Those of you who love vintage/faded advertisements take note: one of the finest examples our city has to offer, the Syrup of Figs ad at 96 Greenpoint Avenue (as seen above), will not be with us much longer. Follows is why:
a four story, eight family apartment building is slated to “move in” next door. Those of you who have always wanted to revisit and/or photograph this gem but never got around to it the time is now. Once the plywood fence of death goes up (and it has) the clock is ticking….

Thought of the day: if the leaders of our community want to attract tourists, perhaps they should crackdown on speculators/developers who do not maintain their properties, illegally occupy the sidewalk and/or street with their “accoutrements”*, etc.? Is it just me or are our electeds sort of missing the forest for the trees here?

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Sto Lat!
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
It has been awhile since I have seen Josef. So much so I was beginning to get worried. Thus you can imagine my delight when I saw him this afternoon. The reason for the sombrero? Very simple: today is his birthday. Upon hearing this news, I told him “Sto Lat”. Impressed, he gave me a candle. He admonished me that when I die I was to light it, leave it on my grave and he’d come visit me.
This one’s for you, Josef!
