From The New York Shitty Inbox: Anyone Want A Guitar?

there’s a free guitar on morgan ave at nassau ave. it appears to have been dressed up and bloodied or something. post it if the heat kept you from your photojournalistic ventures.
Duly posted— and thanks for the contribution! As it would happen I have been spending a great deal of time at home enjoying the comfort of air conditioning and cleaning the kitchen. The latter has been a rather nasty affair— but I suspect it was/is mere child’s play compared to what this objet d’ art has experienced!

She’s very nice – someone just found her at Nassau Avenue and Leonard Street and brought her here… She has a Texas rabies rag.
If you know who this lovely lass belongs to please contact the folks at Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital via email at: gpointvet (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks!

Those of you who happen to be in the Garden Spot for what promises to be a sunny— if a bit balmy— weekend should swing by and see the rather impressive garden this chap has created. It’s a lovely addition to the neighborhood!

I ran into one of my old friends tonight and while we were talking about our recent life events, some guy and his girl apparently were arguing in front of the AT&T store in the triangle of Bedford/Nassau/Lorimer. Some other guy on a bike decides to be righteously angry and cold cocks the guy in the face as he rode by. The guy who was punched got knocked cold and hit his head on the bike rack (those upside down U shaped pipe things bolted to the sidewalk that nobody uses) on the way down splitting the back of his head open. Lotsa blood and freaked the g/f out. We called 911, four 94th pc’s showed, FDNY, ambulance, etc. We split once the authorities showed
Description of assailant was white, young, white t-shirt, green army pants on a crappy bike.
Sorry to bring yet another bike shit thing, but…
Hope the dude who got hit is ok, he looked pretty awful.
Never a dull moment in the Garden Spot.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: What’s Up At North 15 & Berry Street?
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
I asked this very question here on New York Shitty a few days ago. Today I am pleased to announce that I have an answer thanks to Jay of Dog Habitat! He writes:
I took Abby out for a late night stroll to McCarren park and walked by that food cart/wagon on that triangle at Berry, Banker and N15. There was a gentleman there with a shovel digging along the sidewalk. He greeted me with a hearty “how do you do?” and I walked over to investigate. I was glad I had a big dog at my side because he was, after all, armed with a shovel and who knows what else. Turns out this guy was very friendly and told me he’s planting flowers! [cue REM’s Gardening at Night]. I didn’t catch the guys name, but he said he was fixing up the spot for his buddy who was opening a hot dog stand. He was working late because he’s a driver for a car service and was shoveling/planting in-between passenger pick-ups. I’ll keep an eye on the wagon and will let you know when they start servin’ up dogs and who knows what else.
And here are the fruits of his labor.
So there have you. Thanks Jay for getting to the bottom of this Greenpoint mystery!
