Reader Contribution Du Jour: Goodbye Kitty

newtowncreekkittehLAnys

As discovered by my buddy Larry while pounding around  Newtown Creek today. Perhaps we should hook her up with the Greenpoint Avenue teddy?

Urban Artifact: 370 Days & Counting!

While on the one hand I was rather despondent to discover the kitty has seen fit to leave, the Greenpoint Avenue Teddy has crossed the one year mark in his watch. Here’s looking at you, kid!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Horsecrap

Mcguinness1

That, “Horsecrap”, the title of the email I received from an anonymous tipster. With a certain level of reluctance I opened it and, as you can see, what I beheld was beyond my wildest imagination (and I can imagine an awful lot). Sometimes one finds love—

horsecrap

or at least its, um, droppings— in the strangest of places. In this case McGuinness Boulevard just a stone’s throw from the Shit Tits. Well done, fellow Greenpointers (?). WELL DONE!

P.S.: I wish I had done this when I married my prince charming, the Mister, almost eight years ago. Of course our anniversary is coming up on Halloween. Hmm…

Spotted At 80 West Street: Sidewalk

SIDEWALK

Ever had one of those moments when you say to yourself:

Wait, something has changed here?

Well this afternoon on Greenpoint Avenue I had just such a moment.

Then it hit me:

(80 West Street, April 12, 2012)

There is sidewalk here and I am walking on it!

I cannot tell a lie: it was a wonderful feeling! I am not 100% certain what brought about this most fortuitous event (which came to pass last week)— but I have a creeping suspicion who had a hand in it. Thus I am closing this post with a shout-out to members of our local Community Board (you know who you are) and Assemblyman Joe Lentol. Thanks!

New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: Calavera

As spotted on this lovely afternoon on Metropolitan Avenue. Closing on a somewhat related note (this of course being Day of the Dead), Williamsburg’s very own Huitzilli will be offering free sugar skull workshops October 26th!

sugarskullworkshops

Spaces are limited so it is probably best to RSVP sooner as opposed to later. Check it out!
