Good evening, folks! It's time for another #HarborDefenseHappyBirthday ! We would like to wish a Happy 266th... or 268th... Birthday to Revolutionary War Artilleryman, Financial Wiz, and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton! He was born on January 11th, on or about 1755...or 1757. 1756? Who knows?? While his life and career are well studied and spoken of, we mention him here today as he is the namesake of Fort Hamilton, New York. Located in Brooklyn, it comprises one half of "The Narrows," opposite Staten Island - and Fort Wadsworth. The natural promontory between the two makes a natural choke point - and a perfect defensive location. Fort Hamilton had gun emplacements from 1825 onwards, first with masonry fortifications and then concrete batteries in the late 1890s. (Pic 2) Photos 3-5 show the Post from the air, as well as one of the Engineering maps. Fort Hamilton holds the unique honor of being the last active Army Post in the installations that comprised the Harbor Defenses of New York. Regrettably, it is also the least intact. From the 1960's onward, the concrete batteries and part of the historic masonry fortifications were demolished or buried to make way for the Belt Parkway; it was also However, the US Army's Harbor Defense Museum is located on-site, in the remnants of the Old masonry Fort. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: 1PubDom; 2-3 army.mil; 4-5 fortwiki.com #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #forthamilton #fthamilton #coastartillery #harbordefense #newyorkcityhistory #newyorkhistory #alexanderhamilton #hamilton #foundingfathers #foundingfather #treasurydepartment #brooklynhistory (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnS2h-2tEi-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bay Ridge Brooklyn Is In Our Service Area

Bay Ridge Brooklyn Is In Our Service Area https://ift.tt/qAcNTrV The Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City’s Bay Ridge is located in the southwest. Its northern boundary is set by Sunset Park, its eastern boundary by Dyker Heights, its western boundary by the Narrows and Belt Parkway, and its southern boundary by Fort Hamilton Army Base and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Fort Hamilton is a sub-neighborhood that includes the part of Bay Ridge that is south of 86th Street. WHAT TO AIM FOR a tranquil, suburban-style waterfront community that is diverse and well-kept. THE WAY OF LIFE Family-friendly and unpretentious. Everybody has a unique combination of favorite local hangouts. UNPREDICTABLE APPEAL gentrification’s absence A MARKET Single-family and multi-family homes that are reasonably priced, along with a few co-ops and truly exceptional properties. QUIET, LOCAL LIVING ON THE WATER WILL WIN YOUR LOVE. Attributes Brooklyn, New York City Around the Block Ontime Some people complain that the same national chains control the retail landscape in particular New York City neighborhoods, but this is not true of Bay Ridge. Despite the fact that it may not be home to important cultural institutions, Bay Ridge is said to have the most happy hour bars on the planet. The bustling after-work scene along Third Avenue will force you to take that claim seriously, even if it is perhaps questionable. A green space for all seasons, Owl’s Head Park is tucked away in the northwest corner. One person’s summer picnic spot may be another person’s winter sledding destination. A thriving oasis created and maintained by the locals, Narrows Botanical Gardens is a sanctuary along the coast.

Lucy Spata house 1152 84th St Brooklyn NY 11228 Between 12 & 11 Avenue DHCL cited to be started by Lucy Spata when she moved to the neighborhood from Bensonhurst in 1986 no one on the block decorated back in the early 1980's Lucy started small with a snowflake and some blow mold light up soldiers then went bigger and the neighborhood caught on and joined in making it the uplifting display that it has gown to be. Lucy Spata first put up her display with 40 angels on her lawn to honor her mother after she passed away in 1986. In July 2019 Lucy's husband Anthony Spata passed away and had Lucy promise that she would keep on decorating for Christmas to which she agreed calling it a beautiful tradition. Lucy does not accept donations for the lighting bill as Spata does this from her heart wanting the children who visit to feel the warmth and joy of the season, if children visit at special time they can meet Santa Claus on the red chair in front of the home which is the same red chair where many pose for their annual Brooklyn Christmas photos, Merry Christmas from I Love NY!

Song prompt: Ghost - Jacob Lee

He almost doesn't notice him at first, his baseball cap pulled low, slouched in between the tall Hasidic man who's folding up his newspaper and the woman with her curly hair in puffs who's got a pit bull in the duffel bag on her lap. The man's familiar gaze skids past his eyes, the moment catching. At least he thinks it does. It’s lost behind the edges of a wide brim hat and the fluorescent purple cone the dog is wearing. He wonders if it might be his eyes playing tricks.

Before he can be sure, the man gets off the train at Fort Hamilton, fading into the late afternoon crowd and quickly replaced by two kids with a boombox who insist on taking up the aisle until Bay Parkway.

--

He's just getting back from his run, the suits already lined up by the food cart on 46th and Park, the next time that he thinks that he sees him, standing with his coffee to the side, obscured by the foot traffic and the woman pacing with her cell phone at the corner. At this angle, he thinks he can make out a faded logo. It could be a threadbare, white B. Or it could just be wishful thinking. He waits to cross the street, but when he gets there, the woman is signaling for a taxi. An older man in boat shoes stares at him, the recognition flickering across his sun-tanned face.

--

The park is mostly empty this early. A handful of other runners, a dog walker with his headphones in, someone dragging a lawn chair in the direction of the Belvedere Castle, or maybe the theater beyond it. He’s tempted to stop for a bottle of water, an excuse to get his bearings. There’s a bus that’s pulling up on 81st, just the shadow of movement, a sweatshirt that seems excessive for July, even on a drizzly, overcast morning. His water bottle forgotten, he takes off toward the museum. Theodore Roosevelt looks down at him disapprovingly when he loses sight of the shadow that he’d been chasing, the men flanking him an uncomfortable pit in his stomach. There’s no one else there except for the statue and an older woman pushing a stroller, a blonde little boy holding onto her hand and yawning out that he’s not sleepy.

--

After stopping by that burrito place on Flatbush, he’s almost looking for it, looking for him in strangers’ faces: the nurse in green scrubs that hurries past him, the little girls still in their school uniforms jumping rope in front of their apartment building, the man in the wheel chair speaking Spanish to his health aide, who’s got his shopping looped around the somewhat crooked handles. There’s a couple selling mango slices from a fold out table, and a younger man in an NYU t-shirt with a shopping cart that’s overfilled with laundry. He doesn’t want to think about it, moving faster past the group of women in yoga pants and sports bras outside the Planet Fitness, the boy with his grandpa on a scooter trying to reach the ice cream truck that shouldn’t be parked where it is. He almost misses it then, those eyes that land on him, so blue they’re practically frozen, his shout lost to the road construction and the traffic.

--

It’s in Grand Central when he catches him again. Of course, it’s in Grand Central. Too many people, too much noise in the morning commute. He knows better than to bother with it most days, taking the long way past Brooklyn Heights and the bridge, up past City Hall and Chambers Street through Chinatown and turning West toward the Hudson before it’s time to double back for a few laps around the park, and then south again toward the tower, impossible to miss among the other monoliths that take up too much space and too much sunlight. Park Avenue is wide enough that it’s not as claustrophobic here as around what used to be Penn Station, with all of its stores and its tourists and that general sense of unease. He almost misses him then, almost misses the halting way he trips over his Russian, almost like he’s not used to speaking at all, as he points out something on a map to the small group that’s clustered around him, a family with too many suitcases. He—

When the crowd parts enough, when he finally manages to make his way across the atrium, his early meeting forgotten, the family’s still there, but not the man he was certain that they’d been asking for directions. Not the ghost that hasn’t left him alone once, not in these intervening years.

He’s pretty sure he’s not crazy. Not when—

There’s no one there. He’s late anyway, quiet enough the rest of them start to get worried.

--

He knows he could just walk back, enjoy the view from the bridge in the pleasant warmth of the summer finally fading into fall. Something stops him though, tells him he’s better off taking the 6 down to Bleecker and switching trains. He usually knows better than to bother.

But maybe it’s intuition, or some kind of masochistic need to retrace all of his steps, take him back to where he thinks that this started, these glimpses of someone that he could have once sworn was dead.

As usual, the escalator down is crowded. A sea of faces that he doesn’t look too closely at, too much conversation around him. But there’s—

There’s movement out of the corner of his eye, someone pausing on the staircase by the windows. He thinks—

It’s only the barest flicker of a smile, an invitation almost. He thinks that it might be enough, at least for now.

Summer Solstice lasted in 2019 of an Artist Image of the Hotter Month than a Year. Seems like a hundred degrees for Fahrenheit between 71st Street & Fort Hamilton Parkway and Park Place & Carlton Avenue.

Wow, It looks like the SMART Weather for the summer time. Seems like the hotter day than a year.
