Inflatable yard ornaments and proselytizing figurines
Josh Guttman | May 9, 2007
What’s up with the seasonal blow-up yard ornaments and figurines of Jewish carpenters scattered throughout the neighborhood? Yes, it’s one of the things that gives Carroll Gardens that bizarro charm and character we all love, but a part of it is just plain weird. Don’t get me wrong, I have complete respect for all religious beliefs and the wealth of diversity afforded by our neighborhood, but does the owner of the life-size Jesus-in-a-glass-box on Wyckoff actually enjoy gazing at the structure upon returning home from a long day at the office? And the blow-up dolls?….the electric bill to run the air compressors 24/7 must make those things a serious financial commitment. If anyone has the scoop on these two neighborhood eccentricities, please share….
