Heat Wave
Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
It was 36c (96f) last night when I snapped this photo, and a minor heatwave has been sweeping the greater NYC area for the past few days...
We call this a Bushwick Carwash. As many do, this vehicle slowed to a creep and drove through the stream, backed up and did it again and again til the light changed...

nice shot, johnnie pumps were all the rage back in the 40's and 50's, the city would attach a hose and hang it on the fence at the schoolyard at boody jr. high on avenue s and west 4th street in brooklyn and all of us kids ran and played and cooled off there. it was fun but one day as the hose popped off a strong stream hit the street and a young girl got hit and was pushed across the street and got bruised up. and yes, we called the fire hydrants, "johnnie pumps". that's where the game called "Johnnie on a pony" came about and moved from the pump to a tree or wall. peter, the mermaid parade in coney is starting this month some time, gotta check the dates.
