We’ve all walked the streets of Toronto and seen some weird thing that makes us wonder if it’s art or just … a weird thing. In Brooklyn they do that too, though “the weird thing” in this particular case is somewhat more extreme. From the fine folks at Curbed NY<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Perhaps you recall yesterday’s burned out car<\/a> on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg. It was followed by a CurbedWire report<\/a> of a second toasted car. Then, we got an email with a night shot of a burned car flipped on its roof that said, “Is it art?<\/strong>” Heh, we thought, Williamsburg has changed so much that people think a burned out car is an art project instead of the traditional Brooklyn torched car. Then came an email today with another photo that says, “Looks like someone moved it a block north<\/strong> next to Diner, on Berry btw S. 5th and Broadway…” Careful analysis shows it is the same crispy Honda. Only it has been flipped on its roof and moved a block<\/strong>. So, is it an art project or someone that decided to turn arson into art? Where will it go next and will the city pick it up or ticket it? <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
