Remember the Greenpoint Terminal Market? We do. It was one of our favorite places to shoot pics in Greenpoint and could have been quite something had it been landmarked and restored. It was not to be, however. A couple of weeks after we started GL, it went up in a spectacular fire that is said to have been set by a local drunk scavenging copper. In any case, the site of the fire ravaged buildings is an empty lot now, but here’s a shot of the old skybridges over West Street dropped into our GL Flickr Pool by Glasson.

    I’m glad folks are still talking about GTM.
    There’s been no closure for the community. Especially for lifelong residents. I feel that folks should be protesting that the City is letting that landowner off without so much as a slap on the hand. In fact taxpayer money is helping the guy clean up the site.
