Brooklyn Blues

A few old railcar tracks and cobblestone streets still remain in a few Brooklyn neighborhoods, Dumbo is one of them.

The Hangout

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! ;)

The Crumbling Brick of Talbott Street

Its ironic how neglect and disinvestment can preserve historic detail. In the Old Northside neighborhood of Indianapolis, there is a stretch of Talbott Street (near 14th Street) that is still paved in its crumbling original brick surfacing. It should definitely be stated that the Old Northside neighborhood is one of the most revitalized Indianapolis inner city neighborhoods, but there are some places, particularly places near Pennsylvania and 16th Streets that still need some love.

Brick Above and Below

I love brick and cobblestone paved streets; this one was taken on 10th Street in Indianapolis' St. Joseph neighborhood, just north of Downtown. Much like many of the brick streets in the neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it is in rough condition (which in my opinion adds to its gritty historic feel). I just hope some day in the future, they don't just pave them over like so many others within the neighborhoods.
