The Gowanus neighborhood is changing every day, with buildings appearing and disappearing seemingly overnight. How do you keep up with the pace of this transformation?
For many of us who live or work in Gowanus, photographs are a way to remember what once was–which buildings have been replaced by new development, which parks used to be vacant lots–and also serve as a future reference for what currently is. Memories of Gowanus’s industrial past still linger between luxury residential towers and the Gowanus Canal which has defined the neighborhood since the 19th century.
