From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: DOA on Manhattan Avenue?
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I arrived home from this evening’s Public Safety Committee meeting (which, it should be noted handles criminal matters) to find this item (which hails from NYScanner) in my inbox. I have reached out to the head of the 94th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Hurson, in the hope he can shed some light on what happened. It goes without saying that if/when I learn anything, I will post an update here.
UPDATE, March 2, 10:55 a.m.: I have received a clarification from D.I. Hurson! He writes:
I don’t see anything for Greenpoint and Manhattan ave, we did have a DOA last night inside of 1109 Manhattan Ave but we don’t believe it to be suspicious.
For those of you who are not in the know 1109 Manhattan Avenue is the Greenpoint Hotel (hence perhaps a transposition was made?). This is one of our community’s, um, notorious establishments.

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: A Man & His (Blue) Rat
WarmSleepy (who took the above photograph) writes:
This gentleman (I did not get his name) had three rats in total, two in a cage, one perched on his shoulder. Here he’s just asked the rat for a kiss and they’ve puckered up, rat and man, in a lovely show of affection, a lovely human moment in the crowds of Times Square.
(What you can’t hear are onlookers saying “Ewww!” and “Hey, look at that!” Photography lies that way, but tells a deeper truth: the seriousness of the man, his care and love for his rat.)
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Revised 94th Precinct Community Council Calendar
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As I have noted previously, there have been some issues with 94th Precinct Community Council meetings conflicting with those of our local Community Board. Thus, I am pleased to announce the previous have amended their schedule for the remaining year to remedy this problem. Henceforth meetings of the Community Council will be on the first Wednesday of every month— to take note!
