A Newtown Creek PSA
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Long Island City, Newtown Creek, Queens
Today I had the utmost urge to go out for a walk. I did not want to venture too far, however, lest I get caught in a torrential downpour. So I kept my wanderings local…
and went to the new park at the end of Manhattan Avenue. It was at this location that I found the following corker.
OK, I understand the city has to put these signs up. But who in their right mind would want to eat something that once called this home?
Gross.

P.S.: WTF is this?!?
Greenpoint Street Art Du Jour: Black Rabbit

P.S.: Speaking of Black Rabbits, I’ve been meaning to pass along an amusing tale of petty larceny that came to pass at our local watering hole by the same name.
I am certain a number of you who have patronized this establishment have noticed the above card holder. It was a “housewarming” gift to the proprietor, Kent, from his wife. What you might not have noticed was around this time last year it went MIA. Well, one day this spring when Kent was opening shop he spied something in the mailbox. Whoever had filched this item experienced remorse (or found this item not to jibe with his— or her— home decor) and saw fit to return it. If this humble card holder could talk I bet it would have a very interesting story to tell about its nine month hiatus!
Missing In Greenpoint: Row Boat
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Recession
Exactly how someone can make off with a row boat is beyond me. Such an item would strike me as being rather difficult to purloin discreetly like, say, a pair of socks— but someone did! If anyone reading this saw someone in or around 132 Noble Street brandishing a boat fitting the above description last Friday night please contact the police at the above telephone number.
Thanks!

P.S. Special thanks goes out to my buddy Bed-Stuy Banana (who happened to be in the 11222 zip) for tipping me off to this.

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: A Little Wildlife In The Garden Spot
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
Today was exactly as I wanted it to be: peaceful and even a little bit dull. That is until this evening when my buddy Laura tipped me off to the excitement unfolding in far north Greenpoint.
A raccoon took residence in a tree on Manhattan Avenue between Clay and Box Street.
Amusingly enough he (or she)Â is hanging his hat across the street from the Greenpoint Hotel and the Marzili Hostel. Maybe they were booked tonight?
Or maybe they have a “no raccoons allowed policy”? This is a shame as he (or she) is pretty darned cute!
Peek-a-boo!

Of course the real pisser is with this flier being located in Williamsburg I cannot conclusively determine if its author is seeking sex or heroin. Maybe he’s looking for both? Otherwise I am not so much troubled by the fact this chap has dropped trou (that’s his way of laying out “the fly paper”) but the fact he’s wearing socks in bed. That’s about as romantic letting one rip while a woman is giving you a hummer.
