Greenpoint Skybridges Down

Gowanus Lounge's Saturday morning went south in a hurry when he saw this widely linked photo of the wonderful skybridges over West Street at the Greenpont Terminal Market coming down. The photo is credited to Martina Salisbury, and when she took it, the three skybridges were down to one. No doubt, when GL stops by for a look at this awful erasure of Brooklyn's industrial waterfront history with GL'ette, nothing will be there.

Except that sad, sad pile of smokey rubble.
