Special thanks goes to Mike Hofmann for bringing this corker (which hails from Manhattan Avenue) to my attention.

P.S: Bed Stuy Blog could have, should have qualified for this list.
New York Shitty Day Ender: C’mon In, We’re Open!
It’s been awhile, but today I walked by Cutting Edge Fitness.
Not surprisingly, this establishment is (still) open for business. Despite a Stop Work Order, the owner of said establishment being barred from operating a gym— for the rest of his life and ordered to pay restitution by the Attorney General’s office and a rather pesky ECB violation: #34754765Y.
Looks like it is business as usual in Williamsburg.

Southside Photo Du Jour: Wythe Avenue Lament
Appropriately enough, the property adjacent to this is being converted into a bar.

Great Moments In Real Estate Advertising: Manhattan Style Living
I almost shot hot chocolate out of my nose when I saw this corker on Broadway this blustery afternoon. Granted, I have not been to Manhattan lately but this does not strike me being something one would ordinarily see there. At least not without a neighborhood association or two raising holy hell first. No sir, masterpieces of this caliber are almost exclusively an outer-borough affair.
I would also be remiss if I didn’t point out that this advertisement’s claim that this excrescence is “new construction” is somewhat disingenuous. Believe it or not this building was once a carbon copy of its neighbor to the left. Now it is “Manhattan Style Living”. Lucky us.

Quicklink: Poles Flee Greenpoint!

C writes: Saw this on my greenpoint feed. Translation is spotty, but interesting read on EU acceptance of poland and its effect on greenpoint, and the change in demographics from a Polish perspective.
I agree: this is an interesting read. Although the translation is a bit awkward at times, the point more or less gets across. Above all, I (and I suspect I speak for many of my fellow Greenpointers when I write this) want to know is where these folks found a studio apartment for $1,000 a month. I haven’t seen one of those in years. Check it out!
