Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(July 14) The rest of the trip to Williamsburg.
There’s a good view of the trains going across the bridge here.
The view of midtown
The view toward Brooklyn
Twilight settles over Manhattan
I love going to places with sidewalk seating
I’d love to have a place like this.
When I got back home, they were repainting this place

(July 14) I decided to walk to Williamsburg over the bridge, at sunset.
I decided to start in Manhattan, so I took the subway to Delancey.
It puts you about a block from the bridge walkway.
A common sight on this site.
One of my favorite things about walking the bridges is the view of the neighborhoods.
The view of Brooklyn in the distance.
Unfortunately, much of the view is defaced by this chicken coop.
I wouldn’t mind taking photos from that staircase.
The Fucking Disaster Road Drive.
Looking up at the bridge.

The non-event parts of June.
The strange sign person was feelin groovy.
Twitter was completely useless. Before Iran at least.
There was “gravy”.
This still claimed not to be a urinal. The evidence still claimed otherwise.
There was URL fail.
There was honeysuckle in Port Jefferson.
There was an unexpected local view of the Empire State Building.
There were many trips to Port Jefferson to do nasty work.

(October 19) Wrapping up the trip to Domino with fourteen more photos, I headed back toward home, with a quick stop to the datacenter down by Wall Street.
By all that’s going up, you’d never know that everything’s going to hell.
And lots of other stuff is coming down to make way for more.
More Bisphenol A than you can shake a stick at.
What is The Secret Behind the Door?
This place made me think of Whatah.
The neighborhood buildings are covered in artwork
Something was going on behind this door as well.
Whatever it was, it did not escape Bette Davis’s eyes.
Fallen something
Construction and life both go on.
And hate is eternal.
This is even pervy-er than his subway ad.
The scene of the crime.
This is the kind of Nine Eleven false patriotism we could all live without.

(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.
Incongruity.
No gift shop at the end of this tour.
