New York Shitty Photos Du Jour: And Now A Word From 387 Classon Avenue…

We’ve all seen and traversed them: endless flyers and cards soliciting one kind of service or another gracing our sidewalks, foyers, doorways and even intercom systems. Speaking for myself, car services and real estate agents seem to be the worst offenders— but there’s plenty more blame to go around. Thus we, as citizens, post flyers stating we do not want these tree-killers gracing our property. After all, if we wanted or required these services we would undoubtedly find them of our own accord. This is why god created the Internet.
Most of the “no flyer” signs I see on any given day are the standard boiler plate variety. I need not explore them here because quite frankly they’re not very interesting. The manner in which the above residence has approached this problem, however, is another matter altogether. Behold the genius for yourselves, gentle readers.
You can always leave it to our friends in Bedford Stuyvesant to do something with style. Well done, 387 Classon! Let this be an inspiration to us all…

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Coming To 214 Franklin Street…

Those of you who cannot get enough folks traversing our sidewalks and subways sporting luggage— or watering holes on Franklin Street, listen up. I have some news which will undoubtedly please you! A person we’ll call “C” writes (in an email entitled “New Hotel On Freeman @ Green Street”) simply:
Naturally my curiosity was piqued (Freeman Street does not cross Green Street, no doubt a typo on “C’s” part) so click on the above link I did. Follows is what I found awaiting my delectation.
As you can see, gentle readers, this plan was approved just over ten months ago. I would be remiss if I did not point out that it is the handiwork of north Brooklyn’s good friend, none other than Robert Scarano. Well, he did not file the permit. We all know this fellow, a poster child for the ethically-challenged, is not allowed to do so. If my memory serves me correctly it had to do with a little latitude/liberties he took on Freeman Street? Why yes, that was it!
First it was the Box House Hotel. Then it was the Henry Norman. Both of these displaced local, small businesses. Now we have this one which not only does that but is taking out residential space to boot. In a community whose rental market is already “tight” enough as is. Straight up folks: enough is enough. We need more housing— and truly affordable housing at that— for New Yorkers. Not another hotel.

New York Shitty Analysis: Apparently getting busted for operating an illegal waste handling station in Greenpoint and lying to the Business Integrity Commission does not preclude one from receiving honors from “Neighbors Allied For Good Growth” (formerly known as Neighbors Against Garbage”).
You can’t make this stuff up, folks…

Tomorrow: Fall Fest
This comes courtesy of a very nice lady named Lisa. She wanted me to spread the word and I’ll gladly do so!
Greenpoint, Brooklyn – Rust and gold leaves and pumpkins set the scene for The Monitor School’s Annual Fall Fest at PS 110 this Saturday from 11am – 2pm. The event will be in the Monitor Street School yard.
The community is invited to this family-friendly event complete with ticketed bouncy castles crafts, a raffle, and a variety of food for purchase. Take pictures in our pumpkin patch and take home a pumpkin of your own just in time for Halloween. All proceeds from the day will go directly to the students’ art residencies.
Learn more about the initiatives the school and PTA are making to help environmental education while having fun crafting with found recyclables at our AquaLab table.
Come celebrate the cooler temps and the start of the holiday season with a Greenpoint event that brings the community together.
Check it out!
