You just gotta love when an underground Brooklyn mofo like Beans of Anti-Pop Consortium has his face plastered across a Manhattan billboard. Young Gifted and Black Blog spotted the billboard in Tribeca and shared. Go Beans!
This is a perfect opportunity to tell you that if you do not already have tickets to see the infamous Anti-Pop on Friday (October 3rd) with Stereolab @ Filmore East (formerly Irving Plaza), you need to get a move on.
I spoke to the LoftNinja yesterday. He's been traveling a little bit..."clearing his mind of real estate whoas," he said. Nevertheless, he's apparently headed back this way and will (as always) be enthusiastic about helping all of you artists out there who are feeling the effects of a retarded real estate market.
He did mention that he's managed to help a few of you guys out while away, somehow... I guess that's just how ninjas do it. Look him up if you need a not-so-brokerish agent type, with experience, ripe. He puts the "i" in realty.By the way In other news, both the LoftNinja and I (justiNYC) received a warm slice of press today from our mutual blog buddy, Frances Flynn Thorsen- the newest (and greatest!) managing editor over at RealTown blog. On behalf of myself and the Ninja,I'd just like to say thanks and that we sure appreciate the ways you appreciate us. Hope to run into you soon Fran...we have loads of art (and real-i-ty) to discuss.

So, Williamsburg made it into Gawker yesterday- they published a "field guide!" For the most part, its pretty accurate.I suppose this means the Burg has finally arrived. Brownstoner linked it up, along side a few listings from my buddy LoftNinja.
Meanwhile, over at Gowanus Lounge, there's a bit of talk today about the "Roebling Oil Field" at 223 N. 11th Street. Forget black gold and texas tea, its a bonified slick fest over there! The Beverly Hillbillies could certainly be a gang of potential buyers, if someone tracked them down....

I just have to say (and I've said it before) that one of the things that I miss the most about Brooklyn (while down here in the Dirty South on break) would have to be graffiti and street art. When you are as ingrained into a neighborhood as I am, watching buildings and streetscapes change like blinks of an eye, it is the art that keeps even the shortest of walks interesting. From across the street, I will without fail notice the arrival of any new sticker or scribble, the fresh presence of a new poster and ahhh...the smell of wheatpaste in the morning. Today, Curbed made me a little nostalgic for my neighborhood route, actually showing me a couple of things that have been added to the streets, undoubtedly within the last 2 weeks.
[apparently freshly posted on the outside of the barrier attached to the "See Through Building" on Bedford and N4th Streets (future of "Williamsburgh Square."-maybe)]
You just can't avoid the truth of the streets!
I would like to also share with all of you an album i have posted on PicasaWeb, jam packed with Street Art from Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bushwick, DUMBO, etc. Enjoy!

According to a draft plan (above) that the Streets Blog acquired, Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg is undergoing some major changes. As the Streets report
"the plan calls for the elimination of five motor vehicle parking spacesWe will have to wait for the Department of Transportation for an official press release for more information. The plan is expected to remove 5 parking spaces on North 7th Street in order to widen the sidewalk, making room for more bike racks. Great! So now, Williamsburg will have more room for weekend junk hustlers. Besides, how easy is it to park around that N7th/Bedford madhouse anyway? Fuggitaboutit! But, how many Wall Street kids ride bikes to work? Hmmm

stairwell on the southeast corner (see the corner at the bottom of the
diagram)."

Well, apparently Curbed found the demolition hipster bit amusing, but the hipsters on the Williamsboard seem to find it most amusing (as many of them were at this party). And as it turns out, justiNYC had forgotten that he actually walked into this party on the night that it was going down. "How could someone forget attending a rager like this?", you might ask yourself. I guess i didn't stay long enough to get to hold the sledge hammer.
As it turns out, I did take a short video:
