Being a Gawker in Greenpoint: It's All About the Cranes

No, not that kind of Gawker. This kind of gawker. Our Greenpoint correspondent forwarded these images she'd captured in the neighborhood during a morning constitutional on Huron Street, where a crane is hard at work lifting material for 143 Huron, which may be one of the most glared at construction sites in all of Brooklyn. (For now.) Generally speaking, however, there's something we love about these pics of people gawking at construction sites, most likely the sense of resignation about the inevitable that seem to convey so powerfully with those blank stares.
