New York Shitty Day Starter: Banker Street
When the Mister spied two gents giving this truck a thorough wash-down he dashed over and asked how old it was, the make and model, etc. All I had to add to this discussion was that they should give the lady gracing the hood some sunscreen. Believe it or not, they found this tremendously amusing.

P.S.: On a Banker Street related note does anyone know what is going on here (the junction of North 15 and Banker Street at Nassau Avenue)?
I first noticed the Murphy’s Munchiemobile on May 4th. Now, as you can see, it is accompanied by a van…
and someone appears to be clearing the lot. For what, I do not know.
If any of you, dear readers, have insight about this curiousity please tender them via comments or email at: missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Inquiring minds (mine, foremost among them) want to know!

Spotted On North 12 Street: Witnesses Wanted
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
When I see fliers such as this my heart sinks. Granted, there are a fair number of negligent bicyclists to be found on our streets. I complain about them. Often. However, they are child’s play compared to the influx of cabs and livery drivers who now negotiate north Brooklyn’s streets. I have seen their driving personally on multiple occasions. It is terrifying. If you or anyone you know witnessed the above-described accident please call Mike. Fault-finding and accusations aside, all parties involved need to know what happened.
On a related note, I was (fairly) recently contacted by a gentlemen who is interested in speaking to anyone who might have witnessed Solange Raulston’s untimely death on McGuinness Boulevard last year. His name is Dave and you can reach him at:

Thanks!

P.S.: These are the coolest fairy wings I have ever seen. I half-joked to this lovely (and very focused) lass’s mother that I would buy them for $50.00. Nothing doing.
Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Millenium Falcon
When this young lady arrived with her family at the Gibson after the Kite Fest, well, I simply had to get a shot of her kite. She told me she made it herself and (I quote) “it didn’t fly very well”. Given there was little wind (at least when I arrived, anyway) I assured her it was due to no fault of her own— and that her creation was quite nifty. Besides, if I remember correctly the original had such problems. This, in my (admittedly dorky) opinion only lends to its authenticity.
If you want reliability you go with an X-Wing… or Tie Fighter.

TOMORROW: George Diaz Does Cafecito
I knew something was up when George made a beeline to me on Manhattan Avenue today. This is not to suggest we are not friends: we are. Rather, he had a glint in his eye. It bespoke of impending mischief. Sure enough, that’s exactly what it was.
Tomorrow, May 16, our neighborhood bad ass and brains behind Latino Laughter will be a guest barista at Cafecito Bogota. Aside from “jailhouse coffee” being in the offing I honestly do not what this will entail. Truth be told, I doubt George does either. In any case he is a really funny guy so you can probably expect a heaping helping of stand-up (and attitude) with your java!
