Inside the Ruins of the Greenpoint Terminal Market

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.
