Greenpoint Street Find Du Jour

I have a saying, it goes as follows:
You take care of the community and the community will take care.
I have seen this demonstrated time and time again in the 11222. And today the Greenpoint Garbage Gods really delivered.
As I was running errands something caught the corner of my eye. I went in for a closer look.
It should go without saying I brought him (?) home. Mister Heather, despite being a professed atheist, is unnerved by my new friend. I assured him as things go:
I tend to have good working relationships with things which may otherwise want to rip your face off.
I am not sure this provided the solace he needed. However he did reach a level of grudging acceptance when I read to him what this item does:
As it would happen I do have a problem and it is my utmost desire that it GO AWAY. FOREVER. Best of all despite that party’s best efforts, I got photos too. Now if you all don’t mind it is time to get busy. Cheers!

It would appear these missives have finally made their way to this side of the East River. Not a minute too soon, I will add…

Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, Urban Artifact

Crosstown Local Photos Du Jour: Great Moments In Advertising Placement
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Those of you who have not done so already really should to take a moment to enjoy this amusing (and therefore completely unintentional) choice of advertising placement courtesy of the M.T.A. On the left we have Amy Schumer. As you can see she is flanked by a number of buttocks. This is of course in reference to this sketch. On the right we have an advertisement for buttock enhancement because apparently folks do in fact have and will expend $3,900 to get a bigger ass. Who knew?
This being the G train it goes without saying that both advertisements have been “enhanced”. The advertisement on the right received a fart cloud. Nice. Ms. Schumer on the other hand (quite literally)…

Taken today, March 8th 2015. While I am on the subject (this being the Crosstown Local and spring), methinks I spotted the Easter Bunny availing himself of the G train today. Or is it Eeyore? I’ll let you, gentle readers, make the call.

Somehow I am reminded of the adage emblazoned on the Farley Post Office:
