Although the fares haven’t gone up yet, the subway is already too expensive. I predict walking is going to be on the rise.
Someone was in too much of a hurry though.
I decided to walk from the Financial District to the West Village to save $2
But I suddenly found myself at the library with only these.
(October 19) At long last, the main event. The former Domino Sugar Refinery of Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the East River, formerly Havemeyer and Elder’s Sugar Refining Company, and soon to be luxury apartments with a killer view of the east side of midtown Manhattan.
Once upon a time, long, long ago, things were manufactured in New York City.
Now we call these graveyards “historical landmarks”.
Next stop: Luxury apartments.
The landmark sign that inspired protests.
New York City used to be the “sugar capital” of the USA.
The sad remains of what once was.
That sound you hear off in the distance is called gentrification.
No gift shop at the end of this tour.
