10 of Jax's Most Endangered Historic Places

[Adam White]

Of all these I think I'm the most disappointed by Park Street in Brooklyn. That had the ability to turn into something really cool with all the new development nearby. But now the buildings are coming down as soon as the developers get a hold of the lot. Lame.

None of those dumpy old buildings fit in with what is going on with Riverside. None of them. Why keep them? Why try and put lipstick on a pig? Brooklyn is NOT looking backward, its moving FORWARD. Forget the old dumpy buildings, there are plenty still remaining in Durkeeville and Robinson's Addition, plenty to go hug and keep in neighborhoods that continue to go backward.

Move forward!

But what of all the "outsiders" that might be attracted by new developments? Surely you won't want to see Brooklyn also suffer the blight of "westside trailer trash".

That cluster on both sides of Myrtle Avenue just south of the old Streetcar Subway Tunnel would make one hell of a 'Gas Light District'.

This just in 95% of those polled at 220 Riverside said they moved there for the location, restaurants and shopping, 4% said they were forced to move there in order to find a spouse, and the remaining 1% included all those who wanted to hang out on Park Street after dark.

So clearly the westside trailer trash was in the minority...

You should've taken longer to reply. You can do better than that.

I don't know, I lost my spare pocket change to the rest of the residents of North Brooklyn during the poll.
