Exactly a year ago today, Gowanus Lounge Blogger Bob Guskind passed away. His voice and his site is still very much missed here in Brooklyn, never more so than in this last week.
You see, Bob was passionate about the Gowanus Canal and would have been incredibly pleased by the recent news that the Environmental Protection Agency was placing the extremely polluted waterway on its list of Superfund sites.
Bob, I am sure, would have been elated by the announcement.
His outspokenness on the subject inspired many in the community to fight for a clean canal.
I know he inspired me.
I am sorry I did not get to celebrate this victory with him.
Here is to you, Bob!


The Carroll Gardens Coalition For Respectful Development (C.O.R.D.) just published a lovely tribute by Phil dePaolo . Please check t out here.
