Urban Fur: Skinny
As spied by my camera supervising her “person” doing some gardening on Montrose Avenue. Her person (a very nice lady with a green thumb) put it to me this way:
She’s smarter than both of us.
And that Skinny is. She gets three hots and a cot and a garden to boot!

Spotted On Montrose Avenue: A Very Special Dare

I stumbled upon this item outside the Montrose Avenue stop of the L train this afternoon. I am honestly at a loss for words save perhaps noting:
1. strap-hangers (presumably inconvenienced by the recent spate of weekend service suspensions) must be getting desperate if Volkswagen station wagons are at risk.
2. some might wish to install The Club on their child-safety seats/strollers.
This is gonna get ugly folks…

As a resident of north Brooklyn, the home of such ground-breaking ventures in capitalism as an auto shop and a laundromat sporting pinball parlors and a table tennis/art gallery which serves beer, I found this latest rather inventive business model par for the course. Need to buy your Aunt Tillie some knick-knacks and get your tires rotated this holiday season, gentle readers? Look no further: ZP is your place! Tell ’em Miss Heather sent you…

From The New York Shitty Inbox: An Assault/Attempted Robbery On Montrose Avenue
Filed under: 11206, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, Criminal Activity, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn
I have refrained from posting this item until I had all the facts. Now that I have them I will pass them along here. On Thursday, July 28, at 9:00 p.m. a young woman was assaulted after entering her apartment building on Montrose Avenue.* The assailant, who wore a red bandanna to conceal his face, wrestled her to the floor. While her companions watched he attempted to use a box cutter to cut the strap of her purse. She had the presence of mind to (as it was described to me) “scream bloody murder”. Luckily, this was enough to scare him. He fled the building and rode off on a bicycle. A police report has been filed.
It was posited to me by my tipster that this man managed to gain entrance to the building because both doors gracing the entrance were left open. Please, PLEASE let this be a warning to all reading this tome to exercise additional vigilance when exiting and entering your homes. Do not simply “buzz” people into your building. Demand that all visitors identify themselves or better yet: go to the front door in person and let people in.
For all intents and purposes Montrose Avenue is a highly trafficked and pretty safe street. If this can happen there (a stone’s throw from the 90th Precinct, I’ll add) it can happen anywhere. Stay safe, folks!
