Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Saturday, April 1st, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
As today was nice, warm and sunny, I decided to hop on the Vespa, head down towards Coney Island and snap some photos of Jack's old neighborhood...
Instead, I got caught in one of those freak springtime rainstorms that NYC is known for, and as the scooter is 43 years old, hates the rain and loves fishtailing on wet pavement (a terrible combination on Ocean Parkway!) I quickly headed back home...
But not, at least, before snapping these two cursory cameraphone shots of Avenue U...
I'll get back there soon, Jack, I promise. Today just wasn't the day...
(btw, this was near where I shot photos for this entry last year...)

pete, if i had known you would be there i would have met up and we could have snapped pics of you and i shooting each other. thx for the pic's. i used to hang there on the avenue with some pretty rough guys. most of them are dead, natural or otherwise. i was considered a civilian. believe it or not those guys on the avenue had respect for police officers. but business was business and they stretched the law a little too much. we had a little social club on east 7th street and we played cards late at night called boss and underboss. if you won you were boss.
jack: we would take you out back and shoot you.
