Continuing through Downtown Brooklyn through to DUMBO, I finally arrived in the area. Remembering it only as industrial, I was surprised at how much there was to see.
Manhattan Bridge
Wooden sculpture
Driftwood bench
Zeus (Bates Wilson)
Nature Matching System, inspired by the color of fresh vegetables and fruits
From here you can see one of the Manhattan wretched “waterfalls”
The Museum of Modern Arthur (?)
I took the photo because I liked the artwork on the restaurant.
When I got home, I realized that awful Nike sign
is where a Revs & Peek mural used to be.
Exit DUMBO here!

Since my last post here, I lost all my photos, except those on this site to a hard drive failure.
In December, I went into Manhattan with Pete and his cousin Maria, to see the store displays, and have dinner at Bice.
Pedro and Maria
That’s a lot of candy.
Then in January we went to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, followed by dinner at Novecento.
The most pretentious McDonald’s I’ve ever seen. The food is still McDonald’s.
None of them is real.
Finally, in February I went to see Sleepwalkers.
Edit: I forgot about the McDonald’s downtown with the piano player, which I saw once back in the 80’s, so the jury’s still out on the most pretentious McDonald’s in the city, (or that I’ve ever seen).
