Spotted At The Greenpoint Gazette: WTF?!?
I know July 4th is some ways off but I damned near shot coffee out of my nose when I saw this. I mean, who in their right mind would throw a child-centric event on the same block as a 3/4 house for recovering drug addicts and the infamous Greenpoint Hotel (which, when combined, house no less than six registered sex offenders— including a few whose crimes were against minors). Well it would appear somebody thought this was a sterling concept. I really, truly hope this is a mistake on the Gazette’s part.

Urban Fur: Eight Lives Left
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Fur
As yours truly was walking home after an enjoyable evening with friends last night I made the acquaintance of this little guy (gal?). His good Samaritan told me he had just narrowly avoided being run over by car on Manhattan Avenue. He was rather shaken by this but the feline in question did not seem to mind. I guess when you have nine lives you can afford to lose one or two. In any case, this furry fellow has been whisked away by his new friends (including a gal named Heather!) to a better life. Indoors.

A New York Shitty PSA: North ‘Point B62 Riders, You’re F*cked!
SINKHOLE?!? Wow. In any case those of you who live on the northern fringe of the 11222 and wish to ride the B62 bus will have to schlep to Greenpoint Avenue now. Of course there’s always the G train to consider. I have to see this sinkhole for myself.
To be continued…?
UPDATE, 3:30 p.m.: So I walked down there. Sure enough, there was a notice posted at the Green Street stop that B62 service was suspended indefinitely. However, when I walked down to Freeman Street at McGuinness Boulevard nary a sinkhole was to be found— and vehicular traffic was humming along as usual.
Am I missing something (other than not quite mastering the video function of my newish digital camera)?

Greenpoint Photos du Jour: Jeszcze! Jeszcze! Jeszche!
The squirrels were were putting on quite a show yesterday at McGolrick Park. So much so a young girl in the care of (who I presume to be) her grandmother could not refrain from commenting about it. Which brings me to the title of this post. It was this word she kept gleefully shouting over and over: jesczche. I learned from her grandmother this means “around” in Polish. It is pronounced (more or less) how you say “milk” in Spanish: leche.

P.S.: Special thanks go out the my favorite employee at Stokrotka for assisting me with the spelling. She has become my unwitting (but enthusiastic) tutor when I purchase bath salts!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Saleh
This photograph was taken by Will Star and features none other than the co-proprietor of Greenpoint Grocery, Saleh. I have it on excellent intelligence he is in the process of selling his establishment so be sure to stop by and say “Hi” while you can!

Some of you might a new (bewhiskered) face at New A.J. Farms Market. Well, his name is Butterfly (albeit in Chinese) and he was too busy orienting himself with his new place of work and play to comment.
