New York Shitty Day Ender: Saint Nick

Taken today on Olive Street. Closing on a (somewhat) related note, the folks at St. Nick’s Alliance, among others, have something to say tomorrow to our fair Mayor (per an anonymous tipster):

This coming Wednesday December 21st  at 10:30 am GREC will deliver over 2000 letters written by community residents asking  Mayor Bloomberg and HPD to “de designate” TNS/Great American as the developer of the Greenpoint Hospital site. The demands follow workers allegations that the private builder has pocketed wages and cheated laborer and working people at a City affordable housing development project in the Bronx…

I along with GREC members, will be accompanied by community supporters and the Grinch to make sure the City selects the most qualified developer in a even handed process.

Time: 10:30 am

Location: Outside HPD Headquarters, 100 Gold Street

Some of you might recall the lass at left. Her name is Kaileigh (after the absolutely lovely young woman who found her). I made the acquaintance of her and her namesake behind the Cooper Park Houses last month. Well, Jay Lombard (into whose care this rather vocal lass was tendered by yours truly) had some very good news to share with me this afternoon! He writes:

…did i tell you that I found a great home for Kaileigh?! She now lives in Portland, Maine with a lovely couple. She went from the housing projects in Brooklyn to a Victorian home with a large fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that let the sunlight pour in to her new living quarters. Lucky little kitty!

I initially demanded that Jay tender photographic evidence that this Brooklyn babe is being well attended to. However, on second thought, methinks a “house visit” might be in order: curling up next to a fireplace sounds pretty damned good right now. I cannot tell a lie. I’m jealous!
