"Here's a big slice of awesome. New York Shitty has posted a "salute" to these two ingenious gentleman who transformed a bunch of NYPD barricades into public seating in Spanish Harlem. "The gent on the right claimed credit for this creation—and stated that the NYPD gives him plenty of guff about it," Miss Heather writes. 'He told yours truly they come by regularly and roust him from his 'bench.' Because it is their property.'

Next time the cops try that, we hope this guy tells them they need to show I.D. and a property voucher to get their barricades back."
