Greenpoint Photo du Jour: Dissonance
Filed under: 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Sometimes it’s tough being Peter Gabriel in a Phil Collins world. This is for all the Peter Gabriel fans (or lovers of rubber suits) out there…
P.S.: This act kicked off a philosophical discussion with a couple chaps hanging out outside the entrance to the G train (and there always are men hanging at this location). I told one of them that while I really had no strong feelings about either Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel one way or the other, I felt the voice of those who prefer the latter should be heard. I also added I liked flowers and rubber suits. They agreed that this made perfect sense. They also concurred with me when I said we live in a strange and very wonderful place.
From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: DOA on Manhattan Avenue?
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I arrived home from this evening’s Public Safety Committee meeting (which, it should be noted handles criminal matters) to find this item (which hails from NYScanner) in my inbox. I have reached out to the head of the 94th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Hurson, in the hope he can shed some light on what happened. It goes without saying that if/when I learn anything, I will post an update here.
UPDATE, March 2, 10:55 a.m.: I have received a clarification from D.I. Hurson! He writes:
I don’t see anything for Greenpoint and Manhattan ave, we did have a DOA last night inside of 1109 Manhattan Ave but we don’t believe it to be suspicious.
For those of you who are not in the know 1109 Manhattan Avenue is the Greenpoint Hotel (hence perhaps a transposition was made?). This is one of our community’s, um, notorious establishments.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Phil Collins Day 2012?
A number of folks have asked me if there is a Second Annual Phil Collins Day celebration in the works. I have been woefully remiss in following this up. Thankfully I today received an email from a(nother) lass named Heather— and the answer is an emphatic “YES!”. She writes:

Hey there, Miss Heather,
Since you’re so good at putting the word our to the nabe when one of us loses something, I thought I’d reach out. My beautiful 3 & 1/2 year old Fuji cruiser was stolen from in front of my apt on on Leonard, between Greenpoint & Calyer. Cops say it’s my job to look for it, so I’m scouring. It’s a light silvery-purple in the body shape of the attached pic.
Bike has:black wire basket on frontblack water bottle holderrear-view mirror on left sideringy-bell with cats on it on left sidefront wheel was recently bent on a ride If you could let people know, I’d be ever so grateful!
Done! Anyone who has seen this bicycle or knows of its whereabouts should contact Fifi via email at fifi(dot)fleshwound (at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks!
