Found On The Southside: Wheelchair
I happened upon this missive today at Wythe Avenue and South 4th Street. Truth be told, I am at a loss. In order for a wheelchair to be found one would presume it had to be lost/misplaced. Then again I have lived in north Brooklyn long enough to know better than to dwell too deeply on such matter. If anyone is missing a wheelchair (or needs one, I suppose) this good Samaritan has it and was kind enough to post flyers.
Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Laundry Day

I was asked recently by a curious citizen exactly what is slated to grace this rather sizable lot (which is located at Leonard Street and Meeker Avenue). As it would happen I know because I attend the Community Board Land Use Committee (ULURP) in which this is discussed. Prepare yourselves: it’s good news!
There will be two residential apartment buildings on this property: one will be market rate, the other affordable housing. The reason this was discussed at a “ULURP” meeting is the developer wanted permission to add residential units to the previous in exchange for building the latter. I saw the plans, materials to be used, etc., and I have to say what they have in mind is mighty nice. This is really saying something given Karl Fischer is the architect. I was especially pleased to learn the garden area they plan to build-out will be accessible to/shared by both buildings!

Quicklink: 25 “Douchiest” Bars In New York City

A short while ago I heard the Mister breaking into a fit of roaring laughter. The above-depicted item is the reason why. He enjoyed it so much he saw fit to email me the link. Mind you, he was sitting about 20 feet away from me— within the confines of Chez Shitty— when this came to pass.
After having him note— “verbally” (READ: shouting)— a number of other north Brooklyn watering holes on this list I finally broke down and read it. You should too. Am I honestly surprised by my community’s presence for such a dubious distinction? No, I am not.
Congratulations Williamsburg and Greenpoint, you’ve arrived. Not even Bill Murray can save us now.
