Inside the Ruins of the Greenpoint Terminal Market

2006_4_insidegpt1.jpg

Yesterday we bicycled into Brooklyn with JCN to get some pictures of the rubble left over from the Greenpoint Terminal Market fire. The police still have a few blocks of West Street closed off, but a furniture store in one of the remaining buildings was open for a "fire sale." We walked into the store and out the back, and snapped a bunch of pictures of the ruins. You can see the whole set on Flickr-- but this panorama is the money shot (be sure to check it out large.). It's hard to describe the scale of the destruction, so we're not even going to try-- just take a look.

I love it, : )

The big place along the FDR Is such a cool place: would have been great as is as a set of lofts - apartments etc. It has a large central space and a bosses office over it all. Really classic. Shame to see the city filled with all the new junk.
