It's the Queen Mary 2!
(See for yourself.)
Fittingly for Red Hook, it looks like a ship. (And it's not the only thing around here that does.)
Is it just me, or does this couple look like an older Courtney Cox and a slightly younger Bruce Springsteen?
You don't see many of these on the streets of New York — anymore. (But it's not the first Checker we've come across.)

I recently claimed that this billboard has begun to comply with city regulations, but now it seems to be advertising a rather commercial affair: a giant party Six Flags is throwing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago's independence. Neither the billboard nor any other ads I could find say anything about it being a benefit event, but I did come across one mention of an educational nonprofit tucked away on the official website. Perhaps that's sufficient for this ad to be deemed non-commercial, or perhaps the billboard owner has simply returned to the law-flouting ways of yore.
Like the one we saw yesterday, this Lipa Schmeltzer billboard is well within 200 feet of the BQE. (He's quite proud of these ads, by the way.)
And in case you were wondering, Mr. Schmeltzer's openness to secular musical styles, which are well known to cause "ribaldry and lightheadedness", makes him somewhat controversial within the Hasidic movement.
