nice. that looks like a bit of a home from home for me, i would definitely want to go there next time i'm in NY

its only a few blocks away from the voo voo building. i love this part of town. id live there if it was a little less remote. it has easy subway access and all, but its mostly industrial/loft space without a ton of ammenities. like groceries within walking distance, etc.

but it sure ios a good place to go for a walk/bike ride/etc... :)

The first picture has scary primary colors, like a Michael Graves building.

after the ten rainy days in october, i went for a really nice ride through this neighborhood and fell in love with it. i have some friends that live on the west side of the canal in a renovated oil tank.

let's go for a ride soon!

jeeff: i was thinking hte same thing... heh. that sort of thing isnt unheard of around here. people will squat in just about anything that keeps the heat/rain/snow/rats off of you.

That first photo looks like something outta disneyworld or perhaps universal studios. also: nice legs

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 18th Nov 2005 - 17:04 GMT

Are they your legs, Peter?
Nice shoes.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 18th Nov 2005 - 17:47 GMT

I've been taking pictures of my feet/shoes for a while now. As I'm surreptitiously getting out my camera and turning off the flash, I lull onlookers into a false sense of security by taking a picture of my shoes. They just think I’m a freak who likes her own feet and they look away. That’s when I grab the candid shot and run away hooting.

feet on the crosstown bus... i guess ive had a few pairs of chucks over the years, heh...

The Gowanus Canal was built with a tunnel connecting it to the bay, and pumps, to move out the industrial effluent and just general stagnant water. The pumps failed and hence the canal's I am told justifiable reputation for appalling stench. It seems to me that around '01-'02 the system was repaired, and people started talking about pleasure boating on the canal. Which to those of us who knew it then
