Feeling a pang of nostalgia for the former Revere Sugar Dome and factory in Red Hook? The site may have been leveled, but the spirit of it lives on. Gowanus Lounge received a photo (above right) from Adam Suerte of Brooklyn Tattoo, along with the story of a man and his wife who were leaving their home in Red Hook for Puerto Rico. "One of their favorite views down by the water was of the Revere Sugar Refinery. So, being a fan of my style, he asked me to do a drawing of the refinery, then tattoo it on him. And so it was." What demolished building would you have permanently placed on your skin?
