Last night a carbecque came to pass in the Garden Spot.

Fortuitously, the sombrero was unharmed.

What’s Up On Manhattan Avenue?

I imagine a number of my fellow north ‘Pointers noticed a great many police cars and Fire Department personnel stationed at Green Street and Manhattan Avenue this evening (around 10:30 p.m.) and are wondering what’s up. No worries, I have the 411— and it appears to nothing to do with Sandy.

Rather, an automobile parked in front of Cafecito Bogota (1013 Manhattan Avenue) caught on fire. I am pleased to report our Bravest* got matters under control before they got out of hand. This is quite remarkable given the carbecque in question was illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant. Whoops. In any case, way to go guys!

*One of whom referred to the absent owner of said vehicle as, and I quote, “an asshole”.

City parks are closed... with a single zip tie.

Is closed— by a single zip tie, no less! Special thanks goes out to the eagle-eyed Your Secret Admiral for this find!

If this photo taken today by the inimitable Dennis Farr is any indication, it would appear someone forgot to lock the gate. Whoops.
