From The New York Shitty Inbox: An Abandoned Guinea Pig In Greenpoint?
Yes, gentle readers this would appear to the the case. Christina, the lovely proprietress of Usha Veda Yoga writes (to yours truly and Jen G. at Greenpointers):
Hey lovely blogging ladies.
I hope all is well. Jen, congrats on your fund raising for Sandy. Heather, good luck with the move. I am writing because every time I go into Animal Planet this week I want to take home this cute little ginea pig that someone left behind in a shoe box after asking Mo to go in the back for birdseed and then disappearing.
He is loved by the owner who is committed to finding him a good home but can’t remain there as they have cats both at the store and in their own home. If you could share this maybe someone will happily adopt him. He is free but the crate belongs to the store. I held him for quite awhile and can assure you that he doesn’t bite or poop on you! Thanks!
So there have you. Anyone interested in providing this critter a home should swing by Animal Planet:

Brooklyn, New York 11222
Thanks!
UPDATE, November 11, 2012: I just got word this fella (yes, it is a boy) gal has a new home. Hooray!
UPDATE, November 21, 2012: It turns out “he” was in fact a she. This was discerned after “he” gave birth to a litter of more furry cuteness!

One of the Garden Spot’s more colorful citizens voices his displeasure at the absence of Crosstown Local service. Or something. In any case, keep those signatures coming, north Brooklynites!
From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part III: A Message From El Puente
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Today yours truly had the pleasure of bumping into a member of our local Community Board: a very nice fellow named Esteban Duran. He wanted to bring the following to my (and therefore your) attention. Greenpoint homeowners and business owners whose premises were flooded courtesy of Sandy please take note: this is a service you will undoubtedly find of interest. Mr. Duran writes:
Hey Heather! Good seeing you today. Here’s the blurb about the EPA:
“Do you live close to the Newtown Creek and had a flooded basement or home during Hurricane Sandy? The EPA is on standby to test your home or business for potential toxins brought in by contaminated water. Even if the water has receded, please let the El Puente Green Light District know and we can try to get a team out to test your home or business. Email greenlightdistrict (at) elpuente (dot) us or call Anusha at (347) 532-2809.
Thanks Esteban!

Just one update! We hear that only homes may be tested by the EPA at this point….
