the Q at Parkside: Triangulation

The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

But in this day and age, it's actually a $2.5 million plot worthy of the following:

This style of architecture I like to call "21st Century Magna-Tile" design, a post-post-post-modern school that is alternately referred to as the Amazon.com Movement, or ACM for short. For more information, go to Wikipedia. However, for more information on this particular topic, just ask anyone hanging out at the Subway sandwich shop.

And as photographers that gives us lots of opportunity for new photography art,

Clarkson FlatBed said...: Yeah, and what are those three doing staring at that tree? Some kind of ritual? Is it a May Day thing?

I also like those tiny little rectangular patches of green on the sidewalk. For putting practice?; October 16, 2014 at 10:03 PM
