ENY-The picture or the company?

The picture - that firehouse is on Bergen Street between Troy and Schenectady. I walk my dog around here almost every morning.

By the way, nice shot, T.

Yeah, was going to say the same. It's a great old firehouse inside, too, but definitely in Crown Heights.

Please. Crown Heights is way cooler than Bed-Stuy. Let's not continue the scam of smushing it into Bed-Stuy and then ignoring it. AL Vann has been playing that game for years!

Rescue 2 is in Crown Heights- that company is known as a kick-ass elite fire company -and a number of the firefighters lost in 9-11 worked here at one time or another.

Hope people checked out his website- incredible photography!
