Happy Earth Day 2012

With Earth Day 2012 being upon us, we’d like to remind you that you can presently live in the future by way of having your electricity be generated from clean sources of renewable electricity — wind, solar and hydroelectric.  All you need to do is sign up online — no new wiring needs to get done.

We’ve been having our electricity sourced 100% from wind power since 2007.  Our electricity bill is never outrageous, and by using wind power as our source of electricity we are helping save the environment that we live around.  Knowing that we aren’t causing coal to burn into our atmosphere and that nuclear waste is not being generated by watching television or having things frozen in our freezer feels good.

And if having yourself feeling good isn’t enough of a reason to switch to a clean source of electricity, switch to a clean source of electricity so that New York State can finally close the dangerous Indian Point nuclear power plant, which is just a little bit north of NYC.  Indian Point is an old, outdated source of electricity that has never been safe.  As long as Indian Point remains active, the risk of a terrible accidental death is higher to everyone within 80 miles of it — read all about how you can help close Indian Point over on Riverkeeper.

If you have ConEdison as your electricity provider, click here to sign up for clean, renewable energy.  If you’d like to learn more about clean and renewable sources of electricity that ConEdison can provide you, click here.

We’d like to quote our post from last year… ahem“don’t be a douche, use wind power!”

Economy Foam Left The Lower East Side

With Economy Foam moving from Houston Street to 56 W8th Street (between 5th &6th Ave), one more slice of Manhattan goes with it.

We’ll miss that old sign of theirs, appreciate the art on the construction shed while it lasts, and be happy knowing that when the opportunity arises that we need something refoamed, Economy Foam will still be around.

The Philistines Of Brooklyn

With each new wave of people who move into Brooklyn, the people who get squeezed out tend to say “This neighborhood isn’t what it used to be, it’s going to hell now!  Do you see all the ___xyz___ that’s living here now?”  They say this even if the people who used to live in an area were murderous, drug dealing Italians, and the new wave being murderous, drug dealing West Indians — both of which pretending to be God-fearing people.

Anyway, point being, living in Brooklyn, nothing changes, just the make-up of people on the outside.  On the inside, as a whole, everything is always just the same,  uninformed, ignorant, philistines, with a usual hint a$$holery, who masquerade as wannabe high-class citizens.

Case in point: this video that some fool from Bay Ridge uploaded onto YouTube.  It takes place on Bay Ridge Avenue between 3rd and 4th Avenue — nearer the corner of 4th.

Same people, different skin.

If Chandler Bing Was Real…

If the gang on Friends were real, today they would be found in NYC’s far off land of Sunset Park, Brooklyn — having been priced out of Manhattan.

And it’s good to know that they’d have a local spot to hang out at — Sunset Perk!  Could it BE any more ironic?!

A Construction Oopsie!

Sometimes construction goes awry, and a building becomes undermined.  So, the building gets a crutch to keep it almost upright, but leaning.

It’s a construction oopsie!
