Futon Ferry Parking Blocked?


Can anyone tell me why the little parking area by the ferry landing is blocked? Is it temporary, or are they not going to have any parking there anymore? Thanks.

Finnish Coops


Hi. I’m looking for a better understanding of how a Finnish Coop works. Why are the prices well below market? Why are some cash only? What does all this mean when you want to sell your unit? How is the selling price established? Have searched all over the Internets and on Brownstoner — finding virtually nothing.

Sandy Waterfront in Brooklyn?


OK, I know this is not a strict Brownstoner question/topic. But I can’t find an answer anywhere else and I know people on here will know.

I live in Carroll Gardens. For medical reasons, I need to start walking on sand daily. I’m trying to find a sandy area on the water that is closer than Coney Island. I have to be able to drive there; can’t take the subway or bus. I’m hoping that someone knows some little spot, natural or man made, somewhere in Red Hook, or between the bridges, or some place I’m not thinking of that I can get to without a huge commute. Thanks.
