Karl on Squibb Park Bridge Progress

Claude Scales — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 01:43:20 +0000

Mr. J. is a fan of all things Brooklyn Bridge Park. In the video (see after the jump) he’s given us some glimpses of progress in construction of the pedestrian bridge that will connect Squibb Park, just below Columbia Heights near the path that leads from Middagh Street, with Brooklyn Bridge Park. The poured concrete supports that will hold the wooden bridge aloft are being installed at the BBP level. He also shows work being done to improve the access ramp from the sidewalk at Columbia Heights down to Squibb Park. Sections of the wooden bridge are being fabricated offsite; we look forward to their arrival.

Glenn Markman on Dellarocco’s, the Beach Shack, the Nets, and Brooklyn’s Future

Claude Scales — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:10:31 +0000

Karl and his cam got quite the workout Friday evening. Following his visit to the opera in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Dellarocco’s “soft opening”, he asked Glenn Markman about his views on his and his partners’ new venture, Dellarocco’s, and got an answer that extended to discussion of the new Beach Shack, Brooklyn Bridge Park, downtown Brooklyn, the Nets, the Bossert Hotel, Brooklyn real estate in general, and prospects for the future. Video after the jump.

Opera in Brooklyn Bridge Park Gains in Popularity

Claude Scales — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:56:39 +0000

Signore Carlo, before sampling pizza at Dellarocco’s soft opening, headed with his cam to his favorite local destination, Brooklyn Bridge Park, to catch some of the Metropolitan Opera’s performance there yesterday evening. Fortunately, he had some video of the 2010 Met performance in his now substantial vault, and so is able to show how this event’s popularity has increased. Video after the jump.

Police Cart Burns Near Pier 1

Claude Scales — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 22:35:25 +0000

Karl and his cam were on hand around noon today when a small NYPD vehicle caught fire on the path next to Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park, producing an impressive plume of smoke. He was able to get some good video until one of the gens d’armes (Hey! It’s Bastille Day) objected (update: to use a favorite Finkism, objected err somethin’). Video after the jump.

NYPD shoos Karl away from harm.

Publisher’s note: We would like to thank the NYPD officer who asked Karl to stop video taping the fire. While commenters here seem to think the officer was attempting to stomp out coverage of a local news event, we can only assume that the officer was only very concerned about Mr. J’s safety and we thank him. Seriously folks, Karl wasn’t dancing or anything like that.

Karl and the Nets: Perfect Together?

Claude Scales — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 02:23:52 +0000

Our man with cam was on hand for the ceremonies at Borough Hall as Borough President Marty Markowitz welcomed the Nets to Brooklyn. He watched as all star backcourt Joe Johnson and Deron Williams were introduced; then, at the press conference afterward, had a tough question for Nets’ GM Billy King. When King said he was looking for a good backup point guard, Mr. J., perhaps having visions of being the next Dr. J., took to the court. Video after the jump.

Brooklyn Bridge Park Raccoon Captured

Claude Scales — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 23:50:19 +0000

Our friends at Gothamist got some scary looking photos taken last night by Bobby Finger of a ragged looking one-eyed raccoon seen climbing a chain link fence next to a walkway adjoining Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The critter in the photo above is another, much healthier looking Brooklyn raccoon, caught on pixels by our friend Flatbush Gardener. You may recall our publisher Homer Fink’s encounter with a raccoon two and a half years ago, right on Willow Street!

The raccoon wasn’t the first instance of mammalian wildlife (apart from the unfortunately ubiquitous Rattus norvegicus or the familiar grey squirrel) to be spotted in the Park. Our man Karl found a muskrat living in a pond next to Pier 1 in August, 2010, and named him (or her) “Dodger.” Dodger hasn’t been seen since.

Gothamist updated their post to report that Park officials confirmed that the raccoon has been captured.

Brooklyn Bridge Park: New Pool Hours

Claude Scales — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:34:31 +0000

Karl and his cam have been regular visitors to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pool, so he was on hand for the posting of new hours for pool use that go into effect today. To accommodate more swimmers, shifts have been shortened from one hour to 45 minutes, with 15 minutes allowed for changeover. The first shift begins at 10:00 a.m. and goes to 10:45; the second from 11:00 to 11:45, and so on through 5:00 to 5:45 p.m. This will increase daily capacity by 60%. Video after the jump.

Mr. J. Takes the Plunge at the BBP Pool

Claude Scales — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 02:33:53 +0000

Karl and cam were on hand for the opening of the “pop-up-pool” (expected to stay popped up for five years) near Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Following the brief opening remarks by State Senator Daniel Squadron and City Council Member Steve Levin, swimmers eagerly jumped into the water to escape the rising temperature. Eventually, Mr. J. himself couldn’t resist the pool’s allure, and entrusted his cam to someone who caught him emerging from the water. Video after the jump.

Karl Dines at Governor, Sees E.T. at BBP’s ‘Movies With A View’

Claude Scales — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:39:01 +0000

Mr. J. tries the fare at Governor, the latest dining venue by the folks who brought us Colonie and Gran Electrica. The food at Governor, located at 15 Main Street in DUMBO, elicited a new adjective, SOOO-perb! Afterwards, Mr. J. took the short walk to Pier 1 to catch the opening of this summer’s SyFy Movies With a View series, E.T. (The Extra-Terrestrial). Video after the jump.

Karl Watches Shuttle Enterprise From The Promenade, Then Goes (Where Else?) To The Park

Claude Scales — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 03:11:00 +0000

Mr. J., with cam on the Promenade, catches the Enterprise riding a barge on its trip into the Hudson and to its new permanent home at the Intrepid Air, Sea and Space Museum on Manhattan’s West Side. Heading up the Promenade, he takes a gander at the new swimming pool under construction near Pier 2. Knowing Karl’s love of Brooklyn Bridge Park, we’re not surprised that he then went down to Pier 1 for a break at the Wine Bar. See video after the jump.
