An old, abandoned, residential building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This neighborhood has become quite trendy and more and more modern condos keep going up, abeit slower due to the economy. Instead of building cheap looking modern housing that won’t last as long as this building, lets give this structure a little love.
A softer, gentrified gentler Long Island City brings costly condos to an area that was and is, in large part, still contains industrial, working class housing, and the Queensbridge public housing complex. The neighborhood’s proximity to the Upper East Side of Manhattan has determinately sealed this inevitability. Taken near Queensboro Plaza, which is at the foot of the Queensboro…err…Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge.

So many innuendos…So little time!

Perhaps a metaphor for America’s ongoing real estate situation…Nah, I just like the composition. Taken on Broadway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Sandal, white khakis, white socks, and light green polo…The new fashion of Lower Manhattan?
And just what where would a seedy street corner be without a check cashing establishment, a head shop, sex shop, a liquor stop veiled in 2 inches of bullet proof polycarbonate glass (admittedly, there’s one of these a few blocks from my place of residence), or all of the above? This mini-flatiron structure sits along side the Gowanus Expressway in Red Hook, Brooklyn…
