Love that wedding massacre theme, and the gourd trio is priceless. Make sure to walk past to check out the "pun'kin" scenes.
Thanks to Patrick Verel for sending me the photos.

As part of the Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming project, the New York City Department Of Transportation has recently installed wider sidewalks like the one above at the corner of Smith Street and Bergen Street. The purpose of these "neckdowns" is to provide a safer crossing for pedestrians and to slow traffic across Smith Street.
Unexpectedly, the wider sidewalks serve another purpose. Local skateboarders have been enjoying the curbs to perform some very cool tricks. They sure seems to enjoy themselves.
"The project's goal is to make all types of streets function better for all users of the public space."

The sepia photo above was taken in 1928 on Smith Street at Bergen Street. I was standing at the same intersection to take a photo from appropriately the same spot, I almost got run over.
The traffic was horrendous. The trolleys on the old photo look so much more efficient and environmentally correct, don't they?

Pothole alert at the intersection of Bergen Street and Court Street. Someone decided to warn motorists by placing a garbage can into the hole. That seemed to add quite a bit of confusion amongst the drivers, as they steered clear of it at the last moment. But it may have saved a few car axles.
311 Anyone?

The February sun was setting slowly
and the light was fading fast
as I stopped to photograph
the outline of the roosters and Saint
at Vinnie's Italian Ironworks on Bergen Street
