hi! i’m thinking of making an offer on a house 1 block from the top of the Gowanus Canal near Hoyt st. I have a 6 month old baby and a bit spooked by all the Gowanus toxicity reports. was wondering if any neighbors around there have any insight? thanks, Julia

  1. Ignore the clownish comments above.

    Your children will be perfectly fine. Are you planning on letting them swim in the canal? Didn’t think so. Air quality is fairly uniform throughout Brooklyn. Nothing to stress over.

  2. I hear the YMCA is starting a “Water Babies” class in the Gowanus Canal for the summer — but if you haven’t already registered for it, it’s too late ’cause it’s already full.

  3. If this is a legit question, I don’t think there really is an issue with that. Especially since they have/are thinking of opening a Wholefoods right there.
