Gaze in awe upon the magnificent spectacle of the incredible Newtown Creek, that lugubrious cataract of urban neglect which doth form the currently undefended border of Brooklyn and Queens. Not saying how I got this shot, but perhaps in a great and atypical feat of athleticism a humble narrator leaped from one borough to the next. It’s possible.

Contentious topic in the conversations around superfund, and one I’ve been pushing the EPA and the rest about. So far, they’ve done one – as in a single – day of air testing and don’t think they need to do more.
