25 Night Photos of Christmas Lights in McGolrick Heights (Greenpoint) PART 2

It’s Christmas in Brooklyn, people. And my part of Greenpoint, Brooklyn has been known to me for many years as McGolrick Heights.  Subtract the rough & tumble junkies of Greenpoint Avenue and add the quaint coziness of the drunk McGolrick Park poopers and a dash of holiday spirit (or is it spirits?) and you are in my hood.   I’ve included residences and businesses alike. I especially enjoy the range of possibilities available out there this season; I like some people’s very minimalist approach and at the same time, you just gotta love when people go all out. National Grid says thank you. Enjoy, kiddos! Check out PART 1 here.

North Henry

North Henry Street in Greenpoint has some really pretty spots, including this awesome tree.

And the interesting outdoor second floor area that these people have. Definitely a good place for some party and BBQ action.

Money’s Worth

Combined it looks more like eight cubic yards.  These dumpsters on North Henry Street are notoriously filled to the brim.  I’m pretty sure people from all walks of life in Greenpoint frequent this spot to either unload their shit or find treasures. I know I have.
