Spotted On Oak Street: Magic Supplies
If there is one thing that warms yours truly’s heart it is a sight such as this (which hails from Oak Street): our neighborhood’s youth getting hands-on experience with our country’s free enterprise system. I don’t know if there is much of a market for “magic supplies” (I can only hope there is), but our intrepid young entrepreneur, Natalia has a diverse array of business endeavors. I learned this when I rounded the corner to Lorimer Street.
In closing, I feel compelled to point out that the youngster(s) behind all the above solicitations also has a side business in “hampster moving”. Methinks we may very well have just seen the handiwork of the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs folks. Who needs an iPad when you can have magic— and a kitten?

New York Shitty Day Starter: Buy American
One would think that someone who has been sanctioned to take a 40 story megadump on Greenpoint’s waterfront could at least maintain his property. I guess not.
Dear Mr. Palin: I have always wanted to take a picture of this building. And thanks to your negligence I was able to get the photo I always wanted— before you tear it down and build a steaming pile of King’s Crap. Thank you.
Trespasser & Outlaw,

Has Anyone Seen Tim Somers?
I have seen plenty of missing cat fliers over the years but I can honest say this is the first missing person flier I have ever encountered in the Garden Spot. If you have seen Tim or know of his whereabouts please contact his loved ones at: whereistimsomers (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks!

hey miss heather,
sad that this is my first instinct when this happens, but someone fired a gun (from the stoop of my building, as far as i can tell, regretting that first floor apartment now) on india between franklin and manhattan, maybe half hour, 40 min ago. actually an admirably rapid response from both uniformed and plainclothes cops, though i imagine following the whole quaalude thing they’re out in greater numbers.
the boyfriend and i heard arguing on our stoop, as i went to get my glasses heard lots of “you’re drunk, calm down” followed by “NO GUNS NO KNIVES MAN! NO GUNS, HANDS UP”. as my ass was already on the way to the floor around that time and when the guy fired, i didn’t see what happened, but saw lights and heard cops within about 2 minutes. they ran towards manhattan ave and a few min later led a guy back in cuffs. they’re still hanging around talking to folks.
so, yeah, yikes. looking forward to hearing what in holy hell this was all about.
You and me both. I can only hope the peeps at 200 Franklin Street enjoyed their box seats for this shit show. Yeesh.
