Walkin' In Brooklyn

A Saturday walk in Red Hook! And a nice day for it as well. I had to drive to a park in Red Hook to pick up a couple of bags of compost that my wife had reserved through some city agency program or other. Afterward, I was able to find a spot to park, so I walked a loop around the area. My Saturday morning started at Coffey Park. It was a beautiful day, so I looked for someplace to park and found a spot on Visitation Place. I have to say that I knew that Visitation parish was someone in this area, but I didn't know where.

It didn't see like three miles but I guess it's because I only did a few blocks. I started off on the bus to Brooklyn College, but I got off at Ave I and Bedford Ave. I knew years ago, that I'd be rewalking these streets a lot. New York Ave is interrupting for housing between the freight line (the future IBX) and Flatbush Ave. There's a small piece between Flatbush and Ave I. The first three photos are facing north and facing south from Ave I. The third photo is just before Kings Highway. Walking down Kings Highway to East 34 Street, I came to Fraser Square, which I took pictures of when I walked a huge chunk of Kings Highway. The road circles around the square. And then off I went up East 34 Street. East 34 St runs north past Fl...
