    Hey Tom, So I stumbled upon your videos while researching an upcoming trip for my little family. I am visually disabled and watch as many videos of an area as I can to get a sense of the place and feel as independent as possible. I will say that I am not a big city guy at all, but I wanted to bring my family to NY to get a sense of what it is like. Your video has me really excited to visit. Something I thought I would ever say or feel. What a gift you are to have that kind of impact. THANK YOU !!! Keep up the wonderful work and much love to you

    Great Video! Just a few notes. John Jackson bought the land from the Sands Brothers. The Sands Brothers originally planned on calling the area Olympia, but the land around the Bay was a marsh and they didn't think the land that Vinegar Hill is on was worth much. They thought Jackson was a chump they could unload the land to, and he ended up making a ton of money by selling the bay area to the Navy for a shipyard. He called the area Vinegar Hill to attract Irish immigrants, who were shipbuilders, who then bought homes and now had jobs. Jackson was a genius. You can find a lot of hidden history and stories about Vinegar Hill, online, at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle archive.

    Well, god help me, from 1997-1999 I lived over here on Concord St., between Duffield and Gold or whatever it is. Just down from Tillary St. When I was living here,
    sharing a stupid three level apt. duplex building with other roomies for super cheap rent (but major aggravation!). We had a constant turnover of nuts and wackjobs, or some, anyway.
    There was nearly no good food over here at the time, and Dumbo wasn't even really Dumbo yet. I had to hike it to Brooklyn Heights and Henry St. to go food shopping
    at a real supermarket, and I would spend a lot of time at the Cadman Plaza diner. WE had a dodgy McDonalds that was on Tillary St. but is now long gone, I think now
    it's part of a hotel, and.or a storage co. I had a weird Asian huge hardware store across from my building, which came in handy at times. Now i hear they've renovated
    most of the apt. buildings over there, and Concord St., and the buildings are now worth millions instead of a lowly $245,000 etc. Incredible. The only good thing
    was that it was only a 15 min. walk to most subways and the buses at Cadman Plaza. And Brooklyn Heights. I did finally get a good PC and had dial up Internet (LOL)
    for a few years over there. Plus a fabulous tiny Magnavox TV with a shitty VHS, and a free Brooklyn Cable TV hookup, provided by my wonderful slumlord! LOL
    I would have killed to have a Wegmans over there when I lived here, it would have been all of a 10 minute walk from home. The Navy Yard didn't really have anything
    to offer back then, either, unlike these days.

    But seriously, howzabout during the spring thaw going back to Wallabout Bay for the emerging floaters popping up ? You can explain how methane gas makes things buoyant or not.
    Then again, Tom on the Rocks kinda covers that so ...
