P.S.: This post goes out to Shawn of North Brooklyn Cats. An organization which has rescued a lot of furkids in need. Today is her birthday.
From The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Archives: Halloran’s Gift
It’s been a long time— too long, if you ask me— since I have shared some Greenpoint goodness from the days of old. Today, I not only had the time but managed to parse a real gem from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle archives. It dates from January 8, 1900 and involves a member of the local constabulary receiving a very special bit of holiday cheer— if that is what one can call the decapitated head of a duck. Among other things. Enjoy!
Interested to know what 155 Greenpoint Avenue looks like today? Click here. HINT: a once beloved (and famous) cat once called this establishment her place of work and play! Otherwise, you can trace the path of Sigimund’s very dubious offering by clicking here.

This missive comes courtesy of Commercial Street. To understand why I find this entertaining click here. HINT: it has nothing whatsoever to do with Van Halen.

New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: Street Sleeper
Filed under: 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Furniture
When I stumbled upon this ad hoc sofa/sleeper at the intersection of Norman Avenue and Humboldt Street I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. Then I glance to left and in so doing began the fully grasp the Greenpoint glory in front of me.
The person(s) responsible for this street sleeper didn’t just stick a mattress in an empty sofa bed: they first divested the sofa bed of its contents and then proceeded to stuff the mattress inside of it. Brilliant, simply brilliant!

Daily Bloomblight: Happy New Year From 98 Clay Street!
Filed under: 11222, Bloomblight, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This vision comes courtesy of 98 Clay Street (AKA: 141 Dupont Street) which as many of you recall has been problematic for a very, very long time. Aside from the occasional Stop Work Order this “property” sports a dubious achievement which places it six feet below its peers: a man was found dead here in 2009. In any case, if what I saw this morning is any indication of what 98 Clay Street has in store for 2011 I’d say we’re in for a very exciting year!
