Times Are Tough Indeed!

A number of you probably attended any one of a number of festivities thrown last weekend in honor of the Brooklyn Bridge’s 125th birthday. I was not fortunate enough to check out the Brooklyn Bridge last weekend, but thankfully my intrepid colleague (and fellow Greenpointer) Bitchcakes did. You can check out her flickr photo set by clicking here.

But this post isn’t about the Brooklyn Bridge’s 125th birthday. It not about fireworks or celebrations either. Nope, this post is about a curious item Miss Cakes found ON the Brooklyn Bridge.

Bitchcakes notes:

Someone abandoned their sign. I guess they got enough $$ for breakfast.

You know times are bad when Lady Liberty is shilling for breakfast money at the Brooklyn Bridge.

In all seriousness folks, there are a lot of people right now who are having a very hard time putting food on the table. I know for a fact the Greenpoint Reformed Church’s food pantry is seeing an unprecedented number of families needing groceries.

Why not take a little time and donate to your local food kitchen today?
