From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Very Different Kind of Urban Fur

Hey Miss Heather!
Next to my office in Long Island City is a taxi medallion company and they have a few strays that live there (a nice lady comes by each day and leaves food for them). Yesterday, as I was leaving work, I saw two furry critters chowing down. On closer inspection, one of them wasn’t your usual urban fur!
Head over to Vinny’s site and watch this video for yourself. Seeing is truly believing!

P.S.: Thanks for passing this along Vinny!

This item comes courtesy of my friend at Sheepshead Bites. Please give it a read as the content makes it all too clear how some neighborhoods get more diligent treatment than others. On that note I am going to crib— with credit— Sheepshead Bites work so as to illustrate the difference between my street and Bloomberg’s.
“Patience” my ass. This B62 bus (and numerous others) parked on our thoroughfares are not only inconveniences which afflict working Brooklynites but Long Island Cityites as well. But why should that matter? We do not live in Manhattan.
Well done, Bloomturd!
Care to juxtapose your block with Bloomies? Send me a 300 by 400 pixel jpeg and I’ll do the rest!

Agreed. Truly stunning!
