From The New York Shitty Inbox: Lost On Java Street
A person we’ll call “H” writes:
Greetings Heather,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m a resident of Greenpoint, and a fan of your blog. I noticed that you’d posted some notices recently about lost-dog ads around the hood. Was wondering if you might be able to do the same for an ad I posted on my street today about a lost iPhone and set of keys (which, believe it or not, I misplaced at separate times, neither while intoxicated!). I’m pretty sure I dropped both near my house. Anyway, let me know…
Done. If you have stumbled upon either of the above-listed items please contact “H” at the above-listed telephone number. It’s the right thing to do!
New York Shitty Day Starter: Today’s Selections On Craigslist
Everyone needs a hobby during the dog days of summer.
I have decided featuring a few of (the manifold number of) advertisements on Craigslist for the former “Sweater Factory Lofts” in this site will be mine.
As you can see there are quite a few of them.
Hmm…
Missing On Franklin Street: Wes
If you have seen Wes (who is a very handsome fellow, as you can see) or know of his whereabouts, please contact his people at the above-listed telephone number. He is clearly loved— and missed. Thanks!
New York Shitty Videos Du Jour: Live From Graham Avenue & Driggs Avenue
After receiving a tip about— and later receiving a downright scary personal account from— the lady cyclist who was hit by a car at this intersection earlier this week, today I decided to see for myself exactly how the stop sign in question is obeyed. Or not— as you’ll see.
New York Shitty analysis:
- Props go to the livery cab driver who pulled over to let the ambulance pass.
- Otherwise, simply slowing down and peering around the corner does not a “stop” make.
- Methinks some traffic enforcement is in order.
As luck would have it the Commanding Officer of the 94th Precinct— Deputy Inspector Hurson himself— spied me walking down Woodpoint Road shortly after I shot the above footage. He pulled over and we talked. I told him about what I saw at this intersection, noting the recent accident (of which he was familiar). Hopefully we’ll see some action here moving forward…
UPDATE, 9:34 p.m.: I informed the lady recovering from this accident, who we’ll call “C”, of my findings. Here’s what she had to say.
…thank you for putting my story w. the photo on new york shitty. a friend said she saw that i commented… i told her she was nuts… but then we figured it out!! i spoke to (Good Samaritan — Ed. Note), one of the guys that helped me. he was actually driving behind the guy that hit (me) and said he didn’t stop. he actually sped up!! (Good Samaritan) has photos and took notes!!…
To be continued…?

In this case (as I learned) quite a lot.
Conversely, the much-publicized concerts at “Williamsburg Park” (AKA: the concrete lot adjacent to CitiStorage) are set to commence tomorrow. As you can see the stage is facing “inland”. Start drafting your 311 noise complaints now, north Brooklynites!
My advice:
- Refrain from pointing out that Counting Crows sucks.
- Rather, note that “OSA Presents” has been admonished not to direct the stage toward the community whose parks ostensibly benefit from these concerts— and yet they have seen fit to do so again.
- Better yet: just call HellTek!
