  4. Christmas Countdown Clock in September

    I was walking up Degraw Street on the afternoon of September 29, 2025, when I happened across an unexpected seasonal decoration: An inflatable snowman with a Christmas countdown clock. I see the sign above the snowman. I see that the snowman is smiling. But there are bigger questions here than "why is the snowman smiling?" To be sure, this is not the first time I have documented an inflatable snowman with a Christmas countdown clock in Brooklyn. Back on December 22, 2023, I published an […]

  10. Too often, decorative pumpkins are left outdoors to rot in later months. But sometimes, as I saw in Carroll Gardens on December 19, 2024, the Pumpkin Taker does his job.

  12. I was walking through Carroll Gardens in 2018 when I happened across a very unfortunate car. While I could not do anything to help the car, I could at least document it with my (at the time) trusty BlackBerry Classic camera.
