As in most cities, having a car is not easy..... last time we parked in a garage and never moved it the whole time.... this time, there is on-street parking, you just have to be aware of the parking regulations.... So, this morning was car moving time!
We get up early so it was really not an issue.... found a spot a little further from the apartment than my original one and got to see some interesting scenery along the way....
There is great variety to the fronts of the homes.... There are Victorian ones like the one above... but just across the street you can see one of these...
All of these were on the walk back from the parking of the car.... Java Street between West Avenue and Manhattan....this area is known to contain a large number of "wooden buildings".... so notable that there are walking tours of the wooden homes.....
The ethnic make up of Greenpoint is mixed, but the Polish roots are strong... many folks are speaking Polish in the neighborhood stores and shops..... I'll try to gather some more photos to illustrate later in the visit....
