Bushwick Photos du Jour: All Apologies
What first struck yours truly was the Road Warrior-esque state of this vehicle. The above missive— one of the finest yours truly has ever had the pleasure of reading and I have read many— was the icing on the cake. If anyone from the Department of Sanitation is reading this please cut Dave some slack. If the unorthodox appearance of this ride is any indication, I’d say he has had enough problems of late.

Spotted On Jefferson Street: The Mother of Invention

Yours truly has spied a number of fascinating urban artifacts during her peregrinations around north Brooklyn. Without argument this one takes the cake. Initially I thought this was some kind of homemade weapon. Upon closer inspection I concluded this item is, in fact, a piece of fitness equipment. More specifically: a barbell.
As you can see, two mop handles, four bricks, duct tape and packing tape have been pressed into service.
Here’s one end.
Here’s the other.
This is pretty damned brilliant if you ask me. In closing, I would like to give a BIG New York Shitty salute to the (anonymous) creator of this item. It’s ingenuity such as this that puts north Brooklyn head and shoulders above the rest. Bravo!
