High Line NYC Industrial Replay!

author: CartLegger : New York, NY

A CityNoise, we have developed an affinity for neglect places and things. Which makes the high line a little annoying. (Read more here: www.thehighline.org/about/faq Its the talk of NYC this week. There are even limits on the amount of people that can go on it at one time But its not really that crowded--least not at 9AM on a cloudy Sunday morning! Its not urban decay, its not neglected. And not, its certainly not urbex--not urbex lite even! But for those who cast dispersions at this: Its a park for goodness sakes--albeit a post-industrial take on the concept of constructed nature....

Move It or Loose It 2: CONDEMNED PROPERTY

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

After sitting there with no change for at least 5 days since the Department of Sanitation tagged up the car, I decided to continue this post and stop by for some flicks from a proper camera. "I'm not sure they've made their point clear enough", I thought, sarcastically. Immediately, a voice from behind me called out "Yo, ten dollars to take photos of my car, Peter!" and saw one of my neighbors sitting on her stoop with some friends, laughing. Though I got the story in lurid detail, it basically boils down to...

Move It or Loose It

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Abandoned cars are a comparatively common sight in Bushwick This appears to be the same yellow oil-stick marker that the DOT and Traffic Police use to mark cars that block street-sweepers or chronically abuse alternate side parking regulations, however the message seems to be more casual, and to the point Clearly, no one is going to move it, and it already seems to have been "loosed" onto the streets, so... I took these photos over the course of several days of walking past this clunker, figuring I'd...

Out of a Dream: The Flotilla Boat Club

author: Peter : New York, NY

As a largely industrial waterway, the Harlem River has few access-points for boats, aside from the handfull of the local college crew teams and boathouses... This is what's left of the Flotilla Boat Club At the far-northern tip of Manhattan, just south of The Bronx, which lies directly across the river And down to the waterfront and dock area Urban Canada Geese Yet the yacht traffic continues, despite the passing...

Sidetracked in Harrison: Warehouses South of the PATH Station

author: Peter : Harrison, NJ

A continuation of the Sidetracked in Harrison series, these photos cover several square blocks of warehouses in various stages of use/decay. The particular structures pictured here line the south side of the train track that runs almost directly east-to-west through Harrison, NJ The pink region on the map shows the area in question a little bit more clearly. Here's it's Googlemap, and here is an overview map of Harrison, for context This is the southerly view of the buildings from the NYC-bound PATH platform The

Flashmaps: Main Arteries into New York City & Important Telephone Numbers

author: Peter : New York, NY

I've gotta admit, I'm a sucker for those colors and lines Although we've got 3-1-1 now, I kind of wish some of those "Recorded Information" lines still worked. Anyway, I tried a few of the numbers just for fun... Suicide Prevention was someone's mobile voicemail box. Stock Market Prices was a fax machine, World Series was a dead number and Time of Day was a recording explaining that I had reached a non-working number belonging to the US Government...

Flashmaps: Neighborhoods, Piers and Terminals

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

Not much has changed since 1972, at least in terms of what New Yorker's call their neighborhoods. The "Lower West Side" is Hell's Kitchen and "Lower Broadway" is now the World Trade Center area. Sutton and Tudor seem to have melted into each other some, and into the Upper East Side. Yorkville, too. And I've...
