New York Shitty Photos Du Jour: Live From McGolrick Park

I wasn’t able to hang around and watch the bathtub races (as conducted by the Lions Club) but at the very least I saw my first (and to date only) intercontinental ballistic bathtub and made the acquaintance of Philip Ras*, the gent who was kind enough to give me the 411 about those memorial plaques at 80 Franklin Street!

*It was a pleasure meeting you! You can see Philip’s photographs of last year’s race by clicking here. Check ’em out!

Best little park in NYC, with the awkwardest name. I’m going to miss having it a block away.

Tonight’s CB1 meeting was not terribly lively— but I did learn something that will undoubtedly be of interest to Greenpointers be they for or against the proposed homeless shelter slated for 400 McGuinness Boulevard: Monday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. a hearing will be conducted at our very own Polish National Home. This will be presided over by the Public Safety Committee Chair (and all around bad ass): Mieszko Kalita. I admonish each and every Greenpointer reading this to make it a point to attend and have your say!

This one goes out to my buddy Aaron.

P.S.: My fellow (T)expatriot has pointed out to me there is a bill pending regarding the compassionate removal (READ: relocation) of these critters that some Greenpointers — myself included— might find of interest. You can read about it here.

Hi Miss Heather,

Thought you might be interested since you’re obviously a catfriend and have previously posted about the pink and lilac bus parked near McCarren Park (aka the Bieberbus).

This morning I saw a ‘lost cat’ flier that said both their cats had escaped through an open window (sorry I didn’t get a photo!). The poster has photos of both cats, one called Zuneb (I think) and the other whose name I have forgotten. One of the cats has a thought bubble drawn over it’s head saying, “the prison is in my mind”, which I thought was very funny even though lost pet posters just make me sad. Anyway, the flier is on Driggs Ave next to the park, on the opposite side of the street from the dog runs (of course, I’m sure there are others posted elsewhere as well).

Hope the cats find their was home!

Methinks tomorrow I will have to sojourn to the treasure that is McCarren Park and see this for myself. In the meantime if anyone can grab a shot of this flier and forward it to me via email at: missheather (at) newyorkshitty (dot) com I would be most grateful. Thanks!

Without further ado (and thanks again to Coco), here it is!

Perhaps these pussies decided that living in a “pink school bus house conversion” is declasse and are seeking more commodious accommodations at one of the numerous “luxury condos” located hereabouts? In any case, am I the only person who is wondering where this mobile home’s homo sapien residents go to the bathroom or bathe? Seriously.

UPDATE, September 4, 2010: Moksie has been recovered! Zuneb, however, is still at large.

Why not swing by and say “Hi” to some of Greenpoint’s most eligible furkids (I have been told kittens will be in the offing)? Who knows, you might come away with a friend for life!

Spotted On Driggs Avenue: Free

(In more ways than one!)

Anyone care to hit the slopes this balmy Thursday afternoon? If so you might want to head down to Driggs Avenue.

They’re even bed bug free!
