Southside Slide Show Du Jour
Today as I was taking my Friday afternoon constitutional I was pleased as punch to happen upon this lovely new mural at South 5 Street and Bedford Avenue. Follows are a few details of it for you to enjoy.
If or when the opportunity presents itself I heartily encourage you, dear readers, to see this wonderful addition to the Southside in person. Photographs hardly do it justice.

…I’ll call you late tonight – I am running to a meeting re. the homeless problem in Parks/on our waterfront street ends.
Stephanie Thayer
Administrator for North Brooklyn Parks – NYC Dept. of Parks & Recreation
Executive Director – Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn (OSA)
It would appear that meeting wasn’t very effective.
McCarren Park is pathetic.
These pits have become the norm for park goers. You get used to negotiating around them. It becomes natural after having ones shoes soaked in god-only-knows-what once— or twice.
Gross.
Grosser.
DISGUSTING.
Your tax dollars at work.

THIS WEEK: Meet Jo Anne Simon
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This item comes courtesy of Teresa Toro, who writes:
Dear Neighbors and Friends:
As you know, I am strongly and proudly supporting Jo Anne Simon in her campaign to be our next City Councilmember. Jo Anne’s years of experience as an effective community leader, on issues ranging from affordable housing to accountable government, to truck traffic and parking reform, make her the best possible representative for us.
But why listen to me?
Come meet Jo Anne this Wednesday, August 5th. We’ll be at The Gibson (Bedford Avenue and North 11th Street) from 7pm. You can ask her your tough questions about why she’s the best person to represent us, and learn more about why she is running for the seat…
I encourage each and every one of you who is interested in the 33rd District City Council race to attend this event. And, dear readers, you should be interested: whoever is elected to fill David Yassky’s vacant seat will have serious ramifications for north Brooklyn. Any and all interested in this opportunity to meet Jo Anne Simon (who, it should be noted, is the only female candidate in this packed race) can RSVP via email at: contact (at) joanneforcouncil (dot) com.
Let’s give Ms. Simon a hearty Greenpoint welcome!
Meet Jo Anne Simon
August 5, 2009 starting at 7:00 p.m.
The Gibson
108 Bedford Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11211

New York Shitty Day Starter: A Sign Of Trustifarian Life In Williamsburg?

First off again, love your blogggg! So I thought this was pretty cool, as I have never seen this before. I went to the Bedford Ave ATM between Nth 5th and 6th the other day and found this receipt left at the machine, usually I am just pissed off for someone leaving their garbage there for me to take and I crumple it up right away to toss, but while I was waiting for my funds to disburse I decided to look at it for some reason. I noticed the balance on this receipt was a bit odd…
Suffice to say maybe the trustfundians are still alive and well in Williamsburg! Is this what a trust fund looks like? haha
ha…ha…
(Am I the only person who finds this totally and utterly depressing?)
