My Life In Brooklyn

Now that some of my work commitment has lessened, I’ve been looking forward to hitting to pavement to have a look at some of the progress in lots of buildings that have been mentioned here over the past months.

Yesterday I walked along Ocean Avenue and was looking forward to seeing the building located between 555 and 575.  It appears to be a huge project; I’ve seen the beams towering above the perimeter fence for months now and was actually very surprised yesterday to see little or no progress since last October.

I am actually unsure of the street number, but if you Google 565 Ocean and look at the hybrid map at close range, you will clearly see two very large houses were torn down to build whatever it is that is in progress.  Small version of that image below. Very near to this property is Tennis Court which has some gorgeous buildings.

Anyway, maybe I am totally wrong on this, but seeing nothing happen from October 19 until now, April 26 — well, it has to make you wonder.  I will place the hi-res versions of these pics on my flickr account.
