Bruce Ratner Versus Gowanus: They Did The Mash
Who Walk in Brooklyn
If the image of the Virgin Mary appeared in the oily film on the Gowanus Canal, might true-believers actually anoint themselves with holy water? What about when it's Slick Bruce Ratner?
Berenice (”The Abbott”)/BZA, Photo Editor reports: To the shock of many & delight of all, yesterday afternoon an anonymous reader sent in the near-genius collage at left. I was out surfing in Rockaway but when I got out of the water & was warm enough to check my messages at the library (shout out to the Peninsula branch of the QPL: what’s good, homies?), I agreed with The Publisher: it had to be an inside job. J’accuse?! Not me, boss, & without disparaging the myriad skills of our other editors & reporters, I strongly question whether anyone of them did it either. Can ya’ll imagine, say, an Ernie Koy Jr. or Zyczymy Smacznego sitting there & tweaking the “ripple” effect? I think not. But if– as it was signed– “Diogenes of South Brooklyn” ain’t us then… is it tu or is it vous?
Ce n'etait pas nous! Mais comme Bruce Ratner, ce canal crie "Clean Me!"
