Peter (who sent me the above photos) writes: hello miss heather- I was having coffee this morning and happened to notice an enormous cloud of blackish smoke pass by my window on Leonard Street. It appeared to be a pretty serious fire on Manhattan Ave near Calyer that [...] As yours truly inexorably creeps closer to middle age, I have achieved a certain level of acceptance about life. For example: I have grown to accept I will never be a millionaire. Money always has been and always will be a concern for me. I will never win the Nobel Prize. Not that [...] This is not “street seating” per se but it merits attention nonetheless. For starters, this al fresco arrangement has a rather nice view of the Williamsburg Bridge. Secondly, it’s easily accessible via the collapsed (but nicely painted) construction fence!

Bravo! Miss [...] So what do you think this space will be: A supermarket? A medical clinic? An auto supply store? All the above? Please tender your votes via comments. Miss Heather P.S.: I’m hoping for “the [...] As many of you have probably observed as you have read this blog yours truly has a “thing” for derelict construction sites (such as the above eyesore which comes courtesy of north Brooklyn’s good friend, Robert Scarano). I also spend a great deal of time documenting street art. So you can imagine my [...] Earlier this week I wrote about the curious happenings at 236 North 10 Street. Today I decided to swing by and see how things are shaking. I am pleased to report this bit of Bloomblight has become much more interesting. More construction debris has found its way to North 11 Street. The [...] |
