Stolen In Red Hook: Solanum Quitoense
Filed under: 11231, Carroll Gardens, Carroll Gardens Brooklyn, Criminal Activity, Red Hook, Red Hook Brooklyn
I honestly do not know where to start with this item (which I found on Union Street this afternoon) so I will leave you with these three points:
- The amount of detail in this flier is truly astonishing. I am particularly impressed with the description of the flavor of the fruit this plant life bears and the photograph of the glove found at the scene of the crime. I won’t even go into the root knot nematodes (because until today I had no idea what they are, much less the fact they existed).
- “the pimple whisperer” = brilliant
- “hew-haw” = just made into my vocabulary
- Okay that makes four points. In any case I sincerely hope Emma (AKA: “the pimple whisperer”) gets her Solanum Quitoense back— and soon!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part II: NY Shitty
I arrived home today from my not-completely successful stint as tour guide more than a little bit tired. I was BEAT. Cracking open a nice cold Budweiser and finding this in my photo pool (which comes courtesy of amolho4) well, made me smile. Love it!!!

Carroll Gardens Gentrification Watch: OMFUG
This (which hails from Ferdinando’s Focacceria on Union Street) was one of the many interesting sights from my stint as amateur tour guide today in Carroll Gardens and Red Hook— and the operative word is “amateur”. The end result of my decision not to bring along a map was the people in my charge visiting such scenic points of interest as Ikea and the Red Hook Houses. They were polite enough not to complain— or they enjoyed it. It was too hard to tell. In any case, we had a fun time overall and you can anticipate a mini slide show of highlights from our meanderings in a bit!

New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: Blue Chip In Red Hook
This, one of the finest street sofas I have encountered in a long time, hails from West 9 Street in Red Hook. Note the baseball bat nestled under the cushions.

East Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Green Door
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Granted, I have featured this piece before (it was submitted by a reader named Todd). However, I finally I got to see this piece in person. I advise each and everyone of you to head over to the intersection of Waterbury and Meserole Street and see it for yourself. What struck me is how small and intricate this piece is. It is truly lovely. Anyone out there know anything about the artist? If so, please share via comments!
