Gowanus was the wild west hidden amongst the most expensive real estate in America. The surrounding neighborhoods of south Brooklyn are the glorious brownstone-lined streets of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Red Hook. Every street is full from beginning to end. Not so in Gowanus.
Warehouses used as graffiti canvases, open space, abandoned buildings, a waterfront with few people. It was the last remnant of old New York.
