This was a weekday excursion this week. Monday afternoon to be precise, after a dentist’s appointment and a day of work on the new play and coming up with freelance pitches. Studies show green environs improve your mood and walks help you solve problems. Check and check.
Got to the beach for a late afternoon visit this weekend. Yes, I brought the latest draft of my play to read. No, I didn’t read it. But I made you this.
As much as I like Gowanus, sometimes I need to get away. Feeling a bit stuck this summer, so I have to find creative ways to get some vacation-state-of-mind. After an appointment in downtown Manhattan, I stepped outside and noticed: 1) It was a beautiful day and 2) I was right near the Staten Island Ferry (which is free). Just the act of going for the ride brightened my day. Sea air! Wind in the hair! A busker! Wildlife! So I made this one-minute vacation for you.
When I first started this blog, I had no idea that the tagline I created, “blink and you’ll miss it,” would be so apropos.
Things have been changing so fast in the neighborhood. And in life; it’s hard to keep up.
I thought I’d share some recent pics from the neighborhood. And please do get in touch if you are interested in contributing to the Mapping Gowanus project here. Get your block assignment before it’s a glass condo.

Spotted this leaving the Union Street R train. Why does it just break my heart?
