Williamsburg Before American Apparel Arrived
We get a fair amount of emails asking us to publicize events in the borough and can't always fit all of them in. Given how awesome this photograph is, though, how could we say no? We were surprised to learn that it was taken as recently as 1986 by a photographer named Joyce George. It's part of a new group show opening on Friday at the Williamsburg gallery ART 101 titled "Williamsburg/Greenpoint: The Disappeared and The Endangered". The curator has also scheduled two walking tours to tie in with the show: This Saturday, Ward Dennis of the Waterfront Preservation Association (who's been known to pop his head up on Brownstoner from time to time) is leading a walking tour of "Endangered Landmarks" from 10-12; on May 21, Stephanie Thayer will tackle housing and development issues. The show runs from May 12 to June 4 at 101 Grand Street between Berry and Wythe, with a reception on May 19. For more information, call 718-302-2242.

Bit early in the morning for such a shot, no? The "bra as bikini" is always an interesting look!

Parts of the neighborhood were still like a pre-WWII Polish village, somehow displaced in NYC, when I lived there back in the '80's. Even Greenpoint really isn't like that anymore.

Right... because sunbathing in an empty garbage filled lot on the East River is something to be nostaglic about. Bring on the condos, get rid of the trash.

OK Anonymous you must be one of the snotty broker/developer types who just never get it and never will. The whole idea of the photo is not that the waterfront shouldn't be developed but that it shouldn't be just for the rich but also for those women in their Maidenform bras and others who are not wealthy enough to buy a condo. (I suppose that is part of your definition of trash?) They deserve the light and air and sense of peace too. The nostalgia is for the fact that ANYONE could feel relaxed enough to sit in the sun in their underwear and enjoy being alive. You ought to try it sometime before it's no longer possible anywhere in NYC. It's going fast.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

This is why nobody should be surprised that the end of the workout session leaves a strange sensation in the penis, the very same sensation experienced by people working out at the gym. The tissues tingle as the blood flows up and down the penis faster than normal, especially since a small part of the cells making up these tissues have broken down and are in the process of rebuilding. The skin might be a little bruised from the grip, while the increase blood flow makes the penis sensitive to the slightest touch. All these sensations are perfectly normal given the recent workout.
