Crosstown Local Photo du Jour: Believe

Yesterday upon exiting the G train at Greenpoint Avenue I happened upon this missive. Being a lover of anything involving extra-terrestrials (which the authors of this missive presume Crosstown Local patrons may have encountered— and they may be onto something here), my curiosity got the best of me. I made the call. At a casual listen this solicitation seems to be on the up and up (although it may very well simply be viral advertising for MIB3). Interested parties can view the website for this endeavor by clicking here. TIP: check out the archive of UFO-related news. There you will find a tome entitled “Suffering Slings And Arrows Of Fatuously Impacted Boobs!” (Really)

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Changes…

Hi! Have you seen the detour alerts by the b48 bus stops? It wasn’t able to snap a picture this morning, but it looks like they will be repaving Nassau Ave and detouring the b48 to Norman Ave from March 12- Fall 2012 – yikes!

Have you heard any details about this plan? thanks!

This project has been in the works for some time. In fact I attended a presentation regarding it some time ago. However, I wanted the most up-to-date information and to this end asked our the Transportation Chair, a very dedicated lady named Karen Nieves, for the more information. She delivered. The following material will (hopefully) clear up any confusing regarding:

  1. The scope of the work is being done.
  2. Why it is being done.
  3. Who is doing said work. And most importantly of all…
  4. Who to complain to!

Without further ado here we go!

 

NOTE: a number of my fellow citizen have voiced interest in a hearing being conducted so as to gain a better understanding of this project and voice their concerns. If and/or when one is scheduled I will post the details here. In the meantime I hope this was helpful, D!

Urban Fur: Henpecked!

March 10, 2012 ·

I see a number of amazing things while knocking around our fair city— but a cat guarding a hen house? That’s a new one for me!

It was explained to me by the very nice volunteer at this endeavor, Bushwick City Farm, that this friendly feline’s name is Little Grey Cat. She was given this moniker by the local children.

Photographing chickens is difficult. They are not terribly keen on the idea of posing for the camera. But  they are quite keen on pecking them— which is what this sassy gal did shortly after taking the above photo.

An prodigal sock, however, is another matter altogether. This item caused quite stir. So much so its founder (as seen above having this trophy removed from her beak) was pursued by her enviously feathered friends. Conclusion: chickens do not like cameras— but they do fancy footwear!

Meanwhile, this goose calmly observed this hilarity from her coop.

Ever seen a guinea hen? Well now you have seen two of them!

And Little Grey Cat presides over it all! You can learn more about Buchwick City Farm and the amazing project they have in the works on nearby Stockton Street by clicking here.
