Out of a Dream: The Flotilla Boat Club

author: Peter : New York, NY

As a largely industrial waterway, the Harlem River has few access-points for boats, aside from the handfull of the local college crew teams and boathouses... This is what's left of the Flotilla Boat Club At the far-northern tip of Manhattan, just south of The Bronx, which lies directly across the river And down to the waterfront and dock area Urban Canada Geese Yet the yacht traffic continues, despite the passing of Flotilla A few checks found inside the structure give a vague time-frame. They read like a list of defunct NYC institutions, also... U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla, the New York Telephone Company, and [[goo:Chase Manhattan...

Sidetracked in Harrison: Warehouses South of the PATH Station

author: Peter : Harrison, NJ

A continuation of the Sidetracked in Harrison series, these photos cover several square blocks of warehouses in various stages of use/decay. The particular structures pictured here line the south side of the train track that runs almost directly east-to-west through Harrison, NJ The pink region on the map shows the area in question a little bit more clearly. Here's it's Googlemap, and here is an overview map of Harrison, for context This is the southerly view of the buildings from the NYC-bound PATH platform The gravel road runs along the raised rail-bed, and gaps in the wall indicate where rail-spurs used to enter and...

Dig Dug

author: Peter : Harrison, NJ

The backhoe operator saw me taking photos and showed off by reaching really close to me and snatching up a giant scoop of dirt. Too bad my shutter has so much delay, haha. Harrison, NJ

Bushwick: Wild Dogs Gone Soft

Bushwick's just ain't what it used to be. I hear from many old timers that packs of wild dogs would wander the empty streets and take up homes in the hollow houses. I thought they were no more. But I found...
