This upcoming Monday, December 17th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Visitors Center at our very own Shit Tits Waste Water Treatment Facility an information session will be conducted for families and businesses impacted by Sandy. Mark your calendars— and ask questions Greenpointers!

Closing on a related note, those of you who have not seen this segment on PBS regarding the toxic aftermath of Sandy please do give it a watch. In it Greenpoint’s very own (former) resident, Jacqueline Lombard, speaks out. You go, girl!

LAST GASP: (Not So Good) Vibrations?
This comes courtesy of the wonderfully dedicated folks at the Newtown Creek Monitoring Committee (via Facebook):
Vibrations are being felt by businesses near the Newtown Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (AKA: the Shit Tits — Ed. Note). If you live or work in the vicinity of the facility, and feel vibrations, you can call 311 and make a complaint. Be sure to get the complaint number and forward it to the NCMC liaison at nc(dot)mc(at)verizon(dot)net. The complaints help the committee to help you.
If you feel something, north ‘Pointers, say something— to NCMC!

Marriage proposal starting with the word “Yo” + the Pulaski Bridge/McGuinness Boulevard + The Shit Tits = pure, unadulterated Greenpoint glory. It is my sincerest hope that whoever to whom this missive was directed to said yes!
By Popular(ish) Demand: Posters!
Last month the proprietor of one of our Polish delis took a fancy to my Greenpoint Valentine’s Day card and requested I make a poster of it to grace his establishment. As the image at left indicates, I gladly obliged. Then something happened which neither of us anticipated: a number of people inquired as to how they can get a poster of their own.
Not being the kind of person who turns away pocket money when it can be had, I have opened a store on Zazzle where this item can be purchased. This poster measures 16″ by 20″ (same as the original), is printed on semi-gloss paper and can be yours by clicking here. I myself have purchased one and have to say it is pretty nice (granted, I am a mite bit biased)!
In closing, I am open to creating other products sporting this image— and to this end would like your help! Please share your suggestions via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: This Week At The Shit Tits
Pa Heather once told yours truly she had no ambition. I took issue with this at the time but in the cold, cruel clarity that is hindsight he was correct: I was lacking direction. This has since changed. I have found my happy place (that being Greenpoint, of course) and while living here I have discovered a manifold number of things which engage me. Among them: being the goodwill ambassador of and mascot for our beloved Waste Water Treatment Plant. More specifically: The Shit Tits. While this might not be everyone’s idea of “making it” in Greenpoint (or in New York City and at life for that matter) it is mine. Don’t shit on my dreams and I will not shit on yours.
I was not shit talking when I wrote my snow globe was progressing nicely. It is.
After no less than three attempts methinks I have it right this time around. The first prototype was simply too “busy”: too much shit in too little space. I realized a trifecta of turdiness was in order:
- One snow globe of a Shit Tit (as seen above in unfinished form)
- One snow globe of the Nature Walk (replete with a kayaker!)
- One snow globe of the Dupont Street sludge tank (for obvious reasons)
But back to the events at hand:
