There is a strangely disproportionate amount of wall art in the area immediately surrounding us. Here's a selection for you. I'm pretty sure the first three are done by the same artist, who must have offered some sort of buy two, get one free deal.

The beautiful Park Slope library (of COURSE they have a beautiful library. Of course).

One of five Christmas tree sellers I've seen in a fifteen block radius, this one at the local food coop, staffed by, and only open to, members.

In the summer there is a 'People's Pops' popup shop at 7th and Union, selling hipster ice lollies (popsicles, if you're American). In winter the shop is taken over by the 'farm to sandwich' shop, Landhaus. This is their bacon stick, my new obsession, though I'm going to call it a porksicle. Nom.

Obama tree!

I told you it was poncey around here, might as well take that to its ultimate conclusion.
