This was actually super interesting because I always play handball at 4th ave and 4th st and I had no idea the Gowanus Canal was just a few blocks away being all gross.
SECTION 1: Grand Army Plaza to 5th
There was a pharmacy, a fitness center, a few yoga spots, a sushi place and I also saw that crate that James was talking about. Those usually show up in construction sites so my guess was that one of the buildings was recently restored. I don’t know how it will be disposed of though
SECTION 2: 5th to Nevins
I agree with James, the area is becoming more industrial as you walk however, nowhere is too dirty to live. Some unfortunate soul is there dealing with his surroundings there .
SECTION 3: Union Street Bridge
I didn’t smell anything but the cold might have been affecting my smell. There was at least one factory in the distance and there was a lot of smoke. The water was a disturbing color, I wouldn’t exactly swim in it.
Section 4: The Carroll Street Bridge
I’m pretty sure it was low tide but I have no idea what high tide looks like so what do I know?
If the high tide increase 3 ft I think it would hold but rain would be a very serious problem.
