Say What?: Signs Under Siege, Greenpoint Edition

May 15th, 2007 · No Comments

Java and West

Yesterday, Greenpoint’s Miss Heather hit us off with a couple of photos of signs in Greenpoint that had come out on the losing end of battles with construction and scaffolding. This brought to mind a new feature that we’ll be doing from time to time called “Say What?” featuring signs that have in some way, shape or form become something other than what they were intended to be due to construction, accidents, tagging, stickering or whatever. The top example is from Java and West Streets in Greenpoint. The bottom specimen is from Graham and Monstrose Avenues in East Williamsburg. If you’ve got a fun sign for us–or any other tip or photo for that matter–do send it along to us at thegowanuslounge (at) gmail (dot) com.
