Quicklink: A Timely New York Times Editorial
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
It was recently brought to my attention by a buddy of mine at Joe Lentol’s office that legislation has been brought forward by State Senator Liz Krueger and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried to end the nuisance that are illegal hotels in our city (such as the now defunct Luxe Guesthouse which operated at 184 Eagle Street right here in the Garden Spot and can be seen at left) once and for all. What’s more, the New York Times has seen fit to print a pretty good editorial supporting this legislation. Please give this item a read and, if you agree, take a moment to make our Governor aware that you do not support residential apartments— especially those in rent stabilized buildings— being pressed into service as transient housing. Housing in New York City should be for New Yorkers, not tourists.
Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part III: (speechless)
I hadn’t planned on running so many images form my photo pool today but when I saw this one (by Erik Jauli) I simply had to share it here. Cavorting in the East River is not exactly the way I’d beat the heat— but to each their own. WOW.

She’s very nice – someone just found her at Nassau Avenue and Leonard Street and brought her here… She has a Texas rabies rag.
If you know who this lovely lass belongs to please contact the folks at Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital via email at: gpointvet (at) gmail (dot) com.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Mugging On Banker Street?
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This item comes via a woman named Camille. She writes:
Hey Heather, just wanted to let you know about a mugging last week.
I don’t know if you post this kind of thing, but I wondered if it might help any readers avoid a similar situation. My boyfriend was mugged last Thursday night at 9 pm on Banker between Meserole and Calyer. Two late teens/early twenties guys approached him for directions, then grabbed him and threatened him with a box cutter. They had a little scuffle and pushed him down to the ground, where he hit his head. They took his wallet and phone. Tall good looking guy in baseball cap (turned backwards) and one short guy with chin-length hair wearing a white doo-rag.
I suppose if anyone saw/heard/knows anything, or found a brown leather wallet (kind of western looking old souvenir with a deer on it), it’d be great to know. The wallet may have been ditched near mccarren park.
Looks like it could be some repeat offenders, from this post on the Brooklyn Paper.
If you find this wallet please contact Camille via email at: camillemcmorrow (at) gmail (dot) com. And oh yeah— be careful out there!
