Steve Lonsdale: just been on your web site brings back good memories lived at adamson rd (behind the rock hotel) from 1958 until 1981 i remember fishing under the hump back bridge that led into the power station and the demolition

in response to Barton Power Station

CE: I should note that the brick tenement and the smaller white building in the fourth photo has unfortunately been recently torn down to make way for the expansion of the ÉTS campus.

in response to Griffintown Revisited

CE: This is about a block from my house. It's an unusual street, however, every street in Griffintown (the correct spelling [sorry to be nitpicky]) tends to be pretty weird. I took a very similar picture last winter in this post. Griffintown seems to be a pretty hot topic for...

in response to Griffentown (William)

Diana Manchur-Henke: I lived next door to the Casusos ; went to school with Octavio and Bobby ( St. Barbara's). My building is still up, 170 Harman St. although I doubt it remained well cared for as the Casusos home.Once in awhile I would still come by there and remembered when...

in response to Bushwick 77: The Casusos of Harman St.

EvilGentleman: It's also a "Lover's Lane" of sorts, from what I understand, but you have to be willing to wander in the more deserted back lots and driveways to see that.

in response to Griffentown (William)

Cinic: honestly, no clue, if it is however, I really love this street, it has alot of character, its really unusaly quiet at night, its like no one has any business there.

in response to Griffentown (William)

upfromflames: Thanks! And you can bet I will continue, EG. With my new position as sociology and mapping teacher at the Bushwick Academy for Urban Planning, there will be more history to tell, and a future for my students to help make for our community. Tune in for more here at...

Peter: so dont bother informing us of why its there or anything...?

A1: you have to really know why its there to comment but this is the internet talk without knowledge

in response to Worst Graffiti Evar... Again!

EvilGentleman: I have a pic of the guys who were in the process of painting with a basic little can of white model paint and a paintbrush. They proudly posed for me, but since I do not recall telling them that I might post these pics online, I have opted to...

in response to Welcome to Crack Lane!

Cinic: you know, i always past by in this area at night, but never see anything going down, it would be nice to see some police/crack dealer confrontation, it would make for some great pictures... and perhaps a gun shot to the chest or so... details.

in response to Welcome to Crack Lane!

EvilGentleman: Wonderful article. A lot of history here that needs to be remembered. I hope you will continue to post articles here, even after the Up From Flames exhibit is no longer running.

in response to Bushwick \'77: When the Lights Went Out

Tonytech: I never thought I would see the day, when positive beautiful colors would grace the walls were I played softball as a teenager in the 70's. To see today’s youth caring about something other than themselves warms my hart. And the mural is nice too.

Shadow sage: Hey Chris I emailed you on your Parkour invitation and I emailed you too jack on the club. Ive recently started parkour and have wanted to parkour with someone for the longest time. I am 14 self taught and I know a front flip, back flip, aerial, wall flip, handsprings,...

in response to Brooklyn\'s Rusty Shores

CartLegger: Keep your eyes on the prize, fellas!

in response to Destructionconstruction

CE: So is the AUP a high school with an urban planning focus or is it a college? I just don't understand the New Century High School Initiative that they talk about in the video.

in response to Destructionconstruction

jack: where's the fum, i see fe fi fo but no fum, how the hell could they leave out fum, there should be no fe fi fo if there is no fum, it's like abbott without costello, martin without lewis, kukla, fran and no ollie, shizen, was est los, mox nix,...

jack: barry, you lucky dog, i wish i could go out on a party boat and catch some stripers. i usually go down the shore to union beach and fish for stripers but i only end up with blues, need to get out more, my son-in-law is from minnesota and...

in response to City Island

jack: nice shot of the cathedral in background, you know, they made church steeples the highest thing in the city so when they rang the bells everyone would know where to go. when farmers toiled in the fields they would look to the steeple and say the angelus at noon....

in response to Looking over Downtown

jack: your correct, thanks, i have to tell you that those troop ships were something else, we slept 4 bunks on top of each other and when the boys got sick and threw up in their hammocks and the vomit dripped from cot to cot, i was on the bottom so...

in response to Brooklyn\'s Rusty Shores

in response to Destructionconstruction

Maureen : I graduated from DC in 1963. Barbara Bach (Ringo's) wife was a year behind me. While I was there she was voted Miss Candy Cane - she is truly a natural beauty. I could never figure out if she was quiet or conceited. I know she grew...

in response to Welcome to Crack Lane!

I hate Hutchinson: Hutchinson is full of thieves, drug heads, drunks and general losers. All the people with any promise move from this town and get a life. I was happy to see this website, Exposing the nasty truth! If you have any property in Hutchinson you had better keep tight hands on...

in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

Frustrated: I don't mean to sound uptight and can understand that some country's embrace this practice, but we have no privacy in the world anymore. Going to the restroom is a very personal thing and I personally don't think it needs to be shared with everyone else. I can't even handle...
