Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Devoe Street

This post is dedicated to Mister Heather— who not only identified the airplane in question as a B-52* but humored me when I stopped to take this photograph while we were walking home. He was grumpy because he didn’t get dessert.

*Because he is a colossal dork. My dork.

TODAY: Stoop Sale Selections

For those of you who are staying home this holiday weekend (and want to do a little shopping on the cheap) here are a few stoop sales to consider.

150 Milton Street

150milton

Although the prospect of parsing through used (?) bathing suits skeeves me out to no end books and CDs are always on my shopping list. Especially if they’re cheap!

Yard Sale #1
September 5 & 6, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
150 Milton Street
Brooklyn, New York 11222

208 Huron Street

208huron

This one is for early risers only. Given that the wares advertised are for (small) children those of you who might be interested will probably be up and about anyway.

And last— but hardly least— today is the last day of this loft sale in Williamsburg.

LAST GASP: Marketing To MILFs?

I found this on Graham Avenue as I was headed to Barosa‘s to meet a friend for dinner. Other than that I honestly do not know what to say.

Behold The Power Of The Interwebs!

Not surprisingly my latest post about the New York Post has garnered a great deal of attention. Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York has given it a shout out. As has EV Grieve and Bowery Boogie. Before I continue I would like to take a moment to tender my sincerest gratitude to my friends in the East Village; their tribulations at the behest of the local print media have shown time and time again that this is not purely a “Brooklyn blogger” problem. The practice of claiming material from a blogger as one’s own is much more pervasive; if Maureen Dowd has been caught doing just this it begs the question as to how many of her brethren are also guilty— but simply have not been caught. Or called on it.

I mention the previous because over the last 24 hours I have noticed a number of incoming links that come from web sites whose subject matter is not “neighborhood bloggers” or “blogging”. Rather, their focus is on the institution of journalism itself. Among the previous— much to my amazement— is a journalism “think tank” at Harvard University.

What’s more, they have contacted one of the reporters who lifted my story and the New York Post’s public relations firm: Rubenstein Associates. Not surprisingly they have yet to hear back from either of the previous. You can read the rest of the above tome by clicking here.

UPDATE: Snapper Patter, Techdirt, Gawker, Media Metamorphosis, Superpunch, FAIR.org, Citoyen Michel (click here to read in English) and Gothamist have thrown in their respective two cents! Thanks!!!

UPDATE, 9/10/09: Boniknik, The Desert Lamp, Manga Verdes, Mary Turck, Blogografia have joined the fray.

Now that the holiday weekend is kicking off in earnest I will probably keep the posting for the next four days on the light side. However, I couldn’t resist passing along this loft sale for any and all who might have bargain-hunting on his (or her) itinerary.

We’re moving to the west coast on Tuesday and selling the contents of out loft space. Wondering if this could this be of interest to you or your readership?
Beautiful items at really good prices.

Would you post this on the blog for tomorrow and Saturday? I’m sorry to ask, I’m sure you get requests all the time – we don’t have any time to take it all
or give out on consignment, and must let it go! And fast!

Have a great weekend and come by if you’re in the neighborhood!

No problem— and good luck with your big move!
