From The New York Shitty Inbox: Dog Run?
Hi Heather
I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and I absolutely love it! I wanted to leave a comment on your recent post about Transmitter Park. I registered, but I still cannot figure out how to leave a comment? Help?
Basically my comment is this : Do you know if there are plans to include a dog run in the new park?
Thanks!
I will take up the matter of comments with this person directly. However, I will answer her second question here and now. No, there will not be a dog run at Transmitter Park.* However, one is slated for Bushwick Inlet Park. It will be located near Bushwick Inlet. The completion date methinks is 2012. In other words, it looks like Greenpoint dog owners (at least the ones up north) will have to schlep for awhile.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra
If some of the pictures in this video look familiar to you, dear readers, here’s why: yours truly took them! No worries. The fols of the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra asked (and nicely at that) and I gave them permission. In any case, if you liked what you just heard you will be interested to know the that starting August 4 the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra will be playing the first and third Wednesday of every month at the Lovin’ Cup. You can get the full rundown by checking out their MySpace page!

Hello Miss Heather,
I was taking a stroll on the sidewalk along McCarren Park (east side of bedford) when I looked up and saw something I’d never thought I’d see: an older man, bent down, ass facing me, covered in *crap* It was a full view of asshole and bits. Normally, I take shots of everything but I was too horrified/stunned/ grossed out to do anything but cross the street and watch to make sure he wasn’t doing anything to harm anyone.
This was at 3:30 on Sunday, by the fence.. not too far from the bathrooms. He did not seem homeless, but who knows. He proceeded to pull up his trousers and seemed to head over to the bathroom. Was I the only one to see this? I generally see homeless/drunk people in this north area of the park. Does no one patrol? Stephanie Thayer? Anyone?
Definitely makes me think twice about where I sit, if I will at all, in McCarren or any park with grass now.
It’s disgusting but I wanted to pass this along to the unofficial Mayor of Greenpoint and all things shitty. Definitely a danger to people who use the park in these summer months.Horrifying.
I honestly don’t know what to say— other than someone has created a Flickr photo set documenting this kind of thing at our beloved McCarren Park. You can check it out by clicking here. Enjoy!
