New York Shitty Day Ender: When Worlds Collide

The proceedings were rather lively at this evening’s 94th Precinct Community Council meeting. Naturally I shot footage and have commenced uploading it. (TEASER: Phyllis was in particularly interesting form.) In the meantime I want to leave you with something I spied before the aforementioned event. A moving sale of such a special (and distinctly Greenpoint) caliber it deserves a post of its own. Here it is.

The above photograph does not do the strobe light (which was quite an attention getter) justice. Fortunately that’s why god invented video. Enjoy!

If anyone out there is looking for a condominium on Greenpoint Avenue methinks one will be hitting the market. Soon.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: For Whom The Bells Toll

(They toll for for us!)

A chap named Rich writes:

Hey Heather.  I don’t know if you noticed but the bells started ringing Friday night by some miracle.  Do you have any info as to how, why? etc?  I doubt they raised the 10k in a few short weeks.  I look forward to you posting something about it because hearing the bells brought me such joy.

Today I kept my ears open and sure enough: they were back! But don’t take my word for it. Hearing is believing!

Needless to say I will have to get to the bottom of this fortuitous turn of events! In the meantime if anyone reading this has the 411 on what happened do share via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com.

Hallelujah!

*After I took the above photographs a male passerby stopped and examined this item. I posed this question to him. He found this very amusing but would not give me an answer. Hmm…
