East Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Reading Is Fundamental
Filed under: 11211, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Anyone looking for a little summer reading (molecular biology and quantum physics enthusiasts in particular should take note) look no further. Just go to the corner of Skillman Avenue and Graham Avenue and help yourself. Oh yeah, be sure to bring a ladder!

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Lucha Libre!
This delightful Mexican wrestling mask (which has been rendered on a table top) can be found (where else?) on Bedford Avenue.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Last Saturdays of Summer
This item comes courtesy of a lady named Jennifer. She writes:
Hi Heather,
We have not had the pleasure of meeting, but I do hope we get the chance soon. I am the consulting coordinator for the newly revitalized Greenpoint Business Association and we have launched our first marketing campaign for Greenpoint local businesses who are members. The about section on the web site / blog can fill you in on the details of what the members receive and how they support the community.
It would be great if you can highlight Last Saturdays of Summer and the shopping campaign. Shoppers pick up a shopping Passport each Last Saturday at designated locations – for June 26th it is t.b.d, Black Rabbit and Matchless and then they shop, drink and or dine at a minimum of 6 of the participating businesses and are eligible for a 4:00 raffle back at any of the 3 bars they picked up their passports at. Prizes are from the GBA members and other supporting outside businesses…
You can get the full lowdown on Last Saturdays of Summer, including a roster of participating businesses, by pointing and clicking your way over to the Greenpoint Business Association’s web site. Check it out!

Greenpoint Degentrification Watch: Anyone Have $2.6 Million?
If so 48 Box Street, one of yours trulys favorite pieces of real estate insanity, can be yours! What in my opinion makes this listing so special is the advertising copy. It runs as follows:
Magnificent new building in the up coming neighborhood of Green Point, Williamsburg and Lic. Distance to Newtown Creek where thousands of residents are planned, tax abatements for 16 years, 1 car garage, storage space, 8′ concrete, top of the line appliances, height ceilings, Co as now pending on last 2 test.
I checked the Department of Buildings online database and sure enough, this building has no Certificate of Occupancy. I suppose this should come as no surprise. It’s not like the folks who constructed this building gave much thought or concern about such trivialities (including Stop Work Orders) before. As for using Newtown Creek and eight feet of concrete as a selling tool, it remains to be seen how effective this marketing strategy will be. My closing thoughts: if you are going to take this rather unorthodox approach to neighborhood “amenities” why not toss in “steps away from the Pulaski Bridge, McGuinness Boulevard and the Newtown Creek Nature Walk (featuring the Shit Tits— as seen on television!) as well?
