The renovation of the Culver Viaduct in Southern Brooklyn is still in progress. Here are a few random trivia items about this location:
1. This is the highest spot in elevation in the New York Transit system.
2. If you’ve seen the Goodfellas, this is location, towards the end of the film where Robert De Niro offers Lorraine Bracco some articles of clothing before she freaks out and runs…
There are so many places to hangout in NYC. This is my type of place; upon first glance, under the Gowanus expressway in Red Hook may not look like a pleasant place, but bear with me as I lay it out for you. There are no drunk yuppies, no snarky hipsters, no tourists, no panhandlers, its free, and everyone minds their own business here. Oh, and this my hangout, go get your own! ;)
Taken at the corner of Bedford and Myrtle, a street corner in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Bedford avenue is an arterial in the area that carries quite a bit of traffic.
Taken from the Queens Plaza area of…Queens. These are the tracks of the Montauk Branch and the Main Line of the Long Island Railroad coming into the Long Island City station with the Lower Manhattan skyline in the distance.
Now where did my mind wonder off to today? Isn’t it obvious? Jackson and Purves in Long Island City, Queens to be exact. Anyone really think I would be so sophomoric as to assign innuendos to this photograph? That’s a rhetorical question…Please don’t answer that ;)
A fellow large man and a small, [moderately] expensive automobile out in the Meat Packing District.
A sample of the architecture that is prevalent in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, the area of the city in which I live. This shot was taken near Bedford and Lafayette.
Taken from Grand Ferry Park on the Brooklyn Waterfront, near the old Domino Sugar processing plant.
