New York Shitty Day Ender: Al Fresco Living
Filed under: 11206, 11222, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Furniture
Given the recent cognitive dissonance “controversy” over the so-called “shelter” on Milton Street, I felt a reminder of what the alternative has long been for Greenpoint’s homeless community was in order. Granted, this living room suite is located in East Williamsburg (if one cares/dares to tread further east there he/she will find a homeless colony), but you get the idea.
This post is dedicated to Ann and Jen of the Greenpoint Reformed Church and the manifold number of people— and there were/are many— who worked to ensure that ten of our neediest will have a safe, warm place to sleep on this cold winter night. Thank you!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Thumbs Up

It’s not often one sees a PEP officer, much less a SUV full of them, in our fair burgh. Thus I had to document this spotting for posterity. As you can see they were more than happy to oblige this photo op. On a related (and decidedly “down” note), apparently an armed robbery recently came to pass at McCarren Park. You can get the run-down by clicking here.

Those of you who want to see something seriously wonderful should swing by 500 Morgan Avenue.
There you will find a bevy of very cute “bugs”— and this pup who presides over them. Check ’em out!
