New York Shitty Day Ender: A Stroll In Queens

As promised, here are some highlights from yesterday’s sojourn around Queens. Before we proceed I’d like to tender a few thoughts/teasers:
- I stumbled upon not one but two clownmobiles. Slap happy after four hours of walking I have fun with the owners of one of them.
- Just as in the fine borough of Kings if a patch of drying cement is left unattended in Queens someone will draw penis on it.
- After finding another “adult film” discarded by the railroad tracks on Skillman Avenue yours truly has decided to start a “found porn” map. Is anyone with me on this?
Without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!

Or want a pair— albeit somewhat worse for wear— but with a belt?
If so, head over to Review Avenue and get ’em!* Those Queens folks have all the fun. *sigh*

A Very Special Urban Fur: Calvary Cemetery Style!
Filed under: 11101, 11104, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Queens
Today I had the pleasure of taking a lengthy sojourn with the imitable proprietors of Forgotten-NY and The Newtown Pentacle. It was after the first leg of our tour that Mitch Waxman, the author of the former site, took me on a tour of Calvary Cemetery.
And I learned that not all the “residents” therein have two legs!
Per Mitch, Calvary is hoppin’ with these little guys (and gals). We are talking about rabbits after all!
Here’s a little footage I shot of this handsome little fellow. As you will see he is not too big on humans. Living ones, anyway!
Special thanks go out to Mitch for taking the time to show me some of the finer points of Calvary (among other things) today. In closing, I’d like to mention the reason why he and Kevin were taking a walk today: they are in the planning stages for a tour of points Long Island City, Sunnyside and beyond. This will come to pass April 16— so mark your calendars!

P.S.: I will be compiling a slide show of sights— and sounds— from today’s sojourn so check back!
