With apologizes to Mr Grant… This one is too funny not to post.

F5 Hotness
Sure does take a hot girl to make that old ass F5 throwy worth looking at!
I have no idea who took this photo, or where. I’m not really surprised though. That F5 a-hole sure did get up all over before moving back to the Ukraine.

Bushwick Trailer Park
By now you’ve probably heard of the Brooklyn Trailer Park Commune. They were evicted from their warehouse space by the FDNY. Upon being pushed out, they took up residence in an abandoned lot which was an old RR siding lot off of the old Bushwick Freight Yard (currently leased by the NY&A RR to Kings Lumber, who receives rail cars of bricks and lumber).
This eviction seems to have been completely illegal. Kings lumber knew who was living on their land – that is – if it’s even their land. So far as i can see the trailers were on a plot that used to be an old railroad siding that has not been in use for decades. This siding was probably never formally abandoned, but if it was – the rights of ownership most likely go to adjacent property owners.
Of course, some idiots say ‘the commune people should follow the law’ – Ridiculous. it appears in this case they did, and that those who booted them off the property – Kings lumber and the NYPD – did not. But hey, why not beat up on the weirdos? It’s a sick sad NYC tradition. Then again, animal torture (?) isn’t something we like here, either.
The last press article merely stated the trailers were now on the street while the commune folk tried to find a place to store them. We just happened to come across these trailers one evening on the Greenpoint waterfront. Claims that the trailers were damaged when removed from the lumber yard seemed unfounded. All looked to be in good shape for their age.
What will become of these trailers, no one knows. With no residents and no private land to place them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re sold off.

Gas Tank Wall
A new wall along a park where there were once large gas storage tanks has become a very attractive canvas for some top notch NYC Graffiti artists.

BS Hospital
History:
Built in the late 1800s, this is a very old NYC building. Sadly, it is one that seems doomed to decay and crumble into dust. It currently sits fenced off on an under utilized campus awaiting an uncertain fate.
To paint a more gloomy picture, some of its neighboring buildings from the same era were landmarked with an eye towards preserving their rich history in medical research. No answer for why this particular building was overlooked could be found online.
Its sturdy walls and construction, along with the fact that it is still very much structurally intact after all these years of neglect, is a true testament to those who build it.
Wandering around the campus, looking from building to building, we couldn’t help but to be drawn into this fantastic structure. This building was very much like the hundreds of others I’ve seen over the years, but it had a certain charm to it. Despite all that has been thrown against it, and the absolute neglect of its owners, it’s still standing, firm and tall.
Here’s to hoping that someone with half a brain finds a use for this place.

F5’s new ride
I was driving through hell the other day and came across F5’s new ride.
Word is F5 now weights in around 350lb so the back will probably be converted to a flatbed to ride on Jabba style. (OH SHIT!)
