Carroll Gardens–Cobble Hill

Saturday, April 26, 2008

Pissing match on Dean St

Boerum Hill: Residents of a block in Boerum Hill have known for months that rogue urinators were defiling their street, but never had the proof to convince local police of a scatological conspiracy on Dean Street — until now. Comment.

Not a walk in the park

Cobble Hill: Police swept through Cobble Hill Park at least twice last week, issuing summonses to several people for violating the park’s curfew. Comments (3).

One for two

Carroll Gardens: Burglars tried to plunder two apartments in a Union Street building on April 17, but only managed to break into one of them. Plus all the other crime news from Red Hook, Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill’s 76th Precinct. Comment.

Facing smoke on the water

Brooklyn South: Our man floats down the Gowanus Canal (in a man-sized condom!). Comments (1).

‘Hudson’ hawks: Warehouse owner loves Public Place plan

Gowanus: As if the project to transform a toxic tract along the Gowanus Canal into a residential community with shopping and park space wasn’t ambitious enough, the proposal is poised to become even bigger by adding a neighboring site to the mix. Comment.

Sponge on the canal

Gowanus: The banks of the Gowanus Canal would become pollution-sucking sponges thanks to an innovative plan put forward this week by the Gowanus Canal Conservancy — but details for implementation remain as murky as the canal’s notorious waters. Comments (1).

Cheyenne Diner’s Red Hook–bound

Red Hook: A beloved, but nearly doomed, retro Manhattan diner will get a second lease on life in Red Hook. Comment.
