People In My Neighborhood: Juan
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Newtown Creek
I’ve seen Greenpoint t-shirts and I’ve seen Long Island City t-shirts; but this is the first time I have ever seen a Newtown Creek t-shirt. Impressed, I asked this gentleman what gives. His name is Juan and as it would happen he works at the Newtown Creek Nature Walk. Among his responsibilities are opening and closing the park. In our brief conversation it became very apparent that he loves his job (and the park for that matter). This post is for you, Juan. Happy Labor Day weekend!

Greenpoint Video Du Jour: Movin’ Day
I was a little slow on the draw when I caught this curious happening last night on Franklin Street. Then again, it’s not everyday (or in this case, night) that you see a human dolly rolling down the street. I gotta hand it to these guys: this is an ingenious solution to a common problem. Screw with “man with a van”— these chaps should hire themselves out!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Nassau Avenue

This has to be one of the most exquisite displays of aluminum siding our community has to offer. I am not kidding. Every time I walk by I cannot help but give pause and take it all in. The sea foam green number on the far right is particularly fetching.

Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Devoe Street
Filed under: 11211, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
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
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
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
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
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.
Yard Sale #2
September 5 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
208 Huron Street
Brooklyn, New York 11222
And last— but hardly least— today is the last day of this loft sale in Williamsburg.
Happy bargain hunting!

New York Shitty Day Starter: Friday Night In Greenpoint
When I first saw beheld this motor vehicle earlier this week I was unprepared. Last night I had my camera ready.
I think this is a tricked-out motorcycle (Dragcycle?!?). Whatever it is, it’s pretty damned amazing!
