Two views of the Kentile Floors sign in Gowanus. The land the sign and factory sits on is part of the Superfund Site. Apparently the soil is contaminated with asbestos.

My exit from Dumbo, as witnessed by these two inanimate images.L&H Stern Company in the background. A fading ad through the prism of an archway.

Located in DUMBO, even the outside lighting sends a less than subliminal message: “Cookies“. Yum 🙂

Vespa Trio

My ‘all things Italian design’ obsession continued in Dumbo where I spotted a trio of Vespas this particular morning. Oh, I do love the cobblestone streets, too!

Faded Ad-Dumbo

The sun sliced a wedge-shaped piece out of this old, brick building in Dumbo. In the past couple of years I have shared of few of my NW Fading Ad images with Frank Jump. Since this one was in his neighborhood I thought he might have already published a copy. I love the cast iron window shutters. I’m not sure, but I don’t think there used to be glass windows behind them. Might be retrofitted with glass panes now, though. Also, (if you click to enlarge) note the star-shaped detail every few feet. It’s possible that attached to the back of the star is a long, iron bar that is used for stability in older brick buildings such as this.
