Red Hook is a fairly out of the way little sub neighborhood of Brooklyn that has a pretty checkered past and sort of a xenophobic attitude to outsiders it would seem. (as I guessed from seeing a couple "Welcome to Red Hook, Now 'GIT" bumper stickers) Maybe it's their quiet, fisherman attitudes and their perceived separateness from the rest of Brooklyn since there's only one bus that goes in and out.
But I find it really charming and peaceful being right on the water. And with the faint reddish tint that the cobble stones and old warehouses seem to give everything. And seeing as it's only about my 4th night back, I got to see some good old friends I haven't seen in months and snack on free key lime pies and a tall can of Rolling rock. I guess Summer is over now officially. Not a bad way to go out...
