This Weekend: Touch A Truck!

touchatruckNYS

I cannot resist passing this one along. This upcoming Saturday, September 21st, starting at 10:00 a.m. the folks at St. Nick’s Alliance will be hosting “Touch A Truck”. Need I say anything more? In any case I have inquired as to whether there will be a Department of Sanitation vehicle at this event. I have been told they were definitely trying to procure one. Guess we’ll have to go and find out!

Special thanks goes to Marcy for bringing this to my attention! As you can see the items pertaining to Greenpoint Landing and 77 Commercial are second and third on the agenda— so those who cannot arrive at 5:00 p.m. on the dot will not miss anything!

Re-elect Levin IN ASTORIA

The primary might be over, but the mysteries and vestiges remain. Like these posters on Broadway in Astoria, Queens the Mister and I spied this weekend, for example. Why are they here?

Anyone?

As dutifully noted by our friends at Save Greenpoint. Those of you who have the ability (I know, 5:00 p.m. precludes a lot of folks from attending— and this meeting was probably scheduled for this time for just this reason) really should go to this…

I would like to humbly recommend asking parents to refrain from using picnic tables as changing stations. Fellow patrons (such as myself) may elect to use them for their intended purpose: dining. The outside world/beer garden is not your lavatory.
