WANTED ON MANHATTAN AVENUE: Assassins

Filed under: Area 51, Greenpoint Magic 

wanted1

Requirements per the above flier:

  • Must be 18+
  • Live and work within the 5 boroughs of NYC
  • You have to be available late at night, in the cover of darkness, on either May 30th or May 31st to pick up your assignments in person
  • You must be physically able to make at least one kill attempt per week. That means going out and actually trying to smoke someone just stalking and giving up does not count as an attempt
  • Please nobody who still lives with their mamas.

This has “hipster “written all over it to be certain but who knows— it might be a lot of fun! Speaking for myself, it’s a little too much work for my taste so I think I’ll pass. To get the 411 about this open call for assassins check out StreetWars.net.

Happy hunting!

TODAY: 94th Precinct Community Council Meeting

May 18, 2009 ·
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg 

thank-you

If my inbox is any indication now the 94th has a bank robbery (of the HSBC Bank on Manhattan Avenue) and an armed robbery at Milton Street and Franklin Street on Saturday, May 16, 2009 in addition to a vehicular homicide and someone under the assumption the Abundant Life Assembly Church (as depicted above) was a drive thru confessional for stolen motor vehicles to account for. Bring your lawn chairs, popcorn and camcorders fellow Greenpointers. This will undoubtedly be a good one.

94th Precinct Community Council Meeting
May 18, 2009 (that’s next Monday folks!) starting at 7:30 p.m.
Capital One Bank (AKA: The Greenpoint Savings Bank)
Calyer Street Entrance

Found On Bayard Street: DADIDADIDADIDIDIDIDIDA

nicedreamsflippbonqLast month I heard rumblings about how the green market at McCarren Park was facing relocation because the condominium association(s) around McCarren Park claimed it ruined their view.*

Not content with harassing independent farmers it would appear our well-heeled neighbors have set their sights on a new impediment to their quality of life:

Ice cream trucks. Mister Softee himself.

The following flier exclaims:

STOP DADIDADIDADIDIDIDIDIDA…

Let’s taking back McCarren Park from the Ice Cream Vendors!

lets-take-mccarren-park

I have heard Mister Softee’s chimes frequently over the last nine years. Much later than 10:00 p.m. on occasion. I don’t think they were simply shilling ice cream either. But I digress.

You bought a condo overlooking McCarren Park. A park located in north Brooklyn— an area which is sorely under-served in terms of public space. It is spring. Soon it will be summer. There will be ice cream trucks.

What’s more, the 94th Precinct (understaffed as it is) has better things to do than chase ice cream trucks. Get over it.

This image of one of Greenpoint’s more colorful domiciles (which comes courtesy of Aongais MacInnes) tickled my fancy so much I couldn’t resist posting it here on New York Shitty. Great shot!

Feeling somewhat better I went to work today. Albeit later than usual and with snot rag in tow. Therefore, I got out for my usual walk later than usual and in my harried dither forgot to load the battery into my camera. Whoops.

Thankfully I had bumped into Bitchcakes and she lent me hers so I could capture this select find.
