New York Shitty Day Ender: Live From The Phil Collins Day Parade!
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, The Natives Are Getting Restless
All in all, it was a pretty impressive turn-out for this, the first ever (public, anyway) Phil Collins Day Parade. Moves Gallery even had a mask-making station on hand for merry-makers. And merry-makers, a marching band and giant head of Mr. Collins (as promised) there were! Without further ado, behold the Greenpoint glory yourself. Enjoy!
Here’s how the whole affair wound down in front of Shayz Lounge courtesy of diana gee.
I suspect I speak for many when I write that I sincerely hope we will see another such event next year. Nice job, folks!

This item comes from a woman we’ll call S. She writes:
Hey Miss Heather,
Early this a.m. (2:30?) my husband and I were awakened to commotion and yelling outside our house, which is mid block India St.between Franklin & Manhattan. My husband looked out and saw cops restraining a young man on the asphalt between 2 parked cars. A total of three police cars were converged on the scene, 2 having come down India St. the wrong way. The young man was strenuously restrained and loaded into a police car. After which police officers searched the gutters and snow mounds with flashlights. The police left about 3:30. This scene was a lot like the gunfire incident on our block last year. And it seems like gunplay is getting to be a recurring theme here in the point. Have you heard anything about this incident? Your blog was the first place I looked for information. Yes you’re that much of a neighborhood resource!! For which I say thanks.
First off, thanks for the nice words S. They are appreciated! Secondly, I have not heard anything about this incident. I have spent most of today enjoying the beautiful weather! If anyone reading this has the skinny on what went down please share via comments or via email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Your identity will remain anonymous if you so desire. Thanks!

Today being cold and dreary as it is yours truly decided to swing by Dog Habitat and meet a couple of their feline residents in search of a new home. Without further ado, here they are!

Next up, I present this distinguished gentleman. Smoky is is an owner surrender (his “person” recently moved into a senior citizens’ facility). He has a very affectionate personality— as you will see!
Lastly, the folks at Dog Habitat would your help finding this handsome little guy’s owner. “Buddy”, as he is called, was recently found at Sternberg Park. Here’s Jay to tell us his story.
Anyone who is interested in providing a loving home to either of these lovely (and loving) furkids and/or can help Buddy find his way back home should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (718) 395-2298 or email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.
