avenue & North 1st Street Revisited
June 26, 2010

It would appear that over the weekend the street seating on Kent Avenue and the west side of North 1 Street have joined their musical companion across the street.
Williamsburg Street Furniture Du Jour: Kent Avenue & North 1 Street
I found this curious trio of street furniture within eyeshot of each other at the intersection of North 1st Street and Kent Avenue while walking around Williamsburg today. The more eagle-eyed among you probably noticed that the latter-most item, a piano placed for the public’s enjoyment, graces a property that received a rather nasty missive a few of months ago. To refresh everyone’s memory it was authored by someone who called himself (herself?) “appalled neighbor” and was addressed to “medieval slum neighbors or transients”. Today I am pleased to report I saw no such nastiness. Perhaps music does, in fact, soothe the savage beast after all?

Lest today’s content has not made it clear today I decided to take a trip “down south”. It has been awhile since I have had the time to knock around East Williamsburg and Bushwick. This is a shame, as I invariably find something interesting. This afternoon was no exception.
It was on Grattan Street that this cheerfully painted bathtub (pressed into service as a planter) caught my eye.
Upon closer inspection I discovered it was part of a larger al fresco living room suite.
The throw pillow is a nice touch, if I may say so myself. I am certain you have undoubtedly noticed (as I did) that the above-depicted street furniture clearly states it is not to be removed. Well, a sign affixed to a nearby chair sheds some light on this.
I cannot agree more. The “new” north Brooklyn is no place for such language. Get some fucking manners. Some of us have kids!

There’s so much going on here that I like I will refrain from listing them. This photograph was taken by Carnade.
