What’s the white tubes and machine in front of St. Ann’s church on Montague St.? Just curious.

Mary Frost from the Brooklyn Eagle has a new article highlighting that DOT is also considering “more modest repairs” to the cantilever potentially sparing the promenade. Will this whole affair turn into one big anti-climax?

I like the prospect mentioned in the article of at least reducing it from 6 lanes down to 4.

Did anyone hear what sounded like one gunshot coming from Cadman Park (maybe) last night? I heard it around 11pm.

What an article. Thanks Cassie. Wow.
