A few blocks away from the vintage Macy’s parking garage that Steve Powers dressed up a few months ago, lies this newly decorated building at 119 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn. The NYC subway map inspired piece is entitled the “Train To Always” on his website, and features stops we’ve all been to before: “NOPE,” “MEH,” and “MAYBE,” among others. A guy who answered the phone at the hero shop below it and didn’t really feel like talking, said the landlord gave Powers permission to do the work.

Here’s that person’s firsthand account that includes NSFW visuals.

“We couldn’t really make out what she was saying. Then she reached behind her back and unzipped her skirt, pulled down her underwear, kicked off her shoes, ripped off her top, unsnapped her bra and started parading around – still in the middle of the street! She then jumped onto the hood of a car that was trying to get through the intersection and spread eagle on it! Then she slid off and ran into the chinese food restaurant and trashed the place!

Near the end of the ordeal, just before the police, ambulance and fire department came, she opened the cash register, pulled out all of the cash, put it on top of the oven and started a fire! The guy that owns the hardware store a few doors down ran and got a fire extinguisher to put it out. No one could get close to her to grab the one inside because she was throwing glass bottles at everyone from the coolers in the Chinese restaurant dining room! She was pretty strong too because she even broke away from the three police officers trying to restrain her!”

And a bonus photo:

YouTube of course removed the video. Here’s another version and we fixed it so you don’t have turn your computer on its side:

But others are defending the homeowner, arguing that the scarecrow has been hung for the past several years and it’s meant to be scary, not racist. Neighbor Nicole Clemente rightfully put it into its proper perspective:

I don’t think that that portrays lynching. I mean, it’s Halloween, that’s part of the Halloween spirit. When I see a jack-o-lantern with a scary face on, I don’t get scared and think monsters are going to come get me.

Skip past the dancing to see the slow-spreading scowl of victory after a slam dunk, kids kicking it under a seemingly frozen spray of a fixed fire hydrant and a tattoo needle plodding in and out of a rippling shoulder. Gorgeous stuff, all shot on a Rule Boston Cameras Phantom Flex camera with natural light and “literally no pre-production.”

Should anyone go missing, authorities could then ascertain that data, which like surveillance cams, doesn’t help prevent tragedies, but does come in very handy after the fact … to the media especially.

Here are Brooklyn’s road and subway signs freshly hacked by TrustoCorp (first spotted yesterday), featuring handy, pictogram life instructions for the “Rough Road” and several “Things Get Better,” “Stay Positive” encouragements. Just in time for potentially harder times, it will make you LOL. Apparently, it’s sky-rat hunting season, as per the sign: “Due to the recession, pigeons in this area have been re-zoned for consumption.”

Watch as a group of not so smart people in Brooklyn chop down a ginkgo tree to swipe what the person who uploaded this YouTube video describes as a “fucking department store bike chained with a thin cable lock.” Mensa members they’re not.
