What’s in Your Mailbox?

Apparently it is customary, in Red Hook (Brooklyn), to leave coffee out for the postman(woman). Apparently it is customary for the postal delivery person in Red Hook to deliver coffee as well as the usual material.

More Positive

Perhaps a more positive look at the Gowanus Canal neighborhood. Although I enjoy the seamier side of things ( as in urban decay ) I thought I should post this image of a business building that is pretty cool looking, complete with the old pick up truck.

Directly ahead on this sidewalk is the canal. Not a very inviting place. At about this point is where one picks up the scent of the canal. I think this sign is a Parks Dept. sign. Not sure if this sign just ended up here or that this SuperFund site is pretending to be a park.

Old Truck

Spotted in a garage in Gowanus. Since this location was fairly close to the Gowanus Canal I would assume it flooded During Superstorm Sandy.

The Old Stone House

Back to Brooklyn, for a moment. This is The Old Stone House located in J.J. Byrne Park on 5th Ave. The park was recently renovated and attracts many Park Slope Parents and their children.
