looks like new york does a better job than philly of boarding up its abandoned houses

those shutters... very reminiscent of that type of house in that part of brooklyn, for sure...
colavitos ghost: what part of brooklyn, peter?
Peter: 25th Apr 2007 - 17:29 GMT
certain neighborhoods are just denser-than-average in free-standing clapboard/shutter-style houses like that, while other areas have more brownstones, etc... im assuming this is most likely bushwick or bed stuy...
upfromflames: Bushwick, Grove or Linden st.

I wonder if its foreclosure. We might well be seeing more of these fresh board ups as the latest wave of predatory lending leaves its wake across the country. Not that it will do much damage in a hot market, but it was this sort of stuff that led to the fires of the 1970's.

Woodbine street, to be exact. Between Central and Evergreen. These blocks are chocked full of such quaint decrepitude. Pay them a visit sometime. You'll find no similar place in the city, I think.

Abandoned Shipyard
I don't know much about this place except that most of these crumbling structures are what remains of an abandoned shipyard in the northwest section of Staten Island.
Perhaps some of my fellow adventurers can give us some more info?
