In the 1920’s,Robert Moses could foresee that the Port of NY, then one of NYC’s economic engines, was in danger of becoming obsolete. The trucks to and from the piers on Manhattan’s West and Lower East Side were always fighting the other types of traffic, and the speace for staging cargo was getting tighter.
Moses proposed that the Port Of NY move its main operations to a completely new area, located in Brooklyn. His proposal was accepted, and work began on the new port. Piers were built, as well as adjacent lofts and even housing for the workers. The project did not advance far, however, because the funding stopped (I think due to the Great Depression, but I’m not sure).
Until recently, remains of this “new” port remained. There were some loft buildings left standing, that were only recently leveled. The housing still stands,however.
Question: in what part of Brooklyn was this new port to be located?
ENY, DIBS on vac
I’m not bored without the What.
DIBS is on vacay.
Uh…Red Hook?
Maybe he’s working for a change! ; )
What happened to DIBS?
I guess the President just left…the helicopters just zoomed very low over my head.
How about my weekly NYC trivia quiz?

“I guess the What’s ban is permanent.”
