Salvation on Varet Street
As I walk around North Brooklyn I often find myself pondering the human condition. These are troubled times we live in, after all. There is more to life than documenting Fedders Specials. I was reminded of this fact on Varet Street recently.
My ass is toast, I thought to myself. There’s no way I will escape. I ride the G train.
Hmm. Maybe that’s what they want me to think. If the son of man wants to come in a manner one would never expect, the Crosstown Local would be suit his designs perfectly.
I don’t know about you dear readers, but I have a plan! When the apocalyptic shit hits the proverbial fan I am hauling my ass down to the corner of Varet Street and Graham Avenue. Not unlike the ark that brought Moses to safety, my ride employs the use of wood.
Albeit with a distinctively nuanced 20th century twist.
I sure hope this baby is an automatic. There’s no way in (or in this case, getting out of) hell I’m letting Mr. Heather behind the wheel.

This hails from Graham Avenue and is wrong on far too many levels to go into here.

Mildly Disturbing Image Of The Day
Filed under: Williamsburg
After checking out the Kite Fest yesterday the Mister and I found ourselves a bit peckish. To this end we headed over to San Loco to feast on cheap taco goodness. Follows is the sight that awaited us at the intersection of Driggs Avenue and North 4th Street.
There are a number of things wrong with this picture. Can you find them?
If you guessed “clown bouncing a rubber ball off the sidewalk” you are only half correct.
If you guessed “clown bouncing a rubber ball off the sidewalk behind an empty DEP container” you win the grand prize! Sure, the container clearly reads “non haz” and “empty” but to focus on such minutiae is too miss the point. And that point is as follows:
Why the hell is this container sitting on the sidewalk at North 4th Street and Driggs Avenue?
Is it waiting for a refill? Has this container been placed here so people can drive up and dispose of their “non hazardous” spills quickly and conveniently? Inquiring minds want to know!

This little guy (or would that be girl?) was one of the many neat things I saw at the McCarren Park Kite Festival yesterday afternoon. Click here, check out my Flickr set and see the rest for yourself!

Way To Go MGM Demo!
(Or Would That Be MMG Design?) Yes, it would appear that Marie Grasso has earned yet another Stop Work Order in our fine borough!
On May 2, 2008 I wrote:
This is 186 Green Street. Or should that be this was 186 Green Street?* Note the new name for her business: MGM Demolition. This ploy is elegant in its simplicity: instead of addressing her firm’s less than professional conduct, just change the name of the firm and hope no one notices. Brilliant! Anyone care to place bets as to when this site will get hit with its first Stop Work Order?
Miss Heather writes May 18, 2008: if anyone out there bet ten days (after May 2) for 186 Green Street to get a Stop Work Order, you win!!!
And everyone else loses.
Marie Grasso has accrued quite a collection of Stop Work Orders. They do not seem to change her firm’s behavior. She continues to shill her services and developers still see fit to hire her. When will this stop?
