Williamspoint Photos Du Jour: Presenting The Snowmen of North Brooklyn
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
(with a decided emphasis on “men”)
Since the sun was out and the weather was too terribly blustery, the Mister and I went for walk. Our reasons for doing so were two-fold:
- To get out the apartment.
- To peruse the snow creations of our fellow Williamspointers.
To this end we headed to McCarren Park without delay. We were not disappointed.
This old school model can be found near the Lorimer Street entrance.
This lovely specimen can be found a little further afield. The collar is an inspired touch.
It’s a tough job being a snowman. Hence why it is nice to take a load off and sit a spell!
Although a bit primitive, I found this fella (which hails from Bedford Avenue) curiously compelling.
This gaggle of snow creatures hails from 979 Lorimer Street.
I met the trio of very creative lasses behind this assemblage of snow critters, which they entitled “The Peanut Gallery”. They were quite nice.
What is it about the mixing of Halloween and Christmas imagery this year? I don’t know— but I like it!
And last— but hardly least— a little something for the ladies.
I know what you’re thinking:
Is this (which is located a stone’s throw from the women’s “comfort station” at McCarren Park) what I think it is?
Affirmative. Although this person’s command of male anatomy is a bit inaccurate, the point definitely got across. Much to the amusement of passersby.
Here’s a close up.
And here it is after a minor refinement.

A Williamspoint PSA: The Cooper Bark Calendars Are In!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Needless to say when I received word from the head honcho of the Cooper Park Dog Run that the 2010 Dogs of Cooper Bark calendars are in I simply had to pass it along here. The purchasers of this delightful and very affordable product (they’re priced at a measly $15.00 a pop!) will not only have the some of Williamspoint’s most comely canines grace their wall for an entire year, they will also be supporting a wonderful cause: a portion of the proceeds will go towards the upkeep of the Cooper Park Dog Run! In years past these calendars have provided funding for such improvements as new fencing and furniture. Why not lend ’em a hand (or would that be paw?) this year and purchase one of these calendars? They make great gifts!
Interested parties can purchase the Dogs of Cooper Bark calendar at Muddy Paws:
447 Graham Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11211
or online via paypal at: info@cooperbark.org
Be sure to include your name, contact information and an additional $5.00 (making the grand total $20.00) for shipping and handling.

Something Neat: New Mural on Richardson Street
There has long been a mural at the intersection of Lorimer and Richardson Street. Over the years it has fallen into a state of disrepair. Hence why I was very pleased to discover a new mural has taken its place! Follows are some highlights.
This mural, as with any work of art for that matter, is best experienced in person. For this reason I strongly advise that if or when the opportunity arises you swing by and give it a look-see. It’s really neat!
