That map in the NY Post story confirms what an environmental engineer told me once – DUMBO air pollution is the worst in Brooklyn.
Not sure that the Promenade is one of the TOP 17 scenic locations in the WORLD.
DIBS – I think it means they rotate out the house every 3 weeks and put in one of the other 16. Must get annoying.
think they mean there are 17 private gardens along the promenade.
WRT to Dirty Girls: 1) “seemingly” needs to be banished. It means “I’m trying really hard to write but I can’t think of good words.” 2) What is “mysterious” about the idea that looking like you just rolled out of bed makes people think of sex? Nothing.
