Back to Manhattan

Brooklyn, land of wonder

A view looking into Crown Heights from the Franklin Ave. Shuttle, on the way to the train to the plane. Then, at JFK.

Waiting for the A-train, on my way back home. A short trip, indeed.

Mr. Softee asked me to not take pictures, but I did manage this snap. Top secret ice cream.

Unidentified folding object, Washington Ave., seems to be waiting for someone.

Sometimes Brooklyn just means beer.

7th Ave at Park Place for the Q and B trains.

A stroll down 5th Ave, Park Slope, for some serious brownstone action.

Urban blight, urban urging, urban gardening

Came across this unfortunate scene on Grand Avenue, Brooklyn.

What's behind the fence - lotsa trash that I swear was 'moving' as in possibly rodents running throughout. A rat runs through it!

What's also behind the fence - an overgrown lot below street level.

And from this point of view, I'd say the whole thing is going to fall over any day now.

And in the next block of Grand, some encouragement to take part in the democratic process.

Right in front of Tom's Restaurant, favorite pancake hangout of cops and hipsters, a tiny tomato patch.

Stuff and Awe, Brooklyn & Manhattan

Catch the Franklin Ave. Shuttle here, a somewhat pleasant station at Franklin and Park Place.

The ATM awaits, Washington Ave., near the Brooklyn Museum.

The last plot of undeveloped land? Brooklyn waterfront. Nice view for a river rat.

Waterfall, Brooklyn.

The worst hardware store in Brooklyn.

Heath and Keith.

No parking at all. Park Place, Brooklyn.

Not here, either.

Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Union Square East, Manhattan

After Midnight

Ever wonder what's behind those mysterious doors that are tucked away in corners of the stations? I could not reach around the corner to see, but my camera could.

The maintenance trains - open cars, rolling loudly through the station at odd hours.

The end of the evening.
