From The New York Shitty Inbox: Bright Lights?

A Manhattan Avenue resident writes August 4, 2012 at 2:21 a.m. (in an email entitled “UFO lights”):

Hi Heather!
I laid down to go to sleep tonight like usual. But as soon as my head hit the pillow my eyes met up with solar bright light coming into my window. They seem to be coming from the direction of Commercial St. Do you know WTF it is? Since I’m on the fifth floor, the light has to be pretty damn bright to annoy me.

If I had to hazard a guess I’d say this was a film/photo shoot (be it sanctioned or otherwise). If anyone— be they extra-terrestrial or otherwise— has the 411 about this please share via comments or email at: missheather (at) the greenpointblog (dot) com. Your identity will remain anonymous if you so desire. Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Stolen On Huron Street

A fellow named Michael writes:

Hey Heather,

Love the blog, as always. Sadly I have another stolen bike post. I was wondering if you could help my wife out by posting something on your blog.

My wife woke up to a stolen bike this morning. Her green 3rd Ward NYCBike was stolen last night/early this morning on Huron Street between Manhattan and Franklin.  The bike had a brown wicker basket, old-school Brooks saddle and NYC Street Memorial placard in the spokes. A pic is attached (pre-Brooks saddle). Contact Lindsay.Illion@gmail.com with any info.

Thanks again for any help.

If any north ‘Pointers have seen this bike or know of its whereabouts please contact its rightful owner at the above-listed email address. Thanks!
