brooklyn ...
no fridaycation
this week
tho
i did get to leave the office early
its not the same
saturday
i joined a small group of curious people
on a walk
through
the carroll gardens/gowanus area of brooklyn
quite a contrast
between
these two
very close to one another areas
carroll gardens is
elegant
elegant
stately way rows
of
once
single family homes
with
large front yards
yes
thats a pear tree!
lead down
to
the gowanus area
to
the gowanus area
you cross
a bridge
a 126 year old
107 foot
wooden
retractable bridge
(here's a link to an article in the ny times)
it links
park slope to carroll gardens
spanning
the gowanus canal
that mural
sits alongside
that junk yard
walking down 3rd avenue
you walk past
the morbid anatomy museum
(click here if you want to see what we didnt)
we skipped that
in favor of
pie!
click here
to
see
what
four & twenty blackbirds
serve
excellent coffee
a slice of sweet tomato peach pie
whipped creme
deeeeeevine
then a short walk to the subway
wait
due
to
the extensive weekend track work
a derailed train earlier in the week
the closest subway station
was
closed
too lazy
er
tired
to walk
to
the next station
we cabbed it back
