One of the things I miss most about living in Williamsburg is the abundance of random and easy to find inspiration. Although quickly evolving into one of Brooklyn’s most gentrified and expensive place to live, hand printed posters, and illegal but often amazing graffiti still cover many of the neighborhoods once industrial buildings and even many of its new construction sites.
It may hardly be a secret, but on any given night, one can shop freely from the many piles of abandoned furniture and artwork that have often been carelessly tossed in front of abandoned homes and building, just waiting for someone to take them home. I have found some of my favorite pieces that way.
Although I will still visit, I am sure it wont ever feel the same…
