20 Pix Of Brix

If you’re a regular reader of Brooklyn Imbecile, you’ll know that I have a bit of a bricks fetish.

I love the pairing of a geometric grid construction coupled with organic, non-rectangular signs of wear and tear, weathering and climate-based chemical reactions.

These bricks come from part of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in Dumbo, Brooklyn, at York & Adams Streets near the Manhattan Bridge.

Here’s 16 more super saturated deteriorating bricks just for you my friend…

 

More special bricks here, here, here, here, here, but definitely not here.

The Garden Of Earthly Debt

I used to live less than a block away from The Garden in the “historic” part of Greenpoint.  I must have funneled $10K+ into this place over the years on expensive cheese, prepared Polish food & desserts of all kinds. But that was in a different economy.  Walking through it today, for the first time in about half a year, it made me feel like I was visiting an estranged ex-girlfriend or better yet, an old habit that cost me way too much.  The interior design and frenzy of food has a subconscious effect that just seduces you into spending $35 more than you were planning to.  I ended up leaving and not buying anything. Like that old blow habit, I’m so done with you The Garden.
