North Brooklyn Rides
Yesterday as I was walking around in the sweltering heat I saw a number of interesting modes of transportation. In fact, I liked them so much I feel compelled to share them here. Enjoy!
This Crosley hails from Kent Avenue.
Everyone has heard of Checker cabs, but did you know they also made regular old cars? They did and this one hails from Noble Street!
Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a brand spanking new Rolls Royce parked in front of Greenpoint’s very own C-Town on Manhattan Avenue!
And last —but hardly least— this beauty. I have no idea what make or model this is, but I do not think that’s terribly important.
Unless of course you are talking about silicone implants. “J.T.” sure loves him some boobies!
*priceless*

It would appear Greenpoint’s naughty potty has a friend over in Williamsburg.

Looking For Companionship?
I know the situation all too well. It’s summer and while all your friends are cavorting on the beach with their best gals you are all alone. Well cheer up guys, love always manifests itself in the strangest of places. And, well, if you can’t find Mrs. Right there’s always Miss Right For A Price.
Unfortunately I cannot help you, dear readers, with assistance regarding the previous. But rest assured I can most certainly help you locate the latter. Got your pencils ready? Let’s go!
Step 1. Hop into your minivan and drive down to Broadway between Hewes and Hooper Street.
Step 2. Park your car in the spot indicated by the red arrow at right. Note the presence of health clinic to your immediate right.
Step 3. Roll down your passenger side window and wait.
Step 4. If all goes according to a plan a five foot tall, 160 pound 40-something woman wearing nothing but yellow top (nightshirt?) pressed into service as a mini-dress will be sitting nearby with two grocery bags filled with stuff.
Step 5. Make eye contact with this woman.
Step 6. The woman will walk over to your minivan (whose passenger side window you have thoughtfully left open) and lift up her “dress” to show you her breasts. These are encased in a pink eyelet bra.
Step 7. You say no dice.
Step 8. Wishing to sweeten the deal, your new companion will pull up her “dress” once again to reveal a pair of brown mesh panties. She proceeds to pull these out so you can inspect the goods.
Step 9. You are on your own from here, kiddos! But be advised that a police station is located just around the corner.
Step 10. Be sure steps 1-9 are executed at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon.
Happy hunting!

P.S.: I am not kidding. I actually saw this come to pass (in the plain view of several other pedestrians) last Monday afternoon. It was like a friggin’ flashback from Full Metal Jacket. If you’re wondering, the man in the van did not take her up on her offer.
50 Cent Goes Fowl!
I glanced at the New York Observer’s breaking story about 50 Cent gracing the Garden Spot last Friday but quickly forgot about it. Thankfully my buddy at Brooklyn11211 set the record (and my prodigal Greenpoint ass) straight:
Actually, the show will be based at 118 Greenpoint Avenue, a couple blocks up from the Greenpoint waterfront. And about a dozen blocks from the nearest public access to the waterfront.
(Three years after the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning, and there still is no construction on the Greenpoint waterfront, and no public access to the Greenpoint waterfront. Transmitter Park is the closest to being reality, and that is still on the drawing boards.)
I wonder how Fifty and his crew will like living next to a poultry slaughterhouse?
I’m not a reality (or any kind of) television person, but I am looking forward to this. 50 Cent meets Scarano meets chickens. I have no doubt the feathers will fly!

UPDATE: This has been debunked! See comments.
Props/Map Creds: Big hugs to Brooklyn11211 for bringing this gem to my attention! You are the 40 oz. to my Mickey’s big mouth.

I found this pay phone on Broadway after witnessing one of the most bizarre incidences I have ever seen. You will have to wait until tomorrow to learn about that, dear readers. But in the meantime I leave you with this interesting piece of product placement.

Bedford Avenue Polemics

I will wrap up today’s offerings with a review of decidedly political artwork from none other than Bedford Avenue. Enjoy!
Presenting Team Facelift for Dinkins!
I can’t exactly pinpoint the reason why, but somehow G. W. Bush’s head and a parking meter go together splendidly.
Poor Dubya, they even went after his daddy here…
and here.
This one is hands down my favorite. That said, I wonder how effective deriding the second golden age will be in a neighborhood that is rapidly becoming a virtual gated community built by the wealthy for the wealthy. I suppose the new “influx” (if they even notice this missive at all) would applaud it. It’s neighborhood “color”.

Anyone who has read New York Shitty for any appreciable time will tell you that I love animals. This is why I dedicate so much time to posting adoptable pets and deriding animal cruelty.
Needless to say when I saw this furry little fellow at McCarren Park I said Awwww and quickly shot a photograph of him.
Then I noticed what was directly underneath him. If Larry Flynt is reading this, head down to the northwestern corner of McCarren Park. There you will find the centerfold to end all centerfolds.
