Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Salvation Army
Caryn Rose (who took the above photograph) writes:
the combination of the hardware store and the sally army store has taunted me since i moved here all those years ago. i never have my camera when the light is right and when i have my camera the light is wrong. i still didn’t have my camera and this isn’t what i wanted ultimately but at least it’s here so when those buildings are sold i can still remember this part of greenpoint.

Greenpoint Consumer Product Du Jour: Intoxication By Nation
I stumbled upon the above shot glasses at Biedronka while running errands this afternoon. Regrettably, I could not find a price. But let’s face facts: that isn’t really an issue with this kind of thing.

Greenpoint Street Art Du Jour: Dan Witz
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art
Given how many times I have walked by this building (READ: too many to recount) I cannot believe I didn’t catch this piece (from his “Ugly New Buildings” series) until today. But then again that’s the really fun part of his work: how it blends into the landscape. This admittedly weathered piece makes to my knowledge two Scarano specials which have merited Mr. Witz’s attention.

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Chinches
January 8, 2011
Apparently either people do not know what know what chinches are or being a “blood meal” is not a “deal breaker”. My advice: before renting an apartment in the Garden Spot (or anywhere in our fair city, for that matter) check the Bedbug Registry. Warning/Caveat: before clicking the previous link be prepared to be totally horrified.

I am not completely fluent in Feline, but I suspect what Daisy is saying here is she wants her window back!
