New York Shitty Day Starter: In God We Trust

It’s not every day you see a super-sized one dollar bill, hence I had to capture this one along with its creator Christian Hooker. If the piece at the above right looks familiar to any of you, gentle readers, you have a keen memory: I featured it on this site not terribly long ago. As Mr. Hooker explained to me, his prior work space (which was located on Nassau Avenue) became so expensive relocating to Williamsburg (in this case Kent Avenue) ended up being a more economically viable option.

This is something to think about when the subject of preserving north Brooklyn’s artistic flavor is bandied about (more often than not by Loft Law advocates). And it is. Often.

THIS WEEK: Community Board 1 Combined Public Hearing & Board Meeting

That’s right folks: following a rather lively summer the first Combined Public Hearing & Board Meeting of our local Community Board (whose agenda can be seen above) will come to pass this upcoming Wednesday, September 12th. Once again: Any/all interested in speaking must sign up by 6:15 p.m.! Those of you who are curious can view a map of the manifold number of new liquor license applications by going to my comrade’s site.

Community Board 1 Combined Public Meeting & Board Meeting
Wednesday, September 12, 2012 starting at 6:30 p.m.
The Swinging 60’s Seniors Center
211 Ainslie Street
Brooklyn, New York 11211 

UPDATE, 8:54 P.M.: I somehow overlooked sharing one of the more curious items in the rather lengthy roster of liquor license applications. Without further ado, here it is:

7 North 15th Street

At this rather curious location will be— albeit potentially— a microbrewery and restaurant.

Upon which this notice was posted in accordance to the rules— albeit out of view of anyone under, say, 6′ tall. It notes they are applying for a sidewalk cafe seating as well.
