| Brooklyn-Queens Expressway seen from Manhattan Bridge. BQE was an idea of Robert Moses, visionary in his day, accused for destroying many beautiful NYC neighborhoods today. BQE cuts through some historic quarters of Brooklyn and Queens, separating communities and causing pollution and crime. Here in Dumbo, some of the oldest blocks in Brooklyn are divided by this, sometimes, three-level freeway. |

| It is illegal in New York to park within eight or ten feet within a fire hydrant (can't really remember now). Unless you leave a passenger as a lookout like they did here :) Somewhere in the West Sixties. |
