Union Hall Meeting: The Video
Here's a video we shot after CB6's land-use/landmarks committee made a motion to recommend that the State Liquor Authority deny Union Hall's liquor license renewal. The first speaker is Lou Sones, who introduced the motion. The second speaker, another committee member, talks about his misgivings over the motion.

Video: Inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard
On the heels of yesterday's video of the Naval Hospital, here's another slightly haphazard one of the Navy Yard itself. Since it was taken as we rode our bicycle around hoping not to catch the eye of any security personnel, it is also lacking a bit in production quality, so proceed with caution.

Video: Inside the Brooklyn Naval Hospital
While not our finest moment in terms of production quality (we shot out the window of a car on our cheapo family video camera under tight time constraints), if you've never had a chance to see inside the Brooklyn Naval Hospital, which is at the corner of Kent and Flushing Avenues, you should still get a kick out of this one. As was announced last week, the hospital grounds are going to be turned into some sort of media campus.
