Good documentation of the place that could be gone in some years. The pictures are very represantative as I think.
Good work !

The playground is actually named for the two streets around it, Bush and Clinton Streets. Nice coincidence, though.

Welcome back! Just checked back after MONTHS of desperation w/o satan's laundromat updates, only to find you post again at long last. I'm thrilled. Hope you'll be around for good from now on.

I used to live in Brooklyn (Flatbush) and I love these! They perfectly capture the mood of the city.

I used to live at 105 luquer street and HAD to spell the name everytime! Between Hicks & Henry street. The BQE was my alarm clock.
It was named for a revolutionary war hero peter luquer and I met a lot of people who they have made movies about, lol!
I SO miss NYC. CA is like jello. gurgle, gurgle.

I lived in Redhook for about 20 years and my Mom just recently passed away and lived in Redhook. I love the pics posted. There used to be a bar/social club on Columbia and Lorraine owned at one time by a man named Nick - who was my Mothers' employer.

I've never been there (brooklyn), but it seems very horrible!
Posted by: Digital Photography at April 18, 2007 04:05 AM
hmmmmm... not as horrible as we'd like, at least not in ways that are INTERESTING. ("luxury condos coming soon" will kill us all.)

Ikea sucks.

If I made a pros/cons list of life, your photos are on pros.
Just moved to Red Hook and it has rented room in my heart. I don't really know anyone but would like to come out and play... is anyone still lingering here?
