Williamsburg Photo du Jour: Grand Street

Fine Art On Bedford Avenue

There was a time not too long ago when someone said “Bedford Avenue” one would think of the artistic flavor of Williamsburg. I suppose to a certain extent this is still true.

Hmm…

Yesterday as I was knocking around McGolrick Park I remembered that I had yet to get a nice photograph of P.S. 110. So I took a moment, found a nice vantage point and shutter-bugged to my heart’s contentment.

It is not very easy to get a good shot of this beautiful building. As [...]

Bushwick Barf-O-Rama!

That’s right folks, it’s time for Fedders Friday! This week I had a hard time deciding which building to feature so I decided to feature three fine-ass Fedders from Bushwick for your afternoon enjoyment. Ready? Let’s go!

I like to call this architectural style Art Stucco.

Here’s a second view. Not only [...]

The Manifold Joys of Gentrification

I received the following email at 11:48 March 27, 2008:
