Truly had the insight Red Hook needed to be reborn. Always knowing and seeing beyond the diamond in the rough. Undeniably admirable qualities that he was able to remain humble; unlike most of his stature and insight. blessings. I wonder if he peels the potatoes as his father did. I think his the vision for his Buffalo and Geneseo projects should be more of return to Main Street America with a retro flair somewhat like Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs, NY.

]]> Comment on Last remnants of the first Puerto Rican community in Brooklyn by Little Puerto Rican From the Puerto Rican Village http://reportingredhook.wordpress.com/2007/09/10/last-remnants-of-the-first-puerto-rican-community-in-brooklyn/#comment-36 Little Puerto Rican From the Puerto Rican Village Sat, 26 Apr 2008 03:43:19 +0000 http://reportingredhook.wordpress.com/2007/09/10/last-remnants-of-the-first-puerto-rican-community-in-brooklyn/#comment-36 In reference to the puerto rican village, it wasn't just a empty lot where homeless people lived in shacks. That empty lot was once a beautiful park with trees,benches and a waterfall. The park was build by a group of very talented Puerto Rican men from the area. My father being one of them. When the city started the construction on the sewer line on Columbia street the foundations on alot of the houses were effected. Houses started to fall and people had to relocate. Columbia street became a ghost time. Most of the old timers had moved and the ones who couldn't afford to stayed until they just die off. With that being said the Puerto Rican Village was left with no on to attend to it. With no place to live people moved into the park where they build shacks to keep the elements out. So you see the Puerto Rican village was not just a empty lot with shacks. it was much more than that. It would be nice if people would do their research before making statements about a area they know nothing about In reference to the puerto rican village, it wasn’t just a empty lot where homeless people lived in shacks.
