Staying Together on Division
Sorry in advance for the cuteness factor, but I couldn’t resist taking pictures of these two stray cats down on Division Ave & Kent Ave in Williamsburg. Everywhere they went, they walked side by side, practically pressed up against each other. I wish I had a few more to show how unwilling to separate they…
Oldsmobile of Flatbush
I love traveling down Flatbush Ave past Prospect Park because there’s so much history to find hidden on every block. I noticed this Oldsmobile ghost sign (ghost sign: a business sign remaining from a long defunct business) at the corner of Avenue D and Flatbush above a liquor store: God knows how long ago this…

Brooklyn’s Mansion on the East River
I was walking down Hudson Ave today in Brooklyn’s Vinegar Hill neighborhood when I realized I’d never taken any of the roads leading east. Why not?

Good question, that’d be too bad if they were stolen.
I was over there this weekend, and that’s definitely where they used to be…
