Signs of Things to Come

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign...

Tuesday morning Kent Avenue was festooned with a forest of new signage, all of it foreshadowing the state of things to come:


Workmen fastened signage to the new fence surrounding Douglaston's The Edge construction site at Kent and North 6th in compliance with NYC Department of Building regulations. A handy guide should imnotsayin staff witness any unsafe conditions at this site.


A second crew closed off parking at the dead end of North 6th at the river. Last week a foreman had assured us that "it would be a few weeks until they had the authority to close it down for good." This morning, when pressed, the heavies admitted the rope treatment was just temporary, while Con Ed crews run power to the job site.


Finally, a good sign: we were misinformed by Brooklyn's Finest Sunday evening. The East River State Park did open for a few hours on Sunday, as the "Earth Day" signage predicted. We'll dig in to what "we will be officially open soon" means and report back. Until then, we'll bask in the memories of a beautiful weekend on the Williamsburg waterfront...
