Julian Cole, the artist responsible for the really neat— but regrettably short-lived— Brooklyn Christmas Tree writes yesterday, February 13th:
Hey Heather,
I hope you are doing well!
I just thought I would give you the heads up on my next project, I am putting up another little art piece tomorrow on the Williamsburg Bridge. I am creating a sign ‘Brooklyn (Heart Sign) U’ the heart sign will have 21 plastic roses in the middle. On each of the roses I am going to have a little note like the one below will say ‘I love when you drunken call me at 3AM, keep being awesome Love Brooklyn’ and I am going to tell people to take the roses. I am going to do it about 9AM, I will make sure to take some photos and send them to you.
Without further ado here they are!
I suspect I speak for quite a few people when I thank Julian for doing this! This has made my— and undoubtedly many others (like the above couple’s)— day!

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part III: What’s Up At 373 Graham Avenue?
Filed under: 11211, Criminal Activity, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Many of the people reading this site are familiar with the phenomenon that is 373 Graham Avenue. For those of you who are not in the know you can get up to speed by clicking here, here and here. Suffice it to say something very, VERY strange is going on there.
A sign has been posted by the ostensible owner of this establishment extolling upon the pleasurable experience that is “central booking”. And if what I have received this correspondence evening is any indication, the author of this tome has gained firsthand experience of just this. Tonight. An anonymous tipster writes:
Hey — you know that weirdo who has that weird storefront with all the weird posters and garbage on the street on Graham Avenue and Skillman? This guy?
The cops just arrested him a few minutes ago. The showed up outside his place around 6:50 and were talking calmly to him for about 20 minutes. Then they handcuffed him and continued talking, until he got quietly in the back of their car. Couldn’t really make out anything they were saying, but as a couple who lives nearby, we were pretty stoked to see this. That guy is a creep.
Per the head of the 94th Precinct, D.I. Hurson, the author of this tome was arrested for menacing someone with a knife. Can I honestly say I am surprised by this? No, not really. This situation has been building critical mass for some time. Yikes!
