Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:
Jason (10) and his godbrother Derick (12) where playing in front of their house on an otherwise industrial stretch of Atlantic Avenue where they have been living with their mother for the last few years. While they were showing me their karate moves a rush of police cars came screaming by, headed a few blocks away where a woman was shot.
Derick told me that when he grows up he wants to be an NFL quarterback. Jason wants to be an artist; he spends his free time drawing Manga. Both insisted I come back and take pictures of them breaking boards with their bare hands, like “real karate masters.”

Sean, Aide-de-camp and son of the inimitable proprietor of the above-listed establishment, Steve, shows of a little love to our very own Shit Tits— and yours truly! Once again, you can order this poster by clicking here.
Otherwise (and on a somewhat-related note) my buddy Mitch over at The Newtown Pentacle will be conducting a tour around our very own creek this upcoming weekend. Here are the deets from his Facebook announcement:
I’ll be doing a walking tour around the Brooklyn side of Newtown Creek on Saturday the 24th, starting at 10 am in Greenpoint. This one will be a small group, around 10 people. $10 per head. Want to come? Bring a camera…
You can RSVP for this event by emailing Mitch at newtownpentacle (at) yahoo (dot) com

Lest I have not said so before, I will do so now: I sincerely enjoy receiving contributions from you, my readers. This is especially true today’s item (as seen at left). This hails from Newel Street and I had the pleasure of contemplating it over my first cup of morning coffee. Its founder, a person we’ll call “D”, writes:
Just a couple of shots I thought you’d enjoy. One is of my new rescue (excised) hoarding toys. And the other is of my neighbors recycling…
I take this as a clear sign of gentrification (among other things). If there’s one thing I have learned over the years it is this: perversity has a price. And the cost of this item (for those of you who are wondering and/or are so inclined) appears to be around $60.00. Not exactly cheap, but definitely not top-of-the line either.
It should be noted I found this item on sale online for a much more affordable $32.21— but why not keep your hard-earned dollars in the ‘hood and hit Just For Fun instead? Buy local, folks!

UPDATE, 4:15 p.m.: on a lark (and with the help of an interpreter: the wonderful woman who operates this business is more proficient in Polish than English) I decided to see what Just For Fun has in the way of prosthetics of the pervy persuasion Currently they have this non-motorized (but substantial) model in a pleasing shade of purple. This item will set you back $19.95 plus tax. NOTE: this and its fetishy friends are secreted well out of view because, as Barbara, the lovely proprietress of this establishment noted, they also sell children’s toys as well! Among other things…
God, I love Greenpoint…

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor a sunny (if brisk) Saturday afternoon stays Taylor from the swift completion of his appointed rounds… with a smile to boot!
