Regardless of one’s stance on the “war on drugs” one really has to admire “Tim’s” market savvy product placement: an automatic teller machine located on North 7 Street at Bedford Avenue. Genius!

Alas, poor Smurfette. I knew her well. And for the right price on North 7 Street you can too!

Today I took my buddy Triborough for a quick jaunt around points Green and beyond. As is usually the case, it did not disappoint.
It was at the beginning of our journey (on Noble Street) that we encountered Jerzy (AKA: the guy who lives in the pick-up truck on that toy-strewn lot on Franklin Street). He was engaged in a discussion of some importance with a fellow Garden Spotter.
Who watches the watchmen?
His jacket asks.
Me (playing tour guide):
Note how the family is giving Jerzy a wide berth of passage. This is a sign of high status in Greenpoint.
And then there was what we found towards the end of our trek. It hails form North 7 Street and makes for a strange— yet curiously appropriate— conclusion to our afternoon.
There’s a lot more going on here than initially meets the eye. This is why I carry camera with me at all times!

I was saddened to see this sign. I know the hood is changing but this was the first shop I went into upon moving here in 98. First, two Duane Reade’s now this!
This is the deli that Al (and a cat named Halloween) once presided over. What will come next is anyone’s guess. A nail salon perhaps? So it goes…
