Everything You Dreamed It Would Be
Friday, May 09, 2008
Ah! I love the smell of isolation so close to the projects and a highway. The Brooklyn Navy Yard is empty, dusty, and full of whirling dust devils and apparitions of cowboys in spurs. Ghosts of the woebegone battleships Iowa, North Carolina, Antietam, and the country's first ironclad ship, the USS Monitor, dance in the nation's memory as you, hysterically, dance in the shadow of the Brooklyn moon, a few Hasidic fast-walkers, and, oh, movie makers en route to the Steiner Studios which opened in 2004. Whoever thought there'd be a movie studio in a previously asbestos-covered navy yard? What would the ghosts of legions of WPA workers think about that?!
