Street Artist Proposes on Subway Signage
David clued us in to this great set of pictures of the Kentile sign in Gowanus. Check out the slideshow for a "23 Views of South Brooklyn" experience. Sadly, we could only track down one photo of the Eagle Clothes sign on Flickr-- it gets a lot less attention than the Kentile sign because it is harder to see from the F Train as you come in from Manhattan. And for more Gowanus goodness, check out this very timely article on Forgotten-NY.

Sigh. It's depressing to think that one day, the creeping Manhattanization of Brooklyn and Queens may mean the end of sights like these, low-rise neighborhoods where you can actually see broad swaths of sky. (Although that process will almost certainly not be complete in our lifetimes, thankfully.) Not that I hate Manhattan, but a little bit of variety never hurts. Let Manhattan be Manhattan and Brooklyn be Brooklyn. Screw Ratner.
And how could you point to Forgotten-NY without linking to the page about the Kentile and Eagle signs? There's lots of good stuff in the F-NY archives.
Why, thank you.

it was quite a surprise to find one of my pictures in the slideshow. (wow...) chosen by a keyword. : )
