Let's Face It: Brooklynites Of Yesteryear Were Greener Than We Are

Reader Guido saw my post from a few days ago about my regret of not seeing laundry fluttering in the breeze to dry anymore. Well, guess what! In Bay Ridge, it still seems to be a common sight. Guido sent me this lovely photo and wrote:

Here's a shot that I took late last summer in Bay Ridge. It reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting.

Too bad that there wasn't some woman leaning out the window reeling in/out the line.
How sad that this sight has become a rarity. One would think that the sound of laundry fluttering in the warm backyard breezes would be a commonplace occurrence in Carroll Gardens. I guess we're too busy nowadays to take the time for this chore.

Or just maybe Winn Discount doesn't sell clothespins anymore.
