It is with great sadness that we bring you news of the death of Bob Guskind, the veteran journalist who founded the blog The Gowanus Lounge three years ago. Swimming in the same small pond over this time, we got to know and and appreciate Bob for the passion with which he devoted himself to his subjects and his gentle-bear demeanor. While holding down a day job as a blogger for Curbed, Bob worked 16 hour days for years to publish his own blog, which was unequaled in its coverage and criticism of development and local issues in Coney Island, Gowanus, and Williamsburg. We are at a loss for words. Our thoughts are with his family today. Other tributes today are on OTBKB (from which we borrowed this photo) and New York Shitty.
