East Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Ingraham Street
Filed under: 11206, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Urban Artifact, WTF
I am 99% sure you all can figure out what is going on here— but for the 1% who cannot not: this is a stationary bicycle chained to a street sign so as to presumably prevent its theft. There are many unanswered questions this brings to mind. I will refrain from sharing them here. *However, I will remind everyone— once again— that this being a stationary bike it is highly unlikely any aspiring thief is exactly going to make a quick getaway on it.
*With one exception: Why can’t Citibike implement stationary bike station?

A number of folks have brought this to my attention. But I am rolling with this one as I found the “copy” the most provocative:
Hi, Heather…any chance you can do a quick thing on this on your site? Feel free to editorialize as much as you wish, but it would be nice to let people know about it. That way they can come and personally rip on the new OSA director if they wish.
PDF attached. Here is the copy I sent out along with it:
Friends and Neighbors,
The OSA Community Committee is pleased to announce the next Public Forum will be taking place on Wednesday June 12, 2013 at The Warsaw in Greenpoint at 7pm.
The Public Forum is your chance as community members to bring your ideas for maintaining, improving and celebrating our public parks in North Brooklyn both with your fellow North Brooklynites and with OSA leadership. Join your neighbors in discussing the state of your parks and generating priorities for the Parks Department and OSA staff.
This year you have a unique opportunity to meet and hear from the Executive Director of OSA, Ed Janoff. Ed will present his plan for addressing the ideas the community submitted at the last Public Forum as well as take your questions.
We hope to see you there!

Although I have featured this before, what really struck me today was the pigeon’s presence. It was almost as if he (she?) was standing there just to get the “point” across. Possibly before “bombing” some unsuspecting pedestrian below…

P.S.: While I am on the subject of Barbies, it would appear Huron Street’s bathing beauties have moved on (hopefully to the Nature Walk) or have gotten a “taker”.
