Greenpoint Photos du Jour: Life Begins at 70!

Many a Greenpoint resident is familiar with 177 Nassau Avenue. It is inhabited by one of our community’s more lovable eccentrics. Well as of yesterday I noticed he, an avid runner, has made an additi0n to his storefront running the New York City Marathon (which he has done for sometime). Do take a moment to look at his creation in greater detail by clicking here. It will make you smile!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Saint Nick

Taken today on Olive Street. Closing on a (somewhat) related note, the folks at St. Nick’s Alliance, among others, have something to say tomorrow to our fair Mayor (per an anonymous tipster):

This coming Wednesday December 21st  at 10:30 am GREC will deliver over 2000 letters written by community residents asking  Mayor Bloomberg and HPD to “de designate” TNS/Great American as the developer of the Greenpoint Hospital site. The demands follow workers allegations that the private builder has pocketed wages and cheated laborer and working people at a City affordable housing development project in the Bronx…

I along with GREC members, will be accompanied by community supporters and the Grinch to make sure the City selects the most qualified developer in a even handed process.

Time: 10:30 am

Location: Outside HPD Headquarters, 100 Gold Street

When I found a missive in my inbox about the plight of Sumi this afternoon I simply had to make my fellow animal lovers at Gothamist* aware of her situation. Those of you who want to give this lovely gal a home for the holidays (and the rest of her life) can get the full low-down by clicking here.

*THANKS!
